This girl wants to learn TB Tamil dialect just so she can converse with the boy's side of people from India. She is serious and wanted to know how to learn Tamil well.
There are Youtube videos to learn Tamil but I am not sure they will be effective.
Is it easy to learn a language as an adult and become good at it? How does one learn TB dialect without being immersed in a TB household that is speaking Tamil all the time.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

please advise the girl to associate with, connect with and relate with tb people towards this objective.
any language/dialect could be developed only by hearing more of it first and then by speaking it.
this essentially requires mingling with people who speak the language/dialect.
this would help better than cyber space methods.
