This is a reference grammar of the standard spoken variety of Tamil, a language with 65 million speakers in India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Singapore. The spoken variety is radically different from the standard literary variety, last standardized in the thirteenth century. The standard spoken language is used by educated people in their interactions with people from different regions and different social groups, and is also the dialect used in films, plays and the media. This book, a much expanded version of the author s Grammar of Spoken Tamil (1979), is the first such grammar to contain examples both in Tamil script and in transliteration, and the first to be written so as to be accessible to students studying the modern spoken language as well as to linguists and other specialists. The book has benefitted from extensive native-speaker input and the author s own long experience of teaching Tamil to English-speakers.

Language learning, which is a conscious process, is the product of either a formal learning situation or a self-study programme (Kramina, 2000: 27). Language learning begins at birth and continues throughout life. People learn languages as they use it to communicate their thoughts, feelings, and experiences establish relationships with family members and friends, and strive to make sense and order of their world. By learning and incorporating new language structures into their repertoire and using them in a variety of contexts, people develop language fluency and proficiency. Opportunities to learn language occur first at home and it extends as children move into the larger community. Schools provide environments where students continue to develop language knowledge, skills and strategies to achieve personal, social, and academic goals. 'Languages learning made easy' is a great contribution made by the present author. It is a huge compilation of languages related rules, structures, and, pictorial presentations. It is a self-study guide for many who aspire to communicate in many languages. One language serves as scaffolding for another language while learning the grammatical rules and structures. Therefore, learners can acquire languages at ease and progress stage by stage with determination. The material also covers several topics related to daily life and living environments. Having gained the basic knowledge of the words related to everyday life, learners would be able to communicate with others without any hesitation. Therefore, it is highly recommended that learners who wish to become multi-linguists must own a copy of it and immerse in joyful learning.
