Conversation did not sound like the written form.

Everyday spoken Sinhala differs in important ways from formal written Sinhala. A clear setting helps you practise the variety you will actually use in conversation.

Build around spoken verb forms and particles first, while noting formal alternatives when they are useful for reading or respectful situations.

Tell Chicky where to start

Help me practise everyday spoken Sinhala during a visit to someone's home. Point out formal written forms only when the difference is useful.

Change the scene, the level or the correction focus whenever you want. The tutor follows the new brief.

Give your Sinhala a real situation.

Choose a scene you may actually meet this week. A real situation gives you words you can reuse.

  1. 01Greet a host and accept a drink
  2. 02Ask for a destination on public transport
  3. 03Buy something and check the price
  4. 04Tell a colleague why you need more time

Fix the sentence while it is still fresh.

You hear the better sentence while your own answer is still fresh, then use it again.

  1. Answer

    Say what you can, even when the sentence is not finished.

  2. Repair

    Ask for help or get one focused correction on the useful part.

  3. Continue

    Say the better sentence, then take the next turn.
