Learning all the alphabet in the first three months, making words in the next three months, and being able to speak Bengali by at the last three months. Bangla Pathshala will give their best effort for our children to be able to speak and know their mother tongue a little better. With the encouragement and cooperation of all of you, our children will make it happen.
Bengali ranks among the top ten most spoken languages in the world. Known to its native speakers as Bangla, it’s the only national and official language of Bangladesh, where ethnic Bengali peoples comprise 98% of the population.
About 85% of the people in West Bengal(India) speak Bengali.
One major difference is word order. Bengali places its verbs either at or near the end of sentences. In English, verbs are usually somewhere in the middle—following the subject, and before the object.
No matter what your motivation for learning Bengali or your learning goals, you’ll find that your knowledge of the language will be more well-rounded if you take advantage of multiple resources. Be patient with yourself as you learn.
Don’t overdo your studying; it’s better to do a short session every day than to cram for hours.
Once you’ve mastered the Bengali alphabet and started to build your storehouse of vocabulary, consider practicing your reading skills with Bengali books.
Just keep studying consistently. Soon, you’ll be able confidently say, “হ্যাঁ, আমি বাংলা বলতে পারি।” (“Yes, I can speak Bengali.”).
