Learning Bengali Alphabet for English speakers: Teach yourself Bengali (Bangla) alphabet

Liked the whole idea.

Exactly what I was looking for. So many other Bengali/Bangla language books labeled "for beginners" assume quite a lot of previous cultural exposure to the language or academic knowledge. This book pitches it just right --- gives you the name of the letter, the sound the letter makes (with an understanding of how British English speakers pronounce things, as opposed to Australian or American -- no point in saying something like "this letter has the sound of the 'a' in 'tomato' if you don't know what pronunciation of tomato you need!), and plenty of space to practice tracing and then free writing the letters yourself. Not too dumbed down, not too erudite, just right.

very clear and easy to follow.
