These terms cover your account, how the lessons and audio may be used, how progress and the leaderboard work, and what you can expect from us.
Learn Tamil is operated by the Tamil Scholar Initiative, part of Coucal Global. By creating an account or using the app you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
You must be at least 13 years old to use Learn Tamil. If you are under the age of majority where you live, use the app only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.
Learn Tamil teaches Tamil reading and writing through a fixed path of lessons drawn from the Thamizham workbook, with pronunciation audio, on-screen writing practice, printable worksheets, reading practice and self-tests.
The course is provided for personal education. It is not a formal qualification, and completing it does not certify any level of proficiency.
The lessons, the printed worksheets, the pronunciation audio, the written explanations and the design of the app belong to the Tamil Scholar Initiative or are used with permission. You may print worksheets for your own study, and use the lessons in a classroom you teach, provided you do not charge for the material or present it as your own.
You may not copy, republish, resell or redistribute the course or the audio, or use them to build another product or training dataset, without our written permission.
Please use the app as it is meant to be used. You agree not to:
Experience points, streaks and badges are awarded automatically to record your own practice, and a lesson credits points once per day. They are a learning aid with no monetary value, cannot be transferred or exchanged, and may be reset or adjusted if we detect abuse, if a scoring fault is corrected, or if the curriculum changes.
The leaderboard is a shared, visible board: other signed-in learners see a shortened form of your name with your experience and streak. You can delete your account if you no longer wish to appear on it.
We aim to keep Learn Tamil available, but the service may be interrupted for maintenance, updates or reasons outside our control. We may add, change or retire lessons and features, and we may suspend or end the service, with notice on this site where it is practical to give it.
The app runs on Base44, which provides hosting, storage, authentication and speech generation, and it can use a Google account for sign-in. Those services have their own terms, and we are not responsible for their operation. Our Privacy Policy explains what is shared with them.
The course is provided "as is" and "as available". We work carefully on the curriculum, but we do not warrant that the lessons are free of errors, that the audio will always play, or that using the app will result in any particular level of fluency. To the extent the law allows, we exclude implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
To the extent permitted by law, the Tamil Scholar Initiative and Coucal Global are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, or for lost data, lost progress or lost opportunity, arising from your use of or inability to use the app.
Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, including for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. If a mandatory law in your country gives you stronger rights as a consumer, those rights are not affected.
We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms, that is used to abuse the service or other learners, or where we are required to do so by law. Where it is reasonable, we will tell you why and how to ask us to review the decision.
These terms are governed by the laws applicable where the operator of Learn Tamil is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled by the courts competent there, unless the mandatory consumer law of your own country gives you the right to bring the matter locally.
We may update these terms as the service develops. The date at the top shows the current version, and significant changes will be announced in the app before they take effect. Continuing to use Learn Tamil after an update means you accept the revised terms.
