Speak Sinhala / Sinhala Q and A
| I could speak Sinhala ! Scales drop from my eyes. |
| Q11 I came back to Japan via Bangkok today. I read your books all .I tried
to speak Sinhala and learn it by myself but it is difficult to understand
all. Even When I talk with the Sinhalese it is easy for me to speak English
instead of Sinhala . When I speak Sinhala, I translate my Japanese to English ,then from English to Sinhala .Of course , I used to into outrageous confusion at grammatical construction. But I do not care it. Now, I am reading your " Speak Sinhala " . What a fantastic method it is ! And it remind me the old Japanese which I've almost forgotten. It atract my interest too. I tried to speak some Sinhala words and phrases which you wrote on your book and the Sinhalese get it ! They really understand what I am speaking !. What a surprise! Scales drop from my eyes, (full moon) |
It's nice. Yeah, it's wonderful.
You speak with the Sinhalese in Sinhala and they can get your Sinhala speaking.
.Sinhala is interesting and easy ,isn't it ? After all ,you can speak Sinhala
through Japanese.
There is no difficult to memorize and speak Sinhala , since Sinhala is
one of the dialect of Japanese.
" Sinhala through Japanese " is the new method and very different
from former Sinhala teaching methods in Japan. Is it "revolutionary"
if it says?
When you speak Spoken Sinhala, you must remember Japanese archaic words.
Those must be not special words but ordinal archaic words learnt at high
scool of Japan. Many Japanese student think that the archaic Japanese is
useless in daily life ,but it is not true now. You can use those for Sinhala
speaking.. It make pleasant to speak Sinhala.
Many send me e-mails that it is amazement to make use of Japanese archaic
words for the conversation of modern Sinhala.
Former 2nd secretary of Sri Lanka embassy in Tokyo was surprised to know
that the some words those appear on Japanese crassic poetry named "
Man-nyo-syu "are the same as that of Sinhala words. One sinhala professor
of Ryukyu university said, "This book is interesting and show us deep
ideas"
Please learn Sinhala with my method.
Speak Sinhala through the old Japanese words.
