Class 250 is not a summary. It is about what this course has really been for, and three things to take with you. The argument is that the subject was never only Malayalam. It was what happens when a person takes a place seriously and is willing to be bad at a language in public until it stops being translated. Then three things to keep: a habit (three sentences out loud every night), one sentence to say whenever somebody switches to English, and one person who will speak Malayalam with you. Words and phrases in this class: ഞാൻ മലയാളം പഠിക്കുകയാണ്. മലയാളത്തിൽ പറയാമോ?
