My ammachi taught me my ABCs and also tried to teach me the Malayalam alphabet. At some point the latter teachings were derailed and of course, there are very hard to find any formal classes. I had recently purchased a set of flash cards, but because they didn’t feature the English phonetic writing of each word, it was hard to get good use of them. Then I saw this pad on instagram and thought it could be perfect. I didn’t buy at first but when I saw an ad again a month later, I decided to take the plunge. From the moment I turned on the pad, I knew this would be my path to Malayalam literacy. The creators have thought of everything that one could need to master the basics and they’ve found a way to cram it ALL into the space of the pad. I already know that I can finally learn the writing of my mother tongue and I’m excited to send this to my cousin’s kids. This is a transformative educational tool, highly recommend.
