Honestly speaking, it is exceedingly indispensable to be on familiar terms with a language for communication. In broad-spectrum, the trendiest language is English. In this computer age, English is the only language that any one can comprehend. So to say, it has become a perfect language for expressing our mind-set. First, we have to become skilled in the language and then we have to put on glibness. Unless we have the glibness in English language, it would not be possible to toil with the computer. If you do not know English, then you would be in need of a translator to do the job.
It's true that English in Sri Lanka is used less when compared to other Asian counties. There is no age limit for mastering a language.

As a foreigner I'm here for the past two years and learnt the local language to communicate by just listening to the colleagues and people around. When a foreigner can learn your language, why can't the Sri Lankan's learn the simplest language - English?

There are various sources through which people can learn English. Only will power is important. English is the need of the hour for Sri Lanka to progress and compete with the world. The research shows that school lessons are boring and students bunk classes and finally the results are nil.
And when they run around for a career that is the time they are aware of the value of the language. Still there are various sources through which they can learn English.
