Three people, three explanations, one take each at normal speed — including an auto driver on why the meter fare is not always enough. You learned how to explain a process in Malayalam. Now listen to native speakers do it: the reasons, the examples and the 'that is why' that holds an explanation together. A demanding, rewarding listening class. The whole class is in Malayalam — listen for the shape first, let the rest wash over you, and replay it daily for a week. Words and phrases you will hear: കാര്യം ഇതാണ് (kaaryam ithaanu) – here's the thing ഒരു കുഴപ്പവുമില്ല (oru kuzhappavumilla) – no problem at all എന്തുകൊണ്ട്? (enthukondu?) – why? കാരണം (kaaranam) – because, the reason തിരിച്ച് ആളെ കിട്ടില്ല (thirichu aale kittilla) – you won't get a passenger back പെട്രോൾ ചെലവ് ഇരട്ടിയാകും (petrol chelavu irattiyaakum) – the petrol cost doubles ഉദാഹരണത്തിന് (udaaharanathinu) – for example അതുകൊണ്ടാണ് (athukondaanu) – that's why ചിലപ്പോൾ (chilappol) – sometimes മീറ്റർ തന്നെ മതി (meter thanne mathi) – the meter alone is enough വിശദീകരിക്കുക (vishadeekarikkuka) – to explain In this class: • Three natural explanations at normal speed, heard once • The connectors of explaining — because, for example, that's why • Why auto drivers sometimes ask for more than the meter • Listening for structure rather than every word Quizzes below.
