Great lesson with Tamilselvi. We continued learning the letters for loanwords. We also reviewed a number of the consonant/vowel combinations. After that, we continued on to spoken Tamil and learned more about common verbs. Tamilselvi gave me different options and asked me about what was important for me to learn, which I really appreciated. Tamilselvi does a nice job of reviewing to make sure I understand!

Great lesson with Tamilselvi! We learned two new vowel-consonant combinations. We looked at many example words using the new combinations. Tamilselvi helped me understand and fix my mistakes with reading and pronunciation. We also reviewed a bit of spoken Tamil. Tamilselvi does a real nice job of using many words to make sure that I understand how to read them!

Great lesson with Tamilselvi! We reviewed several more sets of consonant/vowel combinations. We also learned some new words using these combinations, and Tamilselvi showed me how to write my name in Tamil. After that, we worked on spoken Tamil. Tamilselvi does a nice job of going through the materials and reviewing the letters!

Great lesson with Tamilselvi! We learned the consonants combined with the "ao" vowel and read words that contain that combination. We also practiced spoken Tamil and learned about subject-verb agreement. Tamilselvi's lesson is low-stress and she does a good job of explaining the concepts!

Great lesson with Tamilselvi! We learned two new varisai combinations, and learned many words using them. We also did some basic conversation. Tamilselvi helped clear up some of the confusion I had over letters that look similar and also gave some pointers on pronunciation!
