Our story
An academy shaped around the people learning, and the lives they lead.
Akuru is a home for language programmes designed around specific learner communities. We begin with Pransha Akuru: French explained through Sinhala, connected to everyday life.
Akuru means “letters” in Sinhala. That reference carries through our identity: language starts with small things, and grows through use.
Both trading names are operated by the same French entrepreneur individuel. Legal operator information.
Akuru Language Academy and Pransha Akuru were founded by Prasanna Deshapriya Jasinghege Don.
About the academy and programme →Our philosophy
Every lesson begins with something a learner may need to say or understand.
Thoughtful comparisons make unfamiliar patterns clearer, while respecting both languages.
Small steps, repeated in context, connect understanding to everyday speech.
