Description
|
|
|
I grew up in Calcutta/Kolk ata (first 12 years, my father was the Resident Engineer at Woodlands Nursing Home, Alipore) and actually understood and spoke Bengali at one point ages ago, and am now returning to learning regional Indian languages. For the past year, I have been learning Bengali and Punjabi on my own - writing the scripts out every few days, listening to YT videos (Pebbles and other channels), and watching Bengali/Punja bi movies (where I can understand about 50-60% of the dialog, depending on the complexity of the movie - I'm watching Kelor Kirti now-a-days - takes me about 2-3 days to watch each movie, as I watch for a bit during dinner).
So, this is both a hobby and a passion. My goal is to learn as many regional languages as I can (I can also understand a bit of Marathi, as I lived and worked in IIT Bombay and visited it often as a child (1974 - 1990), as my maternal uncles were based there).
My proficiency in Bengali is: Beginner.
I am most interested in learning spoken/conver sational Bengali and improving my vocabulary, so that I can hold a conversation with Bengali friends and be on my own in Kolkata! :-)
I would like to have a 30-45 minute lesson for spoken Bengali, at least once per week.
I am looking for a teacher that knows how to work with motivated, dedicated students, and with students who are clear about their goals, and has the skill, ability, patience and dedication to work with such serious students to see them achieve real progress.
My ideal teacher would be someone who is obviously proficient in Bengali, can explain some of the grammar (enough to speak things right), and can help to me get conversationa lly strong. And, also improve my understanding of Bengali movies! :-)
Thank you.
