Professional TeacherWhy do you Understand Tamil but Hesitate to Speak?
Problem:
Many people understand Tamil but hesitate to speak with family members.
The main reason is fear of making mistakes, not lack of knowledge.
Solution (Simple & Practical):
1️⃣ Use short full sentences, not single words
❌ “Sapadu”
✅ “Enakku sapadu venum”
2️⃣ Repeat the same sentence daily
Use one sentence for 3–5 days until it feels natural.
3️⃣ Speak first at home, not outside
Family is the safest place to practice.
4️⃣ Ignore grammar in the beginning
Clarity > correctness. Fluency comes later.
Tamil confidence builds through daily use, not memorization.
Which situation is hardest for you to speak Tamil?
– With parents
– With partner
– With relatives
