French Lessons
പാഠങ്ങൾ
Lesson 1
Greetings & Formality
അഭിവാദനങ്ങളും മര്യാദയും
French splits 'you' into tu (informal) and vous (formal) — the same instinct Malayalam speakers already have with the nee/ningal distinction.
Lesson 2
Numbers 1–10
സംഖ്യകൾ 1–10
Malayalam numbers stay transparent well past ten. French breaks that transparency earlier than you'd expect, so it's worth flagging now.
Lesson 3
Family
കുടുംബം
French nouns carry grammatical gender — but only two, not three. For people, French le/la lines up with the same instinct behind Malayalam's gendered pronouns.
Lesson 4
Sentence Structure
വാക്യഘടന
French doesn't bend toward Malayalam's word order — it's worth knowing upfront where French and Malayalam genuinely part ways.
