Tikiri is a warm, playful companion for little ones exploring their first Sinhala words, for the families passing the language on and the curious travellers meeting it for the first time. Tikiri isn't a course and it won't promise fluency. Think of it as a friendly sidekick to keep Sinhala close and fun, something to enjoy alongside everything else that helps a little one meet the language. The words, letters, and phrases are spoken aloud by a native speaker, so little ones hear them the way they're really said. Start with the Flashcards: 238 words across 19 topics, from Animals and Food to Feelings, School and Space. Soft watercolor artwork on every card, and a slowed syllable-by-syllable version so little mouths can follow along. Fun facts about Sri Lanka tucked inside. Just tap the picture to hear it. Meet the Alphabet, the Sinhala hodiya letter by letter. Tap to hear each letter's sound, then its example word, with a picture to remember it by. Then try Sound Maker. A wheel of twelve vowel marks sits around a Sinhala letter, each mark in the place it really appears. Tap one and hear the letter change, with the pieces and the result shown side by side. Try the Quiz, a gentle "see and pick" picture game with stars to collect. And say the Phrases, everyday things like hellos, thank-yous, and "I love you," each one spoken aloud with a slower take on the next tap. On every card, you can show the meaning in a language you already know: English plus Tamil, Hindi, Russian, German, French, Chinese, Italian, Arabic, Spanish, Korean, and Japanese. The Sinhala stays the same, so anyone in the family can share it. Two age modes so it grows with your child. Little kid keeps things gentle. Big kid mode opens the full decks, the Quiz, the Phrases and Sound Maker, plus Big Numbers up to 1000 and the Geography sub-decks of Cities, Provinces, and Landmarks. No account. No internet needed. Free to download, with an optional tip that unlocks nothing and is never required. Made by a Sri Lankan dad, for every Sri Lankan child.
