Practise Hausa with native speakers who want to learn Sinhala
Talkabout pairs people who help each other: they speak what you're learning and are learning what you speak. Free, in your browser, adults only.

About Hausa for Sinhala speakers
Hausa is written in the Latin alphabet; Sinhala uses the Sinhala script. Chatting in writing is a good way to get used to a new script, because you can take your time with every message.
How the exchange works
- Say what you speak and what you're learning. Talkabout shows you people who speak Hausa natively and are learning Sinhala.
- Write to someone. Take turns: some messages in Hausa, some in Sinhala, so you both get to practise.
- Fix each other's messages. Suggest a correction on any message and your partner sees exactly what changed. You choose how much you want corrected.
Safe by default
Talkabout is for adults only. Photos and contact details unlock only after you've both written to each other, nobody can flood your inbox, and favourites stay private unless you both choose each other.
You can block or report anyone from the chat. Everyone agrees to the community guidelines, and moderators tell you which rule was broken when they act on a report.
