骄傲的雨伞

南方雨涟涟的，人的生活实在离不了雨伞。

一把撑开后没收拢的雨伞不知怎么一来就骄傲了，它对屋里的家什说：“嚯，你们说……我谁呀？老大！闲着还罢了，一旦我施展身手，哟……天就哭，太阳就躲！人呀，也得我护着！”

桌子是不大出门的，不敢说什么。衣架刚刚被雨淋得一身狼狈，也不便开口，大家都听雨伞吹。

“各位，我谁呀？老大……今后，我得‘大庇天下风雨人’了，嚯，责任重哟！”雨伞越吹越自在。 屋外的雨也越加涟涟的……

雨伞的自吹，房主人听到没有，谁也不知道。

只是，雨停后几天，房主人收到一位远在沙漠考察的朋友的来信，朋友在信中戏谑地说：“在他乡，念你……能不能寄一件礼物以解挂念呢？记住，我要的可是‘最无用的东西’哟！”

思考了一会，房主人到邮局给在沙漠考察的朋友寄了雨伞——一把骄傲的雨伞。

🎙️ Episode 1: நானும் கிரிக்கெட் விளையாடணும் அப்பா!
Movie: Kanaa (2018)

In this very first episode of Padam Pesudhu, we explore an emotional and powerful line from the Tamil movie Kanaa – “நானும் கிரிக்கெட் விளையாடணும் அப்பா!” (“I want to play cricket too, Dad!”)

We’ll break down this sentence word by word, understand how spoken Tamil differs from formal Tamil, and learn how to use this pattern (நான் + verb + ணும்) to express your own dreams and desires.

You'll also learn:

The emotional depth behind this scene

The meaning of each word in context

How to pronounce and repeat it with confidence

How to replace "cricket" with other actions like studying, speaking, singing, etc.

Whether you're a beginner or revisiting Tamil after years, this episode helps you connect language with feeling — using real cinema moments.

🎬 From the fields of a small village to the cricket pitch, Kanaa is not just a film — it's a journey. And you're going to learn Tamil through it.

Let’s get started!

Episode 14. 〜ないで

In this episode, a student from David's 'Movies, TV, and Podcasts' course discusses a new movie; 'Downton Abbey - The end of an era'. This quintessential English drama reveals a great deal about life in an upper-class English family. Listen as Helen tells us why she was attracted to the movie, who her favourite character is, and whether she would recommend the movie to other students of English. If you've watched the movie, please send me your comments, and let me know whether you agree with Helen's review.
