Tamil language classes in Singapore

Tamil has a classical literature and a modern, everyday voice in Singapore. Our classes pair the script with the spoken Tamil used in homes, shops and workplaces, so reading and conversation grow together. Group sizes stay small and the pace follows what the class actually needs.

Why Lingo

Trusted where the standard is highest.

Small groups of max. 8

Never more than eight students, so you speak in every lesson and your teacher hears every answer.

Official testing for MCCY & MFA officers

Lingo is an official test for MCCY and MFA officers. We take pride in the quality of our courses and assessments, and that expertise goes into every programme we deliver.

Who it is for

Learn Tamil for the reason you have.

Business professionals

Meetings, email and negotiation in the register colleagues really use, plus the Tamil for clients, suppliers and presentations.

Leisure travellers

Order, ask the way and hold a real conversation on your next trip, with the everyday Tamil that hotels, markets and taxis run on.

Language enthusiasts

Go past memorised phrases into the grammar behind them, so you can read, watch and follow the culture in Tamil rather than a translation.

How you will learn

A small class, a real conversation.

Small enough that you speak in every lesson.
