The Best Book for Learning Tamil
The best book on the market for those who want to get started in Tamil. Indian languages can be daunting and seem inaccesible but Sanjay has opened the door for English-speakers to learn Tamil. He also offers great support to all those who buy his books. Highly recommended!

By far the best Tamil learning book out there
I purchased several Tamil language learning books before finding this one. This was by far the best. It was clearly organized in a way that is easy for English speakers to understand, and included a wealth of supplemental materials, helpful information, and even tips on cultural norms. The author, Sanjay D., even provides his contact information and offers a free tutoring session. I reached out to the author and found him to be incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. After using this book, I was more able to communicate with my Tamil friends and family, and even learned to read Tamil script. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about Tamil!

What you need!
I'm the kind of person who needs to know how to read and write and learn grammar/conjugations before being able to memorize vocabulary. This is perfect for me. It can be slightly confusing because it's not written in perfect English, it's written by a tamil speaker, but I'm able to work it out. Comes with a Memrise set of vocabulary which goes along with the book!! Memrise could be better because sometimes the English options are capitalized in odd areas and that makes a difference when choosing between two almost identical English answers, you'll notice the pattern and be able to pick the right ones but I'm hoping I'll be able to fix that in the set myself later on.

EXCELLENT -- More Than a Book
Sanjay is an incredible teacher! He has written this amazing book that is so well-planned and laid out that it makes learning a foreign language much simpler. He includes many tools with the purchase— access to online courses, videos, music, movie links, and more. He is accessible for questions and support by email.Because I was so impressed with his book and helpfulness via email, I have hired him as my teacher. He offers affordable rates and teaches at a pace that is both challenging and something I can keep up with. He has an adaptable approach to teaching; he is patient and fun! He suggests various practices to keep me learning outside the classroom, and he positively reinforces my progress to keep me motivated and confident.By purchasing this book, you are giving yourself more than just an ordinary book. You are opening yourself up to a world of opportunity should you choose to use all the tools Sanjay generously offers. I am sure you will be pleased! Happy learning and expanding your world!

This is THE BOOK to get for spoken tamil!
This is a breakthrough book unlike any other for Tamil. My husband and I moved to Chennai a number of years ago. Our shelves are lined with how to learn Tamil text books. We even took a course at the Tamil Institute which helped us read but there was zero practical application. Tamil is a very difficult language compared to Hindi and any Latin based language-at least for an English speaker. But this book cracks the code. It’s written in a way that a language learner would want to logically learn. No more just trying to memorize and hope it’s right without fully understanding it. Thank you, Sanjay. We really appreciate you doing this. It must have truly been a labor of love. It took a lot of work to do this since no other book has done this before. I hope you can get this into all the language schools as the main text book. It’s a necessity. Next time we are in the states, we’ll also get the print book. May you have great success!

Fantastic Book by Sanjay
Sanjay's 'Spoken Tamil for Absolute Beginners' is a clear and comprehensive guide for anyone embarking on their Tamil language journey. The book's systematic approach, enriched by Sanjay's personal insights, makes the learning process both engaging and effective. Having also interacted with the author and used this book in live lessons, I can vouch for its practicality and relevance in today's world where the Tamil of reading isn't necessarily the Tamil of speaking.

Invaluable resource for a committed learner.
Seems to be a useful resource, probably perfect for the committed learner of the language. But not so sure I’m a committed enough learner—it’s a challenging resource to get your head around and probably requires the user to have a background of some sort in linguistics or language learning, which I have to some extent.
