aside from just conversing with someone else in Tamil. I’d say my Tamil is fairly decent, and I can text in Tamil just fine with both formal and casual Tamil, but speaking has been hard. ik what I want to say, but it comes out very stilted and awkward, like I can’t get my mouth around the words properly. the only thing that has worked for me so far is singing along to Tamil songs with very casual Tanglish lyrics (Golden Sparrow, for example, works well), and then practicing a fake convo with myself right after. the words flow more naturally, and the emotion I want to convey is also there, and I sound like a native speaker. are there any other exercises or specific things y’all did to improve pronunciation?
