Built specifically for Tamil speakers
Learn Korean through patterns you already know in Tamil.
Tamil and Korean often build sentences in familiar ways. Dari uses those connections to make Korean grammar easier to understand — then helps you practise Korean on its own terms.

A useful head start
See the pattern your brain already knows.
English usually puts the verb in the middle. Tamil and Korean commonly place it at the end. That familiar planning pattern can make some Korean sentences easier to grasp.
A bridge is a starting point — not a word-for-word translation rule. Dari also shows where Korean works differently so familiar patterns do not become mistakes.

“I ate an apple.” Both languages put the verb at the end, so the pieces land in the same order. Matching colours mean matching roles.
Where it stops: Not every construction aligns, and natural Korean still has its own rules.
Why this approach helps
Familiar ideas. Korean-specific practice.
Dari uses Tamil selectively: lead with a genuine connection, then practise the Korean form in real situations. Open any card for a sneak peek at what you'll be learning in the web course — the companion mobile app is still under development.
01The verb comes lastKorean basic sentences are planned in an order Tamil speakers already use.
English puts the verb in the middle. Tamil and Korean commonly place it at the end, so a Tamil speaker can often keep the order they already think in instead of rebuilding the sentence.
Tamil
நான் ஆப்பிளை சாப்பிட்டேன்
Naan aappilai saappitten
Korean
나는 사과를 먹었어요
Naneun sagwareul meogeosseoyo
I ate an apple.
02Markers come after the nounBoth languages put the role marker after the word, not before it.
English marks roles with prepositions placed before the noun. Korean particles and Tamil case suffixes both attach after it, so the habit of looking at the end of a word for its role already transfers.
Tamil
நான் நண்பனுக்கு ஆப்பிளை கொடுக்கிறேன்
Naan nanbanukku aappilai kodukkiraen
Korean
나는 친구에게 사과를 줘요
Naneun chingu-ege sagwa-reul jweoyo
I give an apple to a friend.
03Meaning is built onto the verbTense and politeness attach to the end of the verb rather than needing helper words.
Neither language leans on separate words the way English uses "will" or "am". Both build a predicate from a stem plus endings, so the habit of reading the end of a verb for its tense already transfers.
Tamil
இப்போது இசை கேட்கிறேன்
Ippodu isai kaetkiraen
Korean
지금 음악을 들어요
Jigeum eumak-eul deureyo
I listen to music now.
04The describing clause comes before the nounNo equivalent of "who", "which" or "that" is needed in either language.
English joins a describing clause with a relative pronoun. Korean, like Tamil, has no such pronouns — the verb simply comes before the noun and changes form.
Tamil
நூலகத்திற்கு போகிற நண்பனை சந்திக்கிறேன்
Noolagattirikku pogira nanbanai santhikkiraen
Korean
도서관에 가는 친구를 만나요
Doseogwan-e ganeun chingu-reul mannayo
I meet the friend who is going to the library.
05Ongoing actions add a continuing pieceBoth languages express "in the middle of doing" by extending the verb.
Korean -고 있어요 and the Tamil progressive both build an ongoing reading by adding a continuing element to the verb, rather than by changing the shape of the sentence.
Tamil
படம் பார்த்துக்கொண்டிருக்கிறேன்
Padam paarcttu kondu irukkiraen
Korean
영화를 보고 있어요
Yeonghwa-reul bogo isseoyo
I am watching a film.
06Place is marked on the place wordWhere something happens is shown by a marker on the location, as in Tamil.
Korean marks the place an action happens with 에서 attached to the location, much as Tamil attaches -இல். In both languages the marker sits on the place word itself.

The wider Dari vision
Korean through Tamil is only the beginning.
Dari is exploring language courses built around the languages learners already know. Korean for Tamil speakers comes first. Early learners can help decide what should come next.

Questions
A bridge, not a shortcut around learning.
Is Dari taught entirely in Tamil?
No. The approach uses clear English teaching, optional Tamil examples and Korean-first practice. Tamil provides a useful bridge where the comparison is genuine.
Are Tamil and Korean related languages?
Dari does not claim that they are genetically related. Some structures provide useful points of comparison, but similarities do not make the languages interchangeable.
Is the mobile app available now?
It is planned and under development. Join the pilot to hear when early web lessons and mobile testing become available.
Will Dari offer Hindi and other language pairs?
Those possibilities are being explored. The first focused course is Korean for Tamil speakers, and early learners will be invited to vote on future directions.
