The videos and tiktok esk side makes it fun to hear my target language and I love how they (for Japanese) focus on kanji and the answer has the furigana.

I don’t ever leave reviews. Memrise provides natural speaking habits of your target language and works on listening skills in a way that no other app I’ve found does. I recently started Japanese and I can say that Memrise is great at all languages!

Is Sinhala difficult to learn for English speakers?
Sinhala is considered quite challenging for English speakers, broadly sitting in the Category III to IV range with an estimated 1,100 hours or more to reach professional proficiency. It uses the Sinhala script, a distinctive rounded alphabet derived from ancient Brahmi, with around 50 characters including several that represent sounds unfamiliar to English speakers — adding an early investment that typically takes several weeks to master. Grammar is verb-final, includes grammatical gender, and has a notable distinction between formal written Sinhala and colloquial spoken Sinhala that diverge significantly, meaning learners effectively need to navigate two registers. Vocabulary shares no roots with English, though some Portuguese, Dutch, and English loanwords exist from centuries of colonial contact. That said, the Sinhala script is phonetically consistent once learned, and the grammar follows regular rules throughout. Memrise structures Sinhala learning around high-frequency vocabulary and everyday phrases, helping learners get past the script quickly and build practical fluency progressively.
How long does it take to learn Sinhala?
Sinhala sits in the Category III to IV range, with an estimated 1,100 hours or more to reach professional proficiency — among the more demanding languages for English speakers. The Sinhala script adds an early investment, typically taking a few weeks to master, and the significant divergence between formal written Sinhala and colloquial spoken Sinhala means learners must invest in both registers to achieve true fluency. Verb-final grammar and grammatical gender take sustained effort to internalise, and vocabulary offers no shortcuts from English beyond occasional colonial-era loanwords. That said, the script is phonetically consistent once learned and the grammar follows regular rules throughout, which rewards patient, regular practice. Memrise focuses lessons on high-frequency vocabulary and everyday phrases, helping learners get past the script quickly and build practical fluency steadily through one of South Asia's most distinctive languages.
