Most people who finish a language course stop. Stopping is what decides the outcome. This class gives you a system, not advice: a fifteen-minute daily minimum, a weekly structure, and fixes for the two places learners fail, the bilingual trap and the intermediate plateau. It also covers where to find people, two study habits worth more than any app, and realistic milestones from three months to two years. And it gives you the request to make, again and again: എന്നോട് മലയാളത്തിൽ സംസാരിക്കാമോ? (ennodu malayaalathil samsaarikkaamo?), could you speak to me in Malayalam? Key Malayalam words for this topic: എന്നോട് മലയാളത്തിൽ സംസാരിക്കാമോ?
