Hello learners and teachers! Do you want to learn the Sinhala language, the beautiful language of Sri Lanka? I’m here to help you learn my native language in an interesting way to make you speak the language faster in a more natural way!
Understanding concepts of languages has always been interesting to me and I learn languages as a hobby. So there is a good chance that I understand what you're going through as a language learner.
Even though I did my bachelor's in IT and used to be a Web developer, I changed my career to online teaching and online content creating because I wanted to have a career that I can enjoy, and I very much enjoy teaching.

Öğretmen Olarak Ben
I've been teaching Sinhala as a foreign language since 2018, started teaching Sinhala on italki in 2021, and currently I'm also teaching Sinhala (as a foreign language) at an online language academy with my own syllabus and now I'm a full time Sinhala as a foreign language teacher.
I have finished 2 basic linguistics courses and I have the basic understanding of 7+ languages. I am also a TESOL certified English teacher but now I focus more on teaching the Sinhala language as a foreign language.
I always try to understand how to learn languages faster and more efficiently and I have made a course to learn spoken Sinhala by understanding the language, vocabulary and grammar.
Derslerim ve öğretme tarzım
My methods of teaching are friendly and relaxed and I want you to enjoy the class.
In the structured courses, you will learn how to construct your own sentences using correct grammar and the best choice of words and to understand native speakers and the culture with an immersive experience.
The intensity of the class and the immersion level will change depending on your capacity.
If you want to request lessons according to your needs, you can have unstructured lessons.
You will have access to all the materials with some extra resources after the class.

I could not say enough great things about Shani. I have just finished the first five basic Sinhala lessons with her. She has youtube videos, flashcards, quizzes, slides, resource sheets and more with her lessons. Her classes are more comprehensive and better structured than university classes that I took for language learning. She is a brilliant teacher who can always find a way to explain grammar and vocabulary in a way that is easy to understand. She makes sure you understand concepts by giving you an opportunity to come up with your own examples of sentences relating the grammar points. I am so happy with the amount of Sinhala I have been able to learn in a short time. Every week I look forward to my Sinhala classes. Shani is also very patient and kind, making class a joy to attend. :)

5 star instructor!! 👏🏻I’ve been studying with Shani for almost 2 months now and the growth she has helped me achieve amazes me.
She’s professional, very knowledgeable, and polite. Her classes are incredibly structured so I always know what I’m going to be learning prior to each class and during class Shani is very communicative about expectations for each lesson.
Two Things I really appreciate about her classes is one, she offers extra materials to help you study outside of class as well, which helps me since I don’t always know where to begin with studying on my own, and secondly, during class she makes an effort from Day 1 to speak mostly Sinhala to you. As someone who doesn’t always hear Sinhala spoken in everyday life, I really appreciate this as I’ve become more comfortable with hearing and understanding the language as it’s spoken in conversation.
If you’re looking around for an effective well-trained Sinhala instructor, look no further! 5 stars!!

Shani is amazing, I can not recommend her enough! I’ve only done a few (9) Sinhala classes with her so far, but I am very impressed and will continue the lessons. The lessons (PowerPoint) are perfectly structured and well thought out! Because of this, you’re really expanding your knowledge every class and can see your Sinhala improving. Before classes with Shani I didn’t think I would ever be able to make a sentence ON MY OWN (so not repeating a weirdly phrased sentence from the Lonely Planet 😂) or to make myself understood in Sinhala before, but now I am starting to believe maybe I can! ♥️ I also love how pragmatic Shani is. She will explain the difference between an official word and the way it is used/pronounced in every day life, so you will sound much more natural when you speak AND be able to understand the local community a lot better. Again: i fully recommend taking her classes! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
(If you are reading this Shani: thank you so much for everything and see you next class!)

Just taking a couple tourist lessons to help me try and communicate with locals in a friendly way when I travel to Sri Lanka. Super helpful first lesson, Ms Shani has a lot of resources to help her students as well! Look forward to more practice :)

Another great lesson with Shani! Today she helped me learn some common greetings so that I can adjust to life in Sri Lanka. She also explained important cultural aspects to me, which are useful for the future.

I highly recommend Shani. She is organised, passionate and tailors lessons according to your needs. I feel well supported with her structured powerpoints and resources online. I look forward to continuing my lessons with her :)
