Introduction:

English is widely spoken in Sri Lanka, so if you visit Colombo and then stay in a beach resort hotel you will probably never need to speak Sinhala.

If, however, you would like to step away from the beaten tourist trail then a small knowledge of Sinhala will go a long way. People will be thrilled by your attempts to communicate in Sinhala and you are likely to have a far richer experience than if you stick to the main cities and beach areas.

This is, as far as I know, the only site of its kind on the Internet helping people learn spoken Sinhala. The lessons consist of grammar structures, functional language and vocabulary introduced in a clear context through a dialogue. What makes the site special though is the use of sound files so you can hear every new word and so be sure that you are getting your pronunciation just right!
