As I listen to some of my Tamil favourites, I just cannot restrain myself from learning those sweet melodies. But learning a song was never so difficult, time taking and most importantly technology dependant before. The reason is nothing but the fact that the songs are in Tamil!
Here are the steps that I have to follow in order to learn a song -
1. Log in to internet and get the lyrics of the particular song transliterated in English.
2. Get a print out.
3. Rewrite the entire song in own handwriting. This is very important step I need to take in
order to pronounce the words properly. Because I strongly believe that Tamil words are the most deceiving elements in the world; they simply are not pronounced the way they look.
4. Start learning.
Apparently, these four steps don't seem to be very difficult. But what if I don't have a pc and printer with me? Getting the correct lyrics from just hearing the songs is almost impossible. So, suddenly in a lazy Sunday evening while listening to Anbe (Rhythm) if I wish to learn it, it just seems to be an impossible affair!!!
