What is Bengali Class

The Bengali class is a community service provided by a team of dedicated, sincere and loving volunteers who sacrifice personal time to provide tutoring and mentoring to young children on this native Indian language. The classes started in 2020 during the pandemic lockdown, with mostly children of the community members and a couple of teachers. Since then, it has grown in stature, reach and goodwill and currently has 5 teachers teaching more than 35 students, twice a month and across two levels of proficiency (you can read about the levels here). The classes are open to anyone prepared to join online and has participation from different parts of the country. They cover verbal and written skills, and are often sprinkled with wholesome doses of references to the rich culture and heritage of Bengal.
