The Sinhala 1 course is designed for beginners who want to gain a basic, practical knowledge of the spoken language, focusing on everyday situations - shopping, giving directions, introducing yourself, asking simple personal questions, etc.
The Sinhala scripts are introduced, partly as an aid to pronunciation since both languages are 'phonetic', but the main emphasis is on simple colloquial language.
Our 20-hour Sinhala 2 course is designed for anyone who has completed the beginners’ course, or who already has a basic knowledge of the spoken language.
Both courses will be taught by Michael Meyler, who has been teaching our popular Sinhala beginners' classes for the past 12 years.
This 20-hour course is designed for anyone who has completed the beginners' course or who already has a basic knowledge of spoken Sinhala. On completing this course you will be able to communicate more effectively in everyday situations: telephone conversations, taking a three-wheeler, talking about daily routines, etc. You will build up your vocabulary, learn to use different tenses (past, future, present perfect) and increase your knowledge of Sinhala script.
