The main objective of this thesis is to create a web based learning tool that enables Tamil Language learning without learning the Tamil script. The goal is accomplished by using English script for teaching Tamil. A web interface is provided for teachers to upload and maintain lessons that could contain text, audio or video. There is a reverse transliterator which converts any Tamil text to its English phonetic equivalent enabling users to read any Tamil content. An English to Tamil translation dictionary provides a huge database of translated words in the English phonetic form, along with an option for the users to add and approve words. Additionally the dictionary search function searches and displays words from the web. The online networking feature provided by the tool enables users to network with other native or non-native users.
