Hi everyone, so I'm a 19yo college student from Delhi university, and I am so fasciated by the bengali language, culture and everything as it's so rich and yeah. I remember seeing people sing in Bengali and I used to be like i wanna do this too since I was in 8th grade.

Due to my father's job, I have had lived in west bengal for like 3 years near siliguri, but I was like 3 years old back then so i don't remember much.

Now I had been constantly thinking of trying to learn Bengali, as I just love the this language, how sweet it it's in itself, sadly I don't have any Bengali friends who could have helped me this, so here I am asking how can I learn this beautiful language, i can't technically go ahead and enroll in diploma/certificate course due to college and family restrictons so what are the other ways I can.

I want to be able to read, write, converse and understand Bengali.

Edit: Are there any apps like Duolingo which can help me learn Bengali comparatively through an easier process?

Hey everyone,

Lately, a lot of people in the community have raised concerns about creepy interactions, inappropriate DMs, suspicious accounts, and generally uncomfortable behavior on the sub — and honestly, we get why people are frustrated.

This space is supposed to be for LGBTQ+ teens to feel safe, supported, and able to just exist without constantly being on guard. So going forward, moderation around predatory behavior, harassment, unwanted sexual interactions, and suspicious activity is going to be handled more seriously.

We’re also thinking about introducing some new moderation/community safety initiatives, and before making changes, we wanted to hear directly from you all.

What would you like to see improve here? Any ideas, concerns, suggestions, or things you think mods should do better — drop them below.

Thanks for sticking around and helping keep this community better for everyone.
