Malayalam
The University of Ghent does not offer courses in South Indian Languages, however when in need of a course in Malayalam, many other options are available. In time, the University of Ghent might offer Intensive Courses of a few days, however this is not possible at the moment. For people interested in studying this language I therefore offer a few tips.

Courses
The department of South Asian Studies (Indologie) at the University of Tübingen, Germany, offers yearly introductory courses of Malayalam. Assisted by a native speaker and an experienced Kerala specialist, the students learn the basics from Moag's textbook. The Malayalam IV Course in 2013 resulted in the enactment of a small play, written by the students. You can find last year's participants and the teacher, dr. Heike Moser (utter right), in the picture below.
