Malayalam Alphabet: Practice Workbook

The book is a series of pages on which you can practice writing the Malayalam script. Directions for how to form the symbol are given at the top of the page, and the symbols are printed below in horizontal rows. The reader traces over each symbol to practice writing it, and each line shows smaller copies of the symbol to use as your writing improves. It is helpful to learn the alphabet in the first place, and a useful practice in writing thereafter. I can recommend it especially for new students of Malayalam.

This helps me learn how to draw the letters and where to start. Great workbook for me to learn!

Malayalam Alphabet Practice Workbook by John Kunnathu and Lissy John is very well organized with mainly English speaking people/kids in mind. Equivalent English sound for all vowels and consonants with a practice page is given for each letter. To help beginners, arrows are shown in the direction in which each letter is written. It also covers stressed consonants, consonant combinations, short form of consonants and consonants without a vowel. The book ends with some common words and sentences which also give a short history of the Malayalam language. The book provides a plan to learn the language in 6 weeks. The Kunnathu’s experience as educators is very well displayed in the structure and the content of the book. I highly recommend this book for all beginners.

This is a very practical book for my 5 year old. She can relate to the English letter comparison. So far she has no issues sitting down and learning the Malayalam letters.

The book doesn't have a sequence. Either the printer got it wrong because of it being a different language or the author wasn't familiar. Some alphabets are also missing.
