Yo - I use this at times. This has an pronunciation section too - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dictionary.bn&hl=en_US

Heads up - its free. Now Just to put things in perspective, I am a Bengali but unfortunately was brought up outside of Bengal till I was 12 years old, so my second language was Hindi.

None the less, I was taught to read, write and speak in Bengali. I use this dictionary mostly because I have been trying to read Bengali literature and I often come across words which I have not heard before. That is all I use it for - this app may not be the best for learning pronunciation. As a I mentioned, I am a Bengali - pronunciation is not often a problem for me.

I looked up before posting - Babbel doesn't offer Bengali and I use Duolingo for Spanish and they don't offer Bengali either. Those two resources are actually pretty good, the best I have come across.

At the risk of being downvoted - I can also suggest another sub which might be able to help you out.

r/bangladesh

There might be some help from this sub too but its generally not very active

r/bengalilanguage

We're currently printing it on 300 GSM cardstkck paper with matte lamination...we're trying for 350 but it seems like with a thicker paper, we won't be able to laminate them which would in turn reduce the quality and the longetivity...but we're absolutely trying our best estimate best, sir!

Try airbnb -- they will have a few hundred listings overall, but these are usually short term and likely beyond your budget. Though you can certainly negotiate a price with somebody for long term stay.

Second hand laptops are a hit and miss. To have a little bit peace of mind you can try Amazon Refurbished laptops, where you get 6 months warranty.

Both of the above apps are official apps from the govt, and are terrible by default. Use the "Chalo" app for bus tracking. And Kolkata Metro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.MiNUSzer0.kolkatametro&hl=en_IN&gl=US) for metro timings. We have an extensive auto-rickshaw service which is very confusing for a beginner (at least it was for me 3 years back).
The best transport guides are paan-cigarette walas anywhere. If you are confused ask them.

Here I see a somewhat decent price on flipkart (no idea about the seller though):

My lab offers foldscopes (or DIY digital microscopes) free of cost, in and around Kolkata, when we see a strong research proposal coming from the PhD research scholars/innovators. We usually start collaborating in such case. If you believe you have a good research proposal please DM me.

It is believed to keep stray dogs from pooping near your home. It is basically Ujala blue mixed in water. My experiment seems to confirm its efficacy, but it could be a mere coincidence.

For last seven days it is hell. I have been doing all my meetings on Jio using cellphone wifi. You know, I have started guessing that these LCO guys are giving away my bandwidth to others. I can not prove this, but my intuition says so. For last seven days I am getting 1 to 3 MBPS all throughout the day. Come midnight and I start getting 99 to 102 MBPS on my same wifi connected laptop!

Helpdesk notified LCO long ago, but in vain. After some serious barking I managed to have the LCO guys come over to my place today. They first fiddled with the ethernet cable, and then they showed me 90+ speed on speedtest/ookla, and said, "your problem is solved". This Ookla speed test is rigged right from the beginning, they detect your ISP and always show top speed. Always use linode speed test (select Mumbai). Only when I showed the horrible MBPS on linode, along with a couple of streaming videos (never show YouTube) which were just stuck loading, they started digging deeper after calling Alliance Helpdesk. I don't have packet loss but the turnaround time for ping is not stable.

Alliance is yet to solve my issue. I am living off Jio's daily quota.

Edit: The LCO succeeded in convincing me to pay for the Alliance Fiber but after a few months of excellent service the situation has gone back to the same original state. If you feel like LCO is screwing you, you can explore the following option to reciprocate some of your feelings: download the Alliance app, and make complaint via this app. More importantly, while complaining about your issue, please select "Complaint against operator".
