I was looking through the thread and I don't think I've posted some of these links:


http://aajkalca.com/
Newspaper from Toronto. Very good for reading practice.


http://thebengalitimes.com/
Also a newspaper from Canada.


http://www.bartamanpatrika.com/
Bengali newspaper based in India.



http://www.shatorupa.com/
This is a literary magazine, it has short stories, poems and novels. It's a very good site.

South Asian Language subforum now? Sweet! Threw me off though. I was looking for the Bengali thread and it wasn't there o_O

Anyway, does anyone know any musical, bollywood-like songs in Bengali? Like the Devdas or Mohabbatein soundtracks?

নমস্কার বিজলী!



Hmm Bollywood-like songs are hard to find in Bengali. Try "Prem Amar" (প্রেম আমার) it has very catchy songs. Also a lot of Shreya Ghoshal songs in Bengali are very nice. I really like "Jao Pakhi Bolo". I also love the songs from "Premer Kahini". I will post some here if you want

নমস্কার মীরা!
ধন্যবাদ! Not exactly what I was looking for, though I do like a couple Prem Aamar songs and Jao Pakhi Bolo. And I -love- Shreya Goshal
Ah well, I guess I can just be content with the regular Hindi Bollywood songs

Oh and I'd love if you posted some :O

Like these? Songs in Bengali movies are much better than those in Hindi movies...on pair with Tamil.

Try their youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/coolcal2111?feature=watch

Still not exactly the style I was looking for, but ধন্যবাদ, TeneReef

Teenreef, those are very nice songs but not exactly "Bollywood" style. Bijlee, I know its not what your looking for but here some of the ones I mentioned, they are the closest I've found to Bollywood type songs. West Bengal's/ Bangladesh's entertainment industry isn't as well as developed as Mumbai's. The real good ones are quite old and usually don't have any songs and are more artsy than Masala.

I don't really know any Bengali songs that have huge dance numbers like Devdas, K3G, KKHH and things like that. However Tamil and Telugu films have tons of songs like that and their movie industry is a lot bigger. Bengali movies tend to be simpler.

Thanks for the help, Meera ^_^

Hmmm... I guess I'll just have to abandon Bengali and go for one of those languages.

Kidding.

Well maybe

Haha well Bengali is eaiser than both of those and has more resources. But Tamil & Telugu movies/music are way better

Yeah, true. I still want to learn Tamil though. I just want some books

Anyway, on a different note, we should start a person after me game in Bengali! Any idea how to say that in Bangla?

I'm honestly not sure, itd have to a guess I guess we could say:

আমার পরে একজন ব্যক্তির ?

Why একজন? I don't know, Your Bengali is better than mine

I think this game will turn out to be just us two going back and forth for the most part haha . Unless TeneReef is learning Bengali?

Because I tried to translate "A" person, but it would be us just going back and forth kind of like the Hindi one

Ahhh I see. Well we can keep up the tradition then haha

অবশ্যই

Unfortunately, I am not. I don't have time for it.
I'm learning only Tamil, but will eventually learn Assamese.

As for Bengali music songs, I always preview them at musicjagat.
