As a beginner, it's really not helpful to only show the words in an alphabet that I don't yet understand so that I don't have a written aid to decipher the fast-talking example, especially with the longer words of several syllables spoken at break-neck speeds. Also, I'm pretty sure the Pronounciation Analysis is not a real feature, because it just seems to increase slightly each pass regardless of whether I'm actually attempting to say the word or I'm just swearing at the app in English.

Hi Steve, thanks for your feedback. I only have limited space to respond here, so I'll be brief. The focus of the app is learning to speak and understand spoken SInhala, so you can safely ignore the text if that's your goal. Phonetic text is available in each lesson. The app has a way to slow down speech (tap on "1.0 X").

Everything requires pay. You always expect extra add-ons for free apps, but opened this one, clicked on 'core vocabulary' and only 'agriculture' could be accessed. Everything else- colours, numbers, animals etc etc- require money.

Dear Katie Bish, actually, there are three free Daily Lessons in Sinhala offered each day of the year. There are also free sample lessons in each of the main language-learning levels. For a casual learner, the daily lessons and the sample lessons generally suffice. More motivated learners are best off with the subscription plan, which is affordable

Was excited to find this app but disappointed. The words show in the Sinhala letters so there is no way of getting close to the pronunciation. It would be much better to give a phonetic guide. Unless one was familiar with the Sinhala alphabet, there is zero hope of getting anywhere with learning to speak it.

Thanks for your feedback! The best advice I have is to simply use this app as it was intended: an audio method of instruction that focuses on teaching you to *speak*, and to *understand*, spoken Sinhala. You can simply disregard the alphabet if you want to learn to speak the language. The alphabet itself is easily learned in many other places.
