Speak Malayalam in Ten Weeks Lissy John

Speak Malayalam in Ten Weeks is a new book by John D. Kunnathu & Lissy John. This book helps the speakers of English to gain the basic skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing Malayalam. This book was created as a second part to their earlier work, "Learn Basic Malayalam in Six weeks", which was found helpful by hundreds of people in the US and Europe. This book has ten lessons, which are built around ten children's songs, which have been sung by Yesudas, the well-known singer. The songs are based on the traditional popular animal fables. Thus the learners have the opportunity to learn Malayalam as presented through the voice of Yesudas. By the end of the ten lessons, a learner will be able to listen and understand Malayalam. The learner will also gain the ability to speak Malayalam. Our first book focused on the skills of reading and writing, but this one focuses on listening and speaking. This book makes use of the contemporary knowledge of the language and the contemporary ways of learning. Someone with a basic knowledge of the writing system of Malayalam can easily follow this book, and rise to a higher level. A reviewer, Andre Pleasant, wrote: Great helper for learning a new language. Wonderful book! Another reviewer, Reba M, wrote: This book was a very thorough and helpful tool in helping me to learn how to speak Malayalam!
