Telugu and Tamil are both Dravidian languages with shared vocabulary, similar sentence structures (Subject-Object-Verb), and common grammatical features like postpositions and agglutination. This makes Tamil relatively easier for Telugu speakers than for Hindi or English speakers. However, Tamil’s distinct phonetics (e.g., ‘ழ’, ‘ள’, ‘ற’), diglossia (spoken vs. written Tamil), and verb conjugations require focused effort. This 30-day plan bridges the two languages systematically. | Mistake | Telugu Habit | Tamil Correction

Your Goal (Day 1-3): Listen to 1 hour of Tamil music (Ilaiyaraaja or A.R. Rahman) without lyrics. Just get the rhythm into your ears.
