Description
Malayalam is the state language of Kerala which is listed among the world’s fifty greatest places of a lifetime in a National Geographic Society publication. Kochi (Cochin), the major port of Kerala, is called the Queen of the Arabian Sea. Kalady is the birthplace of Shankaracharya. The pantomime dance drama Kathakali performed by men, the dance of the enchantress Mohiniyattam performed by the women and Thullal, the sole dance exposition, are the well known dance forms of Kerala.
Would we not like to visit this beautiful state? A visit to Kerala without knowing Malayalam would be unrewarding, non-informative and a dull affair.
With Readwell’s book learn Malayalam with ease and within a brief period. It is primarily written for the beginners. Knowing alphabet, leaning words and their pronunciation, sentence construction and their rules are what a beginner needs. This book is an easy and quick method of learning to speak and learning to write Malayalam.
