Frequently asked questions
What age can my child start Malayalam classes?
From age 5. Lessons for young children are shorter, playful and song-based; older kids and teens follow a faster conversational track.
My child understands Malayalam but won't speak it. Can you help?
Yes — this is the most common starting point for heritage kids. Spoken-first, judgement-free practice converts passive understanding into confident speaking surprisingly fast.
Do kids need to learn the Malayalam script?
Not to start. Speaking comes first in easy Romanised Malayalam; script reading is added when your child is ready, if you wish.
Can siblings learn together?
Yes — family rates and sibling arrangements are available. Many families alternate one-to-one lessons between children.
