Question

I am thinking to do a travel, to learn Tamil more deeply. Can you please give me tips on how to behave with a typical Indian person?

Community Answer

Somestimes Tamil-speakers can seem a bit rude, but there it's pretty normal. Feel free to yell at people younger than you, but never do so with elders, as that would be disrespectful. Try wearing some of the local clothing too, it will show effort of trying to fit in.
