iTamilKids By LilGenius


  iTamilKids by LilGenius is a universal app that supports iPhone,iPad and iPod touch.  It is a Tamil app focussed at introducing the basics of Tamil to Kids. I have taken the Flash cards to next level and made it a little more interesting by including few games for kids.

  There is an interactive memory game that aims at sharpening their mental alertness and improving their concentration. Also there is a category that kids can use to practice writing Tamil alphabets.The writing category has features to select their pen in various colors,erase a portion of drawing or refresh the whole screen to start fresh etc. And the flashcards introduces over a 100  tamil words to kids and includes several categories like


·      Uyir Ezhuthukkal (12 vowels and 1 Ayutha ezhuthu)
·      Mei Ezhuthukkal (18 consonants)
·      UyirMei Ezhuthukkal (vowel+consonant  - The whole list of 216 uyirmei ezhuthukkal is not shown.Includes only the beginning letter of each category)
·      Engal(Numbers)
·      Palangal (Fruits)
·      Kaygarigal(Vegetables)
·      Kaatu Vilangugal(Wild animals)
·      Veetu Vilangugal(Domestic animals)
·      Nirangal(Colors)




       In short,iTamilKids uses modern technology to make learning Tamil a fun and exciting process. I hope your kids enjoy the process of learning a new language in the effort.


  Also my app got recommended by a tamil website thatstamil.com in one of their articles. Check out this link.
