தமிழோடு இணைவோம்!

While Duolingo focuses primarily on vocabulary and grammar drills, Discover Tamil is built specifically for Tamil with deep cultural immersion. We include Tamil Panchangam (calendar), Thirukkural with stories, classical literature, Tamil cinema & music, regional dialect support (spoken vs. written Tamil), and content designed for the diaspora reconnecting with their heritage.

Absolutely! We have content for ages 3-99. Beginners start with the Tamil alphabet (Uyir & Mei Ezhuthukkal), basic vocabulary through games, and progress gradually. Our AI tutor adapts to your level and provides personalized guidance.

Both! This is one of our key features. We teach formal written Tamil (எழுத்து தமிழ்) and everyday spoken Tamil (பேச்சு தமிழ்). You'll learn that "என்ன செய்கிறாய்?" becomes "என்ன பண்ற?" in casual conversation.

We have 10 games including Letter Tracing, Word Scramble, Match Pairs, Picture Quiz, Listen & Type, Speed Rounds, and more. All designed to make learning engaging and effective.

Our AI Tutor (powered by Google Gemini) provides conversational practice in Tamil, answers grammar questions, explains cultural concepts, and adapts to your learning style. It's like having a patient Tamil teacher available 24/7.

We cover Tamil Cinema (classic movies, dialogues), Music (Ilayaraja, AR Rahman compositions), Classical Literature (Sangam poetry, Thirukkural), Tamil Cuisine (recipes with Tamil terms), Temples & Heritage sites, Festivals & Traditions, and Tamil History through audio podcasts.

Yes! Discover Tamil is completely free. Our mission is to make Tamil learning accessible to everyone in the world. All features — games, lessons, culture content, podcasts, and more — are available at no cost.

Family features are coming in Q3 2026! Parents will be able to track children's progress and learn alongside their kids. Family profiles will allow multiple learners under one account.

iOS (iPhone/iPad) and Android launch Q2 2026, and the Web version launches Q3 2026. We're building native apps for the best experience on each platform.

Most learning content like lessons, games, and flashcards works offline once loaded. Audio pronunciations and AI tutor features require an internet connection.

Our content is AI-generated using industry-leading models like Google Gemini and Anthropic Claude, and aligned as closely as possible with Tamil Nadu State Board school curriculum and established literary sources. We continuously refine content based on community feedback and welcome corrections from native speakers.
