Tamil is a Dravidian language spoken by the Tamil people of South India, which is the official language of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, and an official language of Singapore and Sri Lanka and it is also the official language of the Union Territory of Puducherry. It is spoken by minorities in the four other South Indian states.

Learning Tamil is based on the person who is learning. Tamil can be a hard language to learn for few people or it might be easier for other people than expected.

Here are some of the factors about the Tamil language that you should know

Grammar

When compared to many other languages of the world, Tamil has a very simplified and structured grammar. Tamil has simple grammar formulas which will be easy for beginners to start with. When considering these grammar rules, learning Tamil will not be difficult for you. When you start to learn the grammar formulas you will find them easier to understand.

The Gender Rule

The use of gender in the Tamil language is also very defined. Learning the basics of gender rules in any new language will give you a grip to learn that target language.  For example, in the Tamil language, verbs are structured and remain gender-neutral for the first and second person in a sentence. But only for the third person do the verb structures change based on the gender used. Thus it is easier for you to learn the gender rules in the Tamil language.

Pronunciation 

In the Tamil language, the pronunciations of specific letters are difficult when you are at a beginner level. For the same letter, there are different variations that might be confusing at first when you start studying the language. For example, the pronunciation of “zh” will be difficult for at beginner level, but when you are at an intermediate level you will find it easy to pronounce.

Don’t Draw Comparisons With English

If you are a Native English speaker then the grammatical features of Tamil might be confusing and find it difficult. This is because of the difference in sentence structure and grammar between English and Tamil. When you are a native English speaker then it will be easy to learn Tamil as a beginner only when you start to learn it as a new language instead of trying to get examples of English, by comparison with it.

The Difference in Written and Spoken Forms

The written and spoken forms of the Tamil language are very different from each other and this is a common trait for major Indian languages. This form might make it difficult for beginners to learn Tamil as the written form when spoken seems to be very old-fashioned and pretentious. But with regular practice in written and spoken language, this difference will become easier to learn for Indians.

The Tamil Language is solid like the Sun which has the longest life in Human History. Any language will be difficult at the beginners level and you will find it easier when reaching the intermediate stage.
