Your native language (മലയാളം) quietly pushes you into specific Irish errors. Here are the ones to watch — and the fix for each. This is exactly how WordSlick coaches you, every day.
See my full report & start free →Malayalam gives possession to a dative person and Irish gives it to a preposition — same idea, and no have-verb in either language.
You can mark "a" with ഒരു, so learners hunt for an Irish equivalent. There is none — "leabhar" already means "a book", and only "an" exists.
Malayalam packs a whole clause into one long word; Irish spreads it over small ones — "Tá mé ag foghlaim Gaeilge" is four separate pieces. Break it up as you speak.
Malayalam is verb-final; Irish is verb-initial — "ഞാൻ ചായ കുടിക്കുന്നു" becomes "Ólaim tae".
Irish opens the sentence with the verb: "Ólaim tae" = I drink tea, "Itheann Seán arán" = Seán eats bread. Action, then who, then what.
tá describes a state or a place ("Tá mé tuirseach", "Tá mé sa bhaile"); is classifies or identifies ("Is dochtúir mé", "Is mise Seán"). "Tá mé dochtúir" is always wrong.
