@sumudu So, does your daughter have a foreign accent?

@variablepulserate She does. Beside she cannot/doesn’t read, write or converse in native language

@sumudu Wow. I’m surprised. Did you not speak Sinhalese to her in the home? I bet she wishes she’d picked it up now.

@variablepulserate We have mostly been speaking to her Sinhalese at home though she has been responding in English all the time. She does understand what we say in Sinhala though

@variablepulserate Yes she does. That’s said just understanding won’t be of much help for her to adapt and pursue a meaningful career path here in Sri Lanka. We hope moving back here and start to live might help her to pick up the language if she makes an effort to do so…

@sumudu She’ll get there. It’s easier when you’re young and especially when you’re living it every day.
