Designed for learners beginning Bengali or those who wish to brush up their knowledge, this course helps users progress from the basics to understanding, speaking and writing Bengali with confidence. Bengali stands sixth in the world in its number of speakers, has the richest and most developed literature in South Asia and is the national language of Bangladesh and the state language of West Bengal. There are also large Bengali-speaking communities in India, the Middle East, North America and Britain. This cassette is designed to support part two of the book "Teach Yourself Bengali", covering communication - conversation and grammar. The units in this section are based on useful everyday dialogues for which the transcripts are presented in the book.
