LBSS 07: Your Age in Sinhala – Part (2/2) [AUDIO TUTORIAL]


Listen Later

This is Part 2 of the Audio Tutorial “Your Age in Sinhala”.

I recommend… no, actually, I’m telling you to go listen to Part 1 so that you don’t get lost in the middle of it.

In Part 2 we’ll look at:

  • How to ask someone their age in Sinhala
  • How to tell someone your age in Sinhala
  • And we’ll revise what we covered in both parts by going through a sample dialogue and some questions & answers.
