How it works

Four steps for every Sinhala sentence

One loop you repeat on every sentence, ending with you speaking Sinhala out loud.

  1. Step 1

    Order

    See a Sinhala sentence and rebuild it in English from a bank of words.

  2. Step 2

    Translate

    See the English and build the sentence in Sinhala, word by word.

  3. Step 3

    Listen

    Hear the sentence spoken in Sinhala, then type what you understood.

  4. Step 4

    Speak

    Say it out loud in Sinhala and see which words landed and which to try again.

Speaking Sinhala

Why speak Sinhala from day one

The sounds, rhythm and word order of Sinhala stick when you produce them, not when you recognise them. Each sentence you say out loud gets you closer to the way a real Sinhala speaker talks, and the speaking step shows you which words you landed.

Sinhala is written in the Sinhala script. You hear and say each sentence while you learn to read it, so the writing system is never a wall in front of speaking.

Sinhala questions, answered

Can I learn Sinhala for free with 4ToSpeak?

Yes. The free plan needs no card and has no time limit. You get 25 daily energy, about 3 to 4 full lessons a day, and the whole module store is open to you (some modules cost coins you earn by practising).

How does 4ToSpeak teach Sinhala speaking?

Every Sinhala sentence goes through four steps: you order it, translate it, listen and type it, then say it out loud. The last step is the point. You hear how close you were, word by word, instead of tapping an answer.

Do I need a microphone to practise Sinhala?

Yes, for the speaking step. Your browser asks permission the first time, and it works on a phone, a tablet or a computer. The other three steps work without one.

Do I need to know any Sinhala already?

No. Lessons start from short everyday Sinhala sentences and build up, so you can begin from nothing.

What script does Sinhala use?

Sinhala is written in the Sinhala script. You do not have to master it before you start. You hear and say each sentence while you learn to read it.
