It’s hard for many people to admit they don’t understand something (whether they're native or non-native English speakers). But it’s crucial for avoiding misunderstandings and a vital skill to learn for your career success. 

In the workplace, you must speak up when you don’t understand. Otherwise, you’re not doing your part to ensure good communication is taking place. Do you have the humility, confidence, and vocabulary needed to speak up in the workplace?

Feeling Misunderstood? 5 Phrases to Use When Asking for Clarification

Spesso quando studiamo una lingua straniera, per ovvie ragioni pratiche, facciamo ampio utilizzo della traduzione, servendoci un dizionario bilingue, (gli amanti dell'analogico) o di un dizionario online (gli amanti del virtuale), o come nel mio caso di entrambi. il più delle volte la traduzione dei singoli elementi da una lingua all'altra funziona, grazie al duro lavoro di linguisti e traduttori, ma ci sono alcune volte nelle quali rendere esattamente lo stesso significato da una lingua all'altra non è così facile... Buon ascolto!

Episode 36: The wonders of the internet!

The single pronunciation habit that decides whether a Malayali hears you clearly or politely pretends to. It is not the retroflexes and it is not the ഴ. It is the hold.

Malayalam doubles its consonants constantly, and the doubling is not decoration. A held consonant and a quick one are different words — in exactly the way English "ship" and "sheep" are different words. Not similar. Different.

I am Dr. Reshmi R. Nair, an applied linguist from Kerala. I have taught hundreds of learners to speak Malayalam as it is actually spoken.

LISTEN TO THE PAIRS
ഇല - ila - leaf
ഇല്ല - illa - no, there is not

പനി - pani - fever
പന്നി - panni - pig

അല - ala - wave
അല്ല - alla - is not

കല - kala - art
കല്ല് - kallu - stone

Sit with that first pair, because it explains why this lesson exists. Say ഇല്ല with a lazy single l and you have just said "leaf".

WHY LEARNERS MISS IT
English has doubled letters in spelling but not in sound — "hopping" and "hoping" differ in the vowel, not in how long the p is held. So an English speaker's ear has spent a lifetime treating consonant length as meaningless, and their mouth releases every consonant early. In Malayalam that habit turns one word into another, several times a sentence, and Malayalis are too polite to correct it.

THE FIX
Physically hold the consonant. Stop the air. Count a beat inside your head before releasing. It will feel absurdly exaggerated to you and it will sound simply correct to a Malayali — which is the reliable sign that you have got it.

Say ഇല and ഇല്ല out loud five times each, then post which pair you find hardest.
