Tamil is probably the oldest living language on the planet Earth. My mother tongue is Tamil. I studied in a Tamil medium until the advanced level. However, I still make spelling mistakes, and I tend to make mistakes when I read. I thought that while I learn other languages, I would try to improve my mother tongue to the highest level possible. I cannot type Tamil comfortably on computer keyboards, so I would take this opportunity to learn and type.
Having a solid competency in mother tongue can influence our thought process and creative as per some article I read. Do you own research and validate it.
Learning Tamil language can unlock many areas in science, medicine, and human civilization. I dedicate this learning to late Orissa Balu alias Siva Balasubramani, a researcher who put immense effort into uncovering many missing links in the Tamil Language History. Once I had the opportunity to meet him and take a photo with him.

Learning to type or write will give deep understanding and association to a language. The involvement and focus in writing are greater. You need attention to detail. I need to keep my cognitive ability at the highest level. So I thought to relearn my mother language by learning typing fluently. I learned writing with a pen. But now there is no application. The alternative to learning writing is typing. Check my learning strategy in the following post.
