Why Speaking Tamil Feels Difficult (Even When You Understand It) Many people understand Tamil well. They know the words. But when it comes to speaking, they hesitate. This does not mean a lack of ability. The real issue is where and how practice begins. Common mistakes: Trying to speak perfectly in public situations Worrying too much about grammar Fear of being judged for mistakes A better approach: 1️⃣ Start with thinking in Tamil Before speaking, form the sentence silently in your mind. 2️⃣ Practice with one safe person A parent, partner, or close family member is enough. 3️⃣ Repeat the same sentence Use one sentence in the same situation for 2–3 days. Confidence develops through safety and repetition, not memorisation or rules #Tamillanguagelearning
