I've been interested in learning a language called Malayalam. The problem is though, there is a complete absence of any well-written comprehensive Malayalam textbooks or grammar guides for English-speaking learners of Malayalam. There are some terrible ones written by random people on Amazon, however no real learning resources (except a university course written by the PeaceCorps, which is ok, but only has a limited amount of content). I would start by using basic materials, but the problem is I don't know enough vocab or grammar to work my way through anything, and I can't find a good, reliable, professionally-made English-Malayalam dictionary for reference.


Learning a language demands a lot of patience and persistence. A big hazard in learning a new language is the hesitance to break the mental barriers. Malayalam is one of the Dravidian languages, which has a long literary tradition. Due to the unique sounds and tricky pronunciation of words, the language is assumed to be the toughest one to learn.


Keralites who are living outside Kerala find it difficult to pass on their mother tongue to the younger generation. Malayalam language learning schools online in recent years have come forward to take up this initiative.


You can do a lot in the language during a few months of learning. But if you would like to speak a language for the rest of your life it needs constant practice. Further, you may need to improve the language by living life through it. Once you attain fluency in a language, it is likely to stay with you pretty much forever.
