About পরিচিতি

Hi, I'm a Californian who is haphazardly trying to learn Bangla using resources curated from my boyfriend, the internet, and textbooks. He really hates translating on command, but he tries his best. This website is a repository of all the materials I've accumulated thus far. I am also learning Hindi given the absurd amount of Hindi-based media we end up consuming.

Bengali Script

I recommend learning how to read the script first. Even though it is somewhat tedious, it is very difficult to rely on phonological translations. With that said, I will try to provide phonological translations when possible, and keep to a consistent format.
