However in the present categorization, of languages the Hindi language is considered as an inanimate (death) language. Nevertheless this belief cannot be considered as accurate, because Hindi is a very popular language especially among Sri Lankan people. When considering the university students 80% of them have basic knowledge of Hindi. They have the ability to understand Hindi language because of Hindi films. So when considering the Hindi language there is a huge influence of Bollywood movies but only 15% of them have the writing ability of Hindi language. A language promotes peace and understanding among people as well. Therefore when we promote Hindi language among Sri Lankans, it may be easy to make a bridge connecting the two nations of India and Sri Lanka. It can be started from the university level. The aim of this study is to reveal the ability to use and understand Hindi language of university students. Required data have been analyzed using a mixed approach of both qualitative and quantitative methods.Item Practical Problems of Learning and Teaching Hindi as a Foreign Language.(Department of Hindi Studies, University of Kelaniya, 2016) Hansika, W.A. MaduniIn Sri Lanka, Hindi is not considered as a main language. Some Indians those who live in Sri Lanka use Hindi language as their first language while some Sri Lankans use it as a second language. However majority of the people are interested in learning foreign languages and Hindi language holds a priority yet there are many problems associated with learning Hindi as a foreign language. For the study, a sample of 32 students who are learning Hindi as a foreign language was taken into consideration. Relevant data was gathered through conducting direct discussions, observation and by administering self-developed questionnaire. According to the findings it was revealed that learners are not practicing what they have learnt and the explanation of the teacher is not given in an understandable language. Specifically, not using interesting teaching methods in the teaching process, teachers' verbal explanations having the many difficult words which are simply too hard to catch and repeated failures in learning Hindi etc. can be given as problems of learning Hindi as a foreign language. Finally, it is recommended from the teachers’ perspective that students have to practice what they have learnt about Hindi, they need to make extra efforts on learning and from the learners’ perspective teachers should use more interesting methods on teaching while encouraging the students to overcome the difficulties in learning Hindi as a foreign language. Furthermore, the teacher should use an understandable language to teach Hindi.Item උතුරු ඉන්දියාවේ භජන් ගීතයන්හි අන්තර්ගත භක්ති රසය.(Department of Hindi Studies, University of Kelaniya, 2016) Herath, H.M.I.K.
