5/5 STARS RATING by Aparna Pande
"Initially, I thought the course is too complicated since I had forgotten so much about English grammar itself that applying that grammar to Bengali seemed difficult. But as I continued and tried my best to grasp it, I realised that this course sets such a solid foundation for learning Bangla or Bengali that you will be the best of the lot who are trying to learn the language. In fact along with Bengali, my English grammar also improved and it felt good to pass the quizzes. The best part was that there were things from the course (the grammar part) that I could teach even my fiance even though he is a Bengali :-D I now plan to start the course once again from the beginning as I feel I will grasp it better now especially the parts I couldnt understand well in between. Thank you Kusumika for such a nuanced and detailed course. This is the best one."
