Lesson 8: Reading Practice
INTRODUCTION
With Lessons 1 through 6, given that one is actively
reading signs, books, and words in Bengali script, one should be able to read
Bengali now. With some additional help of lesson 7, Bengali can be pronounced
properly to some degree. Now, it is time to really put this into practice.
There are two parts to this assignment. The objective is to transliterate a bhajan from Bengali. After completing that, a
transliteration of a bhajan will be presented that
needs to be transliterated to Bengali.
