Why speak Bengali?
Bengali is one of the world's most spoken languages, rich in poetry and song. Its everyday spoken form is best learned by speaking it.
270 million speakers
Seventh most spoken language on Earth
Bengali is the heart of West Bengal and Bangladesh, rich in literature, music and warmth. Speaking it means a great deal to native speakers.
Vowel sounds need the ear
Bengali vowels and their nasal forms are best learned aloud, adjusting as you hear yourself.
Everyday speech differs from formal
Spoken Bengali is warmer and more casual than the written form. Practice helps you sound natural, not bookish.

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. Indilingo Voice is a live phone conversation, so you practise understanding and speaking Bengali together, which is what real conversations demand.
