Good for learning writing November 25, 2008
Erin Lynch-Klarup (Washington, DC)
I had been learning spoken Bangla for about 8 months when I bought this book to help me learn the writing system and nail down some grammar. I'm maybe 8 lessons in, and it's been a great way to learn to write, but I think this could be a pretty challenging book to start Bangla with. Also, the language taught in it seems oriented towards language in Calcutta (as opposed to Dhaka) and fairly formal.
The only option, but could be better. June 21, 2008

For the fifth most spoken language in the world, there are few options to learn Bengali. There were several early in the 20th century, when Calcutta and Bengal was so important to British India and trade. There are more options for other South Asian languages, even those spoken by far fewer people. So it makes a language which has a large amount of literature and film difficult to access. This was written many years ago, and it does not benefit from recent knowledge of language learning. While comprehensive it is a challenging way to learn a language. I wish that a more effective system were available. It gets three stars because of the lack of options, but if there were others, it could easily drop to two.
