Ciya Manoj

Ciya has been my teacher from the beginning of my Malayalam journey. She taught me everything I know. She taught me how to read and write the script, understand basic vocabulary and grammar, and she has shared interesting aspects of Kerala's culture along the way. Even though learning a language is a long process, I am excited to see how far I have come.

Ciya is a great teacher and I am able to learn a lot from her. Her classes fit my learning needs and she is very motivating. Thank you so much Ciya!

Starting with no previous knowledge, I have now completed 100 sessions with Ciya. She also taught me the handwritten forms of the Malayalam script with a digital writing pad, something that is very important, yet few teachers of languages with a non-European writing system have done for me. Learning Malayalam requires time, and Ciya has always been very patient, friendly, and helpful with me. She also explains about Kerala culture and traditions. Regardless of your language level, I can warmly recommend studying with Ciya. She is one of the gems teaching here on iTalki.

I had a wonderful lesson! I learned a lot, going over vocabulary and discussing some new things in Malayalam. I would highly recommend Ciya. She's very patient, and she geared lessons to fit my learning style. Thank you!

Ciya is an excellent teacher and we had a very good first trial lesson. I will definitely be taking more classes with her in the future. We discussed my learning goals and she shared some aspects of Kerala culture and gave me a brief introduction to test where I was with the language. I’m excited to take more classes with her as she joins me along my learning experience.

I had a great lesson with Ciya! She made is easy to strike up a conversation with her. She was friendly, patient, and professional throughout the lesson. I hope to see her again soon! Thank you!
