A Tamil-language coursebook written for Sinhala speakers, compiled by N.D. Peiris and published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. It is aimed at beginners who want to learn Tamil and at school students working through the language, and it forms part of a graded series of Tamil-learning books from the same publisher.
The material is arranged for steady, ordered progress, with self-study in mind: a learner working alone, without a teacher at hand, can follow the sequence as it is set out. That emphasis on independent study shapes how the book is organised.
Buyers ordering from outside Sri Lanka should note the language. The book is written in Sinhala and Tamil, with Sinhala as the language of instruction and explanation. There is no English in it. It will be usable only by someone who reads Sinhala and wants to acquire Tamil through it — most often a Sri Lankan household, a student in the school system, or a reader abroad maintaining both languages. For anyone approaching Tamil from English, this is not the right book.
For those it is written for, it is a plain, practical teaching text of the kind long associated with M. D. Gunasena, an established Colombo publisher issuing books in Sinhala and English.
