A clear plan for steady progress:
You can have a first simple conversation after about 3 hours. After about 50 hours you can hold everyday conversations fluently.

Learn Bengali
How the Bengali course differs from other language courses:
Recommended learning time: 17 minutes a day.
Any time, anywhere, on any device.
For bilingual relationships, to emigrate and for travelling.
The long-term memory method brings each Bengali word back just before you would forget it – after 2, 4, 8 and 16 days. If you still know it, it stays. If not, it goes back into the loop.
Superlearning music: calm background music that helps you relax and focus. With it, you learn 28.3% faster. You can switch it off at any time.
You don't need a study plan:
Every day the course puts the right exercises in front of you. You open it, do your 17 minutes, and your Bengali improves a little every day.
Dialogues, multiple-choice exercises, the verb trainer and the sentence construction trainer: the variety keeps your daily Bengali lesson fresh. That makes it easier to come back tomorrow.

How to make steady progress in Bengali:


Make steady progress in Bengali with 17 Minute Languages
The daily trainer picks your exercises for you, matched to your level. It brings each word back for review at the right moment.
 
Learn over 1,300 Bengali words and reach level A1/A2
With the beginner's course you learn over 1,300 words and reach level A1/A2.
 
With the complete package you learn 5,000 words and work your way up from A1 to C2.
 
The complete package also contains many more lessons and texts than the beginner's course, so you get much deeper into Bengali.
Daily trainer
In the daily trainer you first read, listen to and learn the new words.
You then review them in a set pattern: sometimes you reveal the translation, sometimes you pick it in a multiple-choice exercise.
 
Over the next few days, each new word comes back just before you would forget it. A word you get wrong goes back into the loop until you know it.
That is how you memorise the translation, the pronunciation and the spelling of each word.
 
Bengali texts to read and listen to
Words alone do not make a language. So you also get texts and dialogues to read and listen to, matched to the words you have just learnt.
With the sentence construction trainer you practise putting complete sentences together.
 
Bengali verb trainer
The course also includes a verb trainer, so you can practise the Bengali verb forms until you get them right.
 
Pick up where you left off
The course carries on exactly where you left off – you don't have to look for the right lesson.
Whether you study for three minutes, 17 minutes or an hour a day is up to you.
 
Elements that keep you motivated
There are also a few extras that keep you motivated:
For every word you learn, you earn points.
The longer you study on a given day, the more points each word earns you.
Study on several days in a row and your learning streak earns you an extra bonus.
 
Exchange points for bonuses
After each session you can compare your score with other learners and exchange points for bonuses – a bit like a frequent flyer programme.
On days when you study for an especially long time, there is a small surprise at the end.
Learn a little longer than yesterday and you earn extra points – and more bonuses.
 
Audio for the Bengali vocabulary
17 Minute Languages learning community
You are not learning on your own: in our learning community you can compare notes with other learners and find a learning partner.
 
Vocabulary in English and Bengali
The course runs online. Use it on your computer, smartphone or tablet and switch devices whenever you like. You have 10 years of access.
After your daily lesson you can start the audio trainer with today's new words and the ones you got wrong.
You hear each word in English and Bengali and repeat it.
That helps the words stick.
 
Have a conversation in Bengali
The Bengali course takes you from your first words to real conversations: a first simple exchange after about 3 hours, fluent after about 50 hours.
The words you learn come back until they stick.
Step by step you build whole sentences – and you start talking in Bengali.

What do our clients say
... regarding the learning methods of the language courses


"It is a more fun approach than other courses.
I like the repetition rhythm of words I do not know. I need a visual approach to support aural learning."

   (Andrea Matrosovs)
 
"It speaks the words so I can hear pronunciation instead of just guessing how written words might sound.
I also like the multitude of ways the words are presented: written words, pictures, fill in the blank sentences, spoken dialogue, etc.
This allowed me to speak more authentically and to learn the words more thoroughly.
This is the best program I have used."

   (Ashley Crust)
 
"The varied learning possibilities are gorgeous! They have something in store for everyone.
Especially being able to print flashcards has been new to me and I think it's brilliant! They are really easy to print and front and back are fitting on top of each other! The everyday situations make learning much easier since sentences out of everyday life are a great motivation learning a language. Learning varies at all times because there are so many different ways teaching myself the language."

   (Kelly Roberts)
 
"I am very content with your language course and I really enjoy learning with it. I like the well-structured way of the course and the wide-ranging possibilities which make learning so much easier and varying as well. Besides I think it's great you can choose to listen to the language as often as you want to as well as being able to print the vocabulary on flashcards. In any case I would love to thank the experts who developed the course very much! It's fun to learn a new language with this course!"
   (Gillian Smith)
 
"Early days yet but ... I like the challenge created by the various ways of presenting the words / expressions presented in the learning process.
Both passive and active recall are interspersed following your own system and the dynamic variation keeps the experience 'fresh'.
I'm old and have a problem with short-term memory but I notice that the repetitions and 'recycling' are paying off.
Recognition is simple but recall of the target item from the English is slow. I'll get there in the end!
By combining this course (for vocabulary) with other input, I am making fair progress."

   (Piet Wade)
 

What our clients say
... about the long term memory learning method


"I've been mostly impressed by the long-term method for learning new vocabulary, since I didn't expect to know the vocabulary after a pretty long break. The explanation of the psychological backgrounds and the systematics of the memory performance respectively makes the learning methods much more comprehensible."
   (Scott Wilkinson)
 
"The long-term memory learning method for keeping vocabulary in long-term memory is, in my opinion, particularly efficient. Thereby you are developing ambition which keeps you going. Also the pages which hide the vocab are tremendously good to get a quick overview and are very suitable to repeat in fast track. I find the displaying of the last seven wrong inputs in the long-term memory learning method very supportive."
   (Frank Collins)
 
"I really really like the vocabulary training method. Here, I'm especially using the long-term memory learning method. I mostly prefer multiple choice and input. This method makes me build up on my vocabulary knowledge quickly. I'm able to connect proper spelling as well as the right pronunciation by the audio output. To get a quick learning success this is essential to me.
The distinct lessons are prepared well and are really easy to access. Here it's especially useful having the possibility playing the particular sequences."

   (Lauren Grey)
 
"I've been using this language course for 4 months intensively. I think it's really convenient having the possibility to repeat the vocabulary regularly with the long-term memory learning method. I really enjoy this program for it keeps asking until the correlate word is typed in correctly. Moreover the digital speech of the respective vocabulary is also great."
   (Gautam Kumars)
 
"I was especially amazed by learning with the long-term method. The recordings of the entire vocabulary and dialogues sound very natural and realistic since they were all spoken by native speakers. Putting it in a nutshell, it's a well-made language course."
   (Marcus Großkautz)
 
"I'd learned this language already basically before but I could hardly remember anything about my basics, nevertheless I was able to reaccess the language. For this I'm sure the clear and logical structure of the language course is crucial and also the opportunity to operate within the program in so many different ways."
   (Jean-Baptiste Novak)
 
"I particularly like the diversity of the learning method and the great choice of topics of the lessons or the continuous sequences. The exercising sections containing the long-term memory learning method are really motivating to start learning. Now, my son (15) really enjoys learning new vocabulary and is making great progress. Personally, I was able to develop myself professionally and put into practice what I had learned."
   (Marguerite Guérin)
 
"I really do like learning using the long term memory learning method. Using the PC is much simpler than writing manually. Moreover using the PC is much more efficient since you cannot cheat yourself - The system is correcting every single mistake also including emphasis which are also registered. Storing the different levels makes repeating the vocabulary and the texts based on the flashcard principle possible and thereby more effective. Learning foreign languages has become a hobby to me - for me, personally, it is not only learning by heart but a leisure pursuit."
   (Emily Snyder)
 
"From an educational view the long term memory learning method is very well-structured.
We are able to store the results. Also we think the gap texts are great and the pronunciation of the audio files is especially audible and clear.
The lessons are kept short which is favourable respecting our age. Thank you very much for this language course."

   (Richard & Francis Pennyworthy)
 
"It's very beneficial being able to organize your individual schedule and also being able to print out the entire course. The variety of the teaching materials is also great.
When it comes to learning vocabulary by using the long term memory learning method you only decide once how long you would like to learn per day. Once you've decided on how long you want to learn a day, this will be happening automatically afterwards. So, once you get started you will pull through.
This is also very helpful when having a hard time with motivation. Being able to decide on your own how long you want to learn makes this course "feasible"."

   (Henry Smalls)
 
"The long term memory learning method makes sure the learned language remains "available". In comparison to other language courses the vocabulary is spoken and recorded by native speakers thus it's possible to speak virtually accent-free. The vocabulary being taught makes you capable to communicate with native speakers easily. People who struggle to organize themselves when it comes to learning a language are given the opportunity to work on daily exercises. What has made me choose your course is being able to determine by yourself how much and when you want to learn. The course provides a great variety of different learning aids. They really have something in store for everyone."

I also like the dictation."
