Malayalam is the language of Kerala, South India. The material is presented as 42 lessons with worksheets and answer key. The authors, who were language teachers in Africa and in the US for over 25 years, have made use of contemporary knowledge of linguistics and easy-to-follow and effective teaching methods. This guide may be used by all those who want to learn Malayalam, such as the children of Keralites who live abroad, and those who come to Kerala for studies and for employment. A reviewer, kirinjin, wrote: What a concept: a language instruction book which actually understands both languages and presents both clearly and methodically. The book contains 42 (six weeks' worth) manageable lessons, each followed by a "worksheet" or mini-quiz covering the material in that day's presentation. Another reviewer, Solimar, wrote: I think it's a very good book and it explains very well what Malayalam language is and how it can be learned. I was amazed by learning that Malayalam is easier than it might seems, the authors explain very well the difference between English and Malayalam languages, giving you the taste that it can be easily learned and actually that it's easier to learn it than English language (I'm Spanish and Italian speaker then English is my third language) iArtichokeu wrote: When it comes to learning Malayalam, there aren't many resources to learn from in English. When I was searching for a book on desertcart, I could hardly find anything. This book however, fit what I needed. It provides tons of information and a worksheet at the end of the chapters, which is a bonus. This book will help you guide your way into Malayalam, and is one of the best starting points. A reviewer, Frax, wrote: The authors don't provide IPA pronunciations that could help linguists, and even worse, they don't provide clear and concise explanations of pronunciation. Moreover, he makes a harsh judgment: The authors simply don't know how to teach a language. This reviewer seems to have some basic knowledge of Linguistics, and he is probably a language teacher at the university level. This book is meant for common people who are not linguists. There are a large number of Malayalam speaking people in USA and Europe who need some learning materials for their children to gain some elementary knowledge of Malayalam. This book is primarily meant for them. As the title says, it offers only 'basic' Malayalam, by which we mean just a few baby steps. He probably bought this book expecting it to provide a detailed linguistic description of Malayalam, but unfortunately, this book is not what he thought. We can understand his frustration. We don't claim that we are the best language teachers, but many learners have found this book useful, and people are still buying this book. In our understanding, a teacher is someone who helps a learner to learn a language. That is what we do in this book. We help the learners to take a few baby steps. We help them realize that learning Malayalam is easier than how it looks like. We introduce simple letters first, and move on to the more complex ones. We give them a feel of how the sounds are similar to and different from the sounds in English. We don't frighten away the learners with complex linguistic or phonetic terminology or concepts. We haven't given the IPA pronunciations simply because this book is not for linguists or for advanced learners. An advanced learner like this reviewer doesn't need a book like this. Review: One of the best places to start! - When it comes to learning Malayalam, there aren't many resources to learn from in English. When I was searching for a book on desertcart, I could hardly find anything. This book however, fit what I needed. It provides tons of information and a worksheet at the end of the chapters, which is a bonus. There were a few minor text mistakes throughout the book. When it comes to learning a new language, even the minor of mistakes can turn into big ones. These were so minor though, that it didn't make much of a difference. Malayalam is a very tough language to learn, let me tell you that. But I found it to be fun. Also, if you are planning to learn the language from just this book alone, do not attempt it. This book serves as a guide. It also states in this book that you should find a native Malayalam speaker to help you pronounce words. What I highly suggest is to look for apps on your phone. HelloTalk was my main source. Having someone teach you via voice is extremely helpful, and needed. I would also like to include one very important fact while learning this language. You will meet MANY Keralites (Malayalam speakers) wanting to learn English. They have very little people wanting to learn their language and they are always looking for native English speakers to help them with English. I had many Keralites tell me that they have met no one online willing to help them with English. So this is your chance to change that! This book will help you guide your way into Malayalam, and is one of the best starting points. Review: At last a quality Malayalam primer. - What a concept: a language instruction book which actually understands both languages and presents both clearly and methodically. I've only just started, but I can already see the quality and benefit, particularly when compared with "Learn Malayalam in 30 Days Through English" (reviewed separately). The book contains 42 (six weeks' worth) manageable lessons, each followed by a "worksheet" or mini-quiz covering the material in that day's presentation. I would have preferred that the worksheets scrambled the order of the items instead of presenting exactly as on the preceding page(s), for a more difficult and therefore more thorough learning experience. That's a minor quibble. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #314,499 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #185 in Introductory & Beginning Programming | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 90 Reviews | ## Images ![Learn Basic Malayalam In Six Weeks: With Daily Worksheets & Answer Key - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aouVUoNAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best places to start! *by R***T on July 7, 2017* When it comes to learning Malayalam, there aren't many resources to learn from in English.

However, some pronounciations are not clearly explained, some might even be wrong as I pointed out by my native friends. It’s a great start if it’s a first book, but it probably won’t be enough to do basic communication and reading. ## Frequently Bought Together - Learn Basic Malayalam In Six Weeks: With Daily Worksheets & Answer Key - Malayalam Alphabet: Practice Workbook - Speak Malayalam in Ten Weeks --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/17130695-learn-basic-malayalam-in-six-weeks-with-daily-worksheets-answer](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/17130695-learn-basic-malayalam-in-six-weeks-with-daily-worksheets-answer) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
