❁ Online resources for learning Bengali ❁
I received two private messages asking if I had any resources, and unfortunately there are very few resources that teach Bengali/Bangla online ): but I have gathered some that I found and used, and that are helpful to me! Please comment if you know any others 🤍
❛ ━━━━━━・❪ ❁ ❫・━━━━━━ ❜
❁YouTube channel for learners
Reading and writing, conversational lessons, book reviews etc. I love this channel so much, it’s how I began learning as a beginner and I wish there were more like it.
❛ ━━━━━━・❪ ❁ ❫・━━━━━━ ❜
❁Textbooks online
1. https://theswissbay.ch/pdf/Books/Linguistics/Mega%20linguistics%20pack/Indo-European/Indo-Aryan/Bengali%2C%20Teach%20Yourself%20%28Hudson%29.pdf
2. https://archive.org/details/bengalicompletec0000radi
You can borrow this one for free, I own a physical copy of a slightly newer version and it’s good!
❛ ━━━━━━・❪ ❁ ❫・━━━━━━ ❜
❁Websites to watch Bengali movies and serials
1. https://www.hoichoi.tv
There are a few free movies and episodes here, I have the monthly subscription for €9 which gives access to hundreds of shows and films. There is an option to turn off English subtitles and some shows also have Bangla CC which is helpful!
2. https://einthusan.tv/movie/browse/?lang=bengali
Totally free and they have loads of movies with English sub (still waiting for them to upload something after palasher biye though) 
❛ ━━━━━━・❪ ❁ ❫・━━━━━━ ❜
❁Website for simplified stories
(Thank you very much to my fiancé and his mom for finding this for me <3)
❛ ━━━━━━・❪ ❁ ❫・━━━━━━ ❜
❁Tumblr blog for learning Bangla @banglanotebook
I love the vocabulary lists and word of the day, really helpful for beginner and intermediate!
❛ ━━━━━━・❪ ❁ ❫・━━━━━━ ❜
❁Apps that have Bengali courses
(I usually do not recommend studying with apps for languages, but it can be useful as a supplementary method for vocabulary)
1. Mondly (I have finished this course and it’s pretty decent for vocabulary - just as always with apps, don’t expect to learn any grammar properly)
2. Ling
3. Transparent Language (no grammar, only vocabulary but it’s free with library access)
❛ ━━━━━━・❪ ❁ ❫・━━━━━━ ❜
❁YouTube channel for handwriting
(Aimed at native speakers, but I used this to learn to write after learning to read)
At the moment I’m only posting words I’ve learned myself each day on this blog (see my bangla vocabulary tag) but I may post more lessons in the future! Again please comment if you know any other resources, I would greatly appreciate it 🤍
My favorite jokes are about mispronouncing philosophers' names but I'm afraid it's a nietzsche subgenre
It's not ignorance but poetry
the weirdest thing about learning a language is not knowing a specific word.
not sure what a puddle is called but i can say little ocean in the road !
List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for 10 people! Get to know your mutuals and followers (ू•‧̫•ू⑅)♡
Hi :)
❈ Listening to music - I listen to a lot of different genres and I like to discover new things. I can't spend a day without listening to music x) (and I like to play it too!)
❈ Crafting things - Especially origami but it can be all the other manually things/DIY that I can found in Internet or books :)
❈ Learning about languages and culture - I think that the diversity of languages and cultures in the world are really beautiful, I love discovering new things, new ways of saluting, showing love, new concepts, new untranslatable words...
❈ Writing/worldbuilding - I'm a Fantasy worldbuilder, and I like to write songs and poems. I'm currently working on a draft for a book that's still a messy draft, due to a lack of time and organisation x) Hope one day I'll finish my projects xD
❈ Nature - I'm just fascinated by the diversity, the beauty and the complexity of nature, it's so mesmerising!
#ask #tag game #i always write a lot even for simple questions x)
If you could instantly be granted fluency in 5 languages—not taking away your existing language proficiency in any way, solely a gain—what 5 would you choose?
A while ago I talked to my polyglot friend, who's currently learning Czech, and he asked me for some easy reading materials. As I have offspring and thus my home is overflowing with kids books, it was pretty easy to find something suitable for, say, A1-A2 learners.
Since I've seen a lot of Czech learners on this site, I realized I could share with more people!
So, here's the link to my Google drive folder:
Hope it helps!
(if anyone needs help translating something, feel free to DM me)
love saying "ich krieg die krise" for i'm losing it / i'm freaking out / etc because it translates directly to "I'm getting the crisis". you know the one. THE crisis. the one and only baby. ye ol reliable
the swears that non-native-english-speakers come up with are absolutely fantastic sometimes. my friend just said “she is fuck as shit” instead of “she is fucking shit” and now i cant stop saying things are fuck as shit. the weather is fuck as shit. my homework is fuck as shit. phenomenal.

… it’s inewgh!
A shy little ghost who has fallen in love with languages and wants to become a polyglot. A jumble of discovery and random information. Oh, and also a conlanger :)
