- கடந்த மாசம் ஒரு நிறுவனம் என்னை வேலைக்கு எடுத்திட்டினம். முதல் நாள் காலையில நான் வேலை ஒப்பந்தத்தில கையெழுத்து போட்டன். ஒப்பந்தத்தில என் பதவி, கடமைகள், சம்பளம், வேலை அட்டவணை எல்லாம் இருந்தது. சோதனைக் காலம் மூணு மாசம்; அதுக்குப் பிறகு சம்பளத்துடன் கூடிய லீவு கிடைக்கும். என் பிரிவில ஏழு ஊழியர். பத்து மணிக்கு ஒரு கூட்டம் இருந்தது, அங்கே ஒவ்வொருத்தரும் தங்கட பணியை சொன்னினம். எனக்கு முதல் அறிக்கைக்கு காலக்கெடு வெள்ளிக்கிழமை. கொஞ்சம் பயம், ஆனா வேலை பிடிச்சிருக்கு.kaḍanda māsam oru niṟuvaṉam eṉṉai vēlaikku eḍuttiṭṭiṉam. mudal nāḷ kālaiyila nāṉ vēlai oppandattila kaiyeḻuttu pōṭṭaṉ. oppandattila eṉ padavi, kaḍamaigaḷ, sambaḷam, vēlai aṭṭavaṇai ellām irundadu. sōdaṉaik kālam mūṇu māsam; adukkup piṟagu sambaḷattuḍaṉ kūḍiya līvu kiḍaikkum. eṉ pirivila ēḻu ūḻiyar. pattu maṇikku oru kūṭṭam irundadu, aṅgē ovvoruttarum taṅgaḍa paṇiyai soṉṉiṉam. eṉakku mudal aṟikkaikku kālakkeḍu veḷḷikkiḻamai. koñcam payam, āṉā vēlai piḍiccirukku.Last month a firm took me on. On the first day in the morning I signed the employment contract. In the contract were my position, duties, salary and work schedule. The probation period is three months; after it there will be paid vacation. In my department there are seven employees. At ten there was a meeting, where everyone spoke about their task. The deadline for my first report is Friday. It is a little frightening, but I like the work.

Frequently asked
What level do you need to read this text in Tamil?
B1. That means: everyday topics are behind you, you know about three thousand words, and an unknown word is more often guessed from the sentence than looked up.
How to read a text in an unfamiliar language usefully?
First all the way through without peeking at the translation — just to catch the familiar words. Then with the translation. Then all the way through again: the second pass brings noticeably more, and that feeling matters more than any rule.
