I'm not so sure but I've never heard of Bangali being taught at an academic level, am I right? Although some Islamic Schools teach it at GCSE masha'Allah.
I've studied Urdu, Gujrati and Arabic at School/6th Form and Uni...And the ways in which they were taught varied drastically.
I mean yeah, they all start off with the basics, alphabet etc but from there its all diff.
Hmm...I'm confused about bangali though, there are several types right? Sylheti, Dhakai? And the other one, the *posh* one, I cant remem the name of it. Lol
So0o0o, what advice would you give to somebody who wants to learn it, where to begin? Is it even possible without a teacher, without it being your mother-tongue?
Helppp Min Fadhlek!? (I guess somebody could begin by teaching me the Bangali word for please )
Whoah! Masha'allah Najm you're poems so good! Did you write it yourself?
Anyways..What's happening sis Jolie?
Please don't be put off by the langauage..surround yourself with bengali people and bombard 'em with Q's. Failing that we're here for ya!
As in the reply? I'd say Alhamdulillah ami bhala asi are afne?
(Alhamdulillah, I'm fine and yourself?)
Or if you wanna ask about the weather..
Yaa! Khali meg diro khoy din duri, Londone ayya tekigesi..
(Ooh la la! It's been raining for so long! Coming to london (commonly used by Bengalis to mean England) has really limited my opportunities! )
(Okay, that's just an elongated translation )
lol! Well say I was talking to an 'aunty' in Urdu, I'd prolly ask how she was, and then ask about the kids, and then she'd ask about my studies, and...and....Argh you can never predict a convo
But I dont know where to startt! :laugh: argh, ok how do you say, 'How was ur day? '

some questions are easy to guess. If u are unmarried , she will surely ask when u r going to be married
questions may be like these : tomar beyar khobor ki ? ( what about ur marriage ?)
kemon chelay tomar posondo ? ( which type of boy u like to marry ? )
tomar kono posondo ashey ? ( do u like anyone? )
Amar hate bhalo chelay ashey ( I know a good young unmaaried boy )
etc etc :sunny:
Christ will never be proud to reject to be a slave to God .....holy Quran, chapter Women , 4: 172
^^I've met some Shuddho people and mum encourages me to speak Shuddho, but am useless at it as most of my mates are Sylheti..
^^Pk %*# I apologise..I got confuzzled... But you are who I think you are right?
Sis Muslim Woman...who asks young women about whether they're getting married or not??
Ooh la la! I've passed that age..though I must say, when we see people we haven't seen for ages they ask if I'm married, but not to me directly, they ask my mum.
It's annoying to think that just coz I wear a Jilbab and hijab that I should be married, which again is an unfortunate misconception amongst Bengalis here (some not all) when they assume you're married to be covered up.
Where's sis Jolie?
