அனைவருக்கும் இனிய தை பொங்கல் வாழ்த்துக்கள். :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah:


தைப்பொங்கல் தை 1 அன்று தமிழர்களால் சிறப்பாக கொண்டாடப்படும் ஒரு தனிப்பெரும் விழா. தமிழர் திருநாளாக தமிழ்நாடு, இலங்கை, மலேசியா, சிங்கப்பூர், ஐரோப்பிய நாடுகள், வட அமெரிக்கா, தென் ஆப்பிரிக்கா, மொரிசியசு என தமிழர் வாழும் அனைத்து நாடுகளிலும் கொண்டாடப்படுகிறது. இவ்விழா சமயங்கள் கடந்து அனேக தமிழர்களால் கொண்டாடப்படுகிறது. பொங்கல், உழைக்கும் மக்கள் இயற்கைக்கும், மற்ற உயிர்களுக்கும் சொல்லும் ஒரு நன்றியறிதலாக கொண்டாடப்படுகிறது.

Would appreciate it if parents with children taking Tamil as MTL in primary school can share their experiences here.


Thank you :please:

I don’t speak, read and write Tamil and neither does my husband. We picked Tamil as MTL for our children because it’s my mother tongue.


Anyone else in the same situation?

Hi,

Yes I'm faced with the same problem. My hubby is big on Tamil but not me however his passion for Tamil is not rubbing off well on both my gals!!

For now my older gal is in P2 so its still very much holistic so I'm really worried when she goes to P3...keeping my fingers cross :xedfingers:

Dear Sun_2010,

At least you can speak Tamil! My husband and I can’t speak, read and write it. We tell teachers that, but their only advice is that at least one of us must speak Tamil to the kids so that they will pick it up eventually.

How old is your child ? Is he/she good in languages, that will help a lot.
Otherwise ,oh boy, you face an uphill task.

I have sent you a pm .
