Review summary

Nemo Sinhala is praised as an easy-to-use and helpful app for English speakers beginning to learn spoken Sinhala, featuring clear audio pronunciations and practical lessons. However, users note issues with some translations, lack of reading/writing guidance, app stability problems, and limited conversational practice. Despite these drawbacks, it serves as a solid free starting point for those looking to learn to speak Sinhala.

Pros

Easy to use and user-friendly interface, suitable for beginners.
Helpful for English speakers trying to learn spoken Sinhala with clear pronunciation.
Includes practical lessons and flashcards to aid learning and test knowledge.
Free content is comprehensive enough to start learning.
Audio pronunciation is accurate and beneficial.

Cons

Limited and sometimes inaccurate or confusing translations, such as 'goodbye' and 'welcome' being the same word.
Lack of a guide to reading and writing Sinhala script; focuses more on speaking than literacy.
App crashes when pressing the information button in free version.
Limited common conversational phrases and less engaging exercises compared to apps like Duolingo.
Words often presented out of context, making memorization and fluency practice difficult.

2024-01-06	da*****	It is a very helpful app for English speakers trying to learn Simhala. I am funding all if my words off of this app and it makes it easy to learn. I highly recommend this app for people looking for a free way to learn Sinhala.

2022-01-28	An*****	Easy words and phrases for the complete beginner to grasp. Test your knowledge with the flash cards and listen to the correct pronunciation of the word. I'm almost a complete beginner, having forgotten many of the words learnt as a child. Now older, wishing to connect with family in Sri Lanka, the app so far has assisted me. I like being able to hear how each word sounds. Frequent use of the app and repetition is key.

2021-02-05	Na*****	Negatives: Same word for goodbye and welcome, after an interent search welcome is the wrong word. Also no guide to helping being able to read Sinhala. Positives: For learning to speak Sinhala it is easy to understand with letterd version of word and hearibg it spoke. So far I am happy with this appp. As of yet I haven't paid for the full version as concentrating on mastering the free content. Overall I would reccomend, if you wanting to learn how to speak Sinhalese more than to read/write.

2020-12-19	G *****	Writing is incorrect and simified to avoid ligatures, words are tumbled individually out of context, which makes memorisation difficult. Not many common useful phrases to practise fluency. Disappointed with the upgraded paid version.

2020-04-14	A *****	The app is good for learning basic Sinhala! Would recommend! However whenever I press the information button, the app crashes and closes itself? Any ideas to why? (This is in the free version)
