Dr. Damodaran is one of the most humble, enthusiastic, and motivating mentors I have ever known. Though our interactions were limited to online due to the ongoing pandemic, the energy he brings to his Malayalam class sessions is tremendous. What clearly stands out in Dr. Damodaran as a Malayalam teacher, is the faith and confidence he has on his students. His sincerity is motivating – the way he customises the lessons, and the original reference material developed by him makes it a lot more easier for us to understand. Learning a new language is as it a challenging task, full of anxious moments. It is to Damodaran Sir’s credit that he mentored us with his patience, diligence, and encouragement. For both Malayalees and others who are keen to learn Malayalam, Damodaran sir is the mentor who can make the difference

I wanted to learn Malayalam and was enquiring about its classes everywhere. I got to know about Prof. Damodaran sir from my friend who is polyglot and she came as a savior. I was glad to be a part of Malayalam Elementary class followed by Advance class. With global pandemic hitting the world, initially I was little concerned if I will be able to manage to learn the language by online classes. But Prof. Damodaran has changed that thought completely. His structured teaching which well-planned and easy to follow study material was has helped me a lot to pick up the language and learn the basics. His efforts to go an extra mile and prepare customized notes which will help us to relate/ converse in our daily lives has been super helpful. I really liked the flexibility of the course and sir being very accommodative as it worked well with my busy office schedules. I enjoyed the teaching and enrolled for the advance class as well. This class has helped me to become self-reliant and read-write in Malayalam on my own. Sir’s technique of teaching has been always helpful and boosted the confidence in myself. This totally changed my perception that I won’t be able to learn this toughest Indian language to ‘Yes, I can read, write and speak in Malayalam’. I would definitely recommend Damodaran sir if anybody is looking forward to learn the language from the roots. Thank you sir for all your help and efforts as always.
