It has been dozen years since the beginning of Tallahassee Tamil Sangam (TTS; Established in 2000). TTS has brought together Tamil (Tamizh) families from India, Malaysia, Singapore and Srilanka that live in and around Tallahassee for several evenings of cultural activities and exchanges. The activities are usually scheduled in January (Pongal and Kollam festival), April (Tamil New Year), July-August (summer picnic), and October (Deepavali).
Between 2004 and 2006 Drs. Usha and Namas Chandra taught weekly Tamil classes. However, since then we have been unable to start a Tamil class due to my involvement with India Association of Tallahassee (as General Secretary and President 2007-2010) and with Asian Coalition of Tallahassee (as Director of Media, and Chair-Elect 2007-2012). I intend to start offering free Tamil classes to those interested in learning the language soon.
As a precursor to those classes I have prepared some Tamil lessons. The free Tamil lessons are posted on my tamil.somasundaram.us website. Shown below is the table of what those Tamil lessons describe:
