Learning Tamil

I’m going to start by building up some context.

I’m a half Tamil teenager living in the UK, who unfortunately has no cultural links to my Tamil side. By this I mean that I don’t know the language, any of the culture/customs or any of the history.

It would be my absolute dream to learn Tamil and reconnect with my people. I feel like I am missing a huge part of myself.

However, the problem is that I don’t know where to begin - where does one learn Tamil? I want to be fluent and I don’t want to avoid the topic of my culture anytime anyone asks, simply because I don’t know anything about it.

Can anyone give me any tips on how to get started?
