Weekly Event

The Malayalam Conversation Club

Every Sunday · 6:30 AM IST · 45 minutes

A friendly 45-minute group conversation hour on Zoom — every single week, hosted by me. No grammar lectures, no pressure, no charge. Just real people practising real Malayalam together, mistakes welcome.

How it works

  • Who: anyone learning Malayalam — complete beginners get their own breakout questions.
  • What: guided conversation games — introduce yourself, order imaginary chaaya, survive a mock family function.
  • When: every Sunday at 6:30 AM IST — that’s Saturday evening in North America (9:00 PM ET / 6:00 PM PT) and late Sunday morning in Australia (11:00 AM AEST).

Reserve your seat

Seats are capped so everyone gets speaking time. WhatsApp me the word CLUB and you’ll get this Sunday’s Zoom link. Next session: this Sunday, 6:30 AM IST.

Warm up before you come

Run through the conversation examples with audio, learn today’s Word of the Day, and bring one sentence about yourself. That’s plenty.

How a club session runs

Each session follows the same simple shape: a warm-up with greetings, one everyday topic such as food, family or travel, short conversations in pairs, and a recap of the useful phrases that came up. Nobody is put on the spot; beginners can listen first and join in when ready.

Skip the app queue — learn with a real teacher

Apps are great practice. A trained Malayalam linguist who corrects you, in real time, is how you actually start speaking. One-to-one online lessons, 5 AM–11:30 PM IST.
