Malayalam for kids, in your family’s voice

For families from Kerala raising children who will grow up speaking another language at school. Maata teaches the Malayalam your family uses at home — and your child hears it from you, their grandparents and the people they love.

Little talks in Malayalam

Short two-person conversations. Your child listens first, then says their part while a family voice answers.

Ammoomma calls — Ammoomma calls you on the phone.
What's your name? — Appooppan's friend meets you.
At the table — Amma is serving dinner.
Let's play — Chettan wants to play.
What happened? — You fell down. Achchan runs over.
Bedtime — It's late, and Amma says it's time for bed.
Can I help? — Achchan is carrying the shopping in.
School morning — Amma wakes you up for school.
