Questions, answered
Will you practise everyday spoken Bengali?
Yes. Spoken Bengali is warmer and more casual than the written form, and Mira focuses on the natural phrases people actually use.
Do I need to know any Bengali already?
No, you can start as a complete beginner. Mira speaks slowly, keeps things simple, and can help in English when you are stuck, then raises the difficulty as you improve.
How is this different from a language app?
Apps build vocabulary but rarely make you speak in real time. Mira is a live phone conversation, so you practise understanding and speaking Bengali together, which is what real conversations demand.
