Numbers and time are where learners know the rule and still freeze, so this class is a workout, not an explanation. Every pause is your turn to speak. You drill one to twenty and hear why eleven is 'ten-one', the tens built on പത്, then hundreds, thousands, lakh and crore, which you must switch to because nobody in Kerala says million. Then prices and change, the clock (രണ്ടര for half past two, രണ്ടേ പതിനഞ്ച് for 2:15), the times of day, single words for the day after tomorrow and the day before yesterday, and the weekday names, each of which is a planet.
