voice uploading might not work as we are hoping to speak in realtime with each other. You will need a platform which facilitate that .. Skype or discord will be appropriate. But discord has more functions.

yes But when your are speaking with a person in real time there is no time to think in sinhala and translate it into english.. So you have to learn to think in English ..Thats the hardest part.
