Testimonials from Past Camps:
“i thought, why not, it doesn’t hurt to try… it was new, fun, and the teachers were excellent” – Myithily, Toronto
“… since the teachers were relatively young and learned Tamil as a second language themselves, I felt that I could relate to them more” – Ravi, Toronto
“When I came home from the camp, my parents were shocked at how much my tamil improved…Not only did I learn a vast amount at the camp, but I also met a lot of new people there. I had a ton of fun with everyone… ” – Kanya, Chicago
“By the end of Tamil camp, I knew what I was reading and writing, rather than just sounding out sounds…This Tamil camp was much more effective in teaching Tamil because it was taught the same way foreign languages are taught in school. Years of Tamil lessons from my mom only taught me Tamil characters and first grade vocabulary words.” – Gayathri, Atlanta
