Learn Bengali with real humans
Bengali is the 7th most spoken language in the world, with more than 300 million speakers across Bangladesh, India (West Bengal, Assam, Tripura) and a thriving diaspora in the United Kingdom, the United States and Europe. It is the language of Rabindranath Tagore, the first non-European to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, in 1913. Bangladesh is also one of the most dynamic emerging markets in South Asia, with a textile industry accounting for 85% of its global exports.
