Talk Like Paatti

Teach your child Tamil, in your family's voices

Talk Like Paatti is a free app for parents who want to teach their children to speak Tamil. Sit together for a few minutes a day: Paatti, a cheerful Tamil grandma, teaches a few words with pictures, sounds, songs and games.

Made for second-generation Tamil families. If you grew up speaking more English than Tamil, learn right alongside your child, so you can both talk Tamil with Paatti, Thaathaa and the whole family, at home, on visits and on video calls.

Best of all, your child learns in your family's own voices. Record words and songs as Amma, Appa, Paatti, Thaathaa or anyone who loves them, and the app plays your recordings in every lesson.
