Hi All,

Wt wud u think abt the language education we were given at school both in terms of Sinhala and English languages ?

Aren't we better in our second language (English) than in the first (Sinhalese) ?
- If so, can we say something's seriously wrong somewhere in the system?
- If not, shud we say that English wil hav to be focused more in our education system?

I agree with u Chamith, yet don't u feel that we find it so difficult to express ourselves in Sinhalese most of the time? Despite being blessed with such a powerful, overwhelmingly rich language we've become slaves of a foreign language due to certain circumstances... PATHETIC !!!

The education system is crap. And we aren't better in English than our 1st language. And ya they should emphasize the importance of English. The education given about Sinhala language is fair enough (though most of them struggle with "sahithya" part)
And the bottom line of a language is that its a method of communication. So u can't really say that we have become slaves of the English.
