“No one walks alone, so as you walk in the journey of life you
must thank those who joined you, who walked beside you,
and helped you along the way.”
Apart from one’s own efforts, the success of any project
depends largely on the encouragement and guidance of
many others. I take this opportunity to express my heartfelt
gratitude to the people who have made the completion of
this book possible:

Hasna Byju, Mita Dey, Rajathi Balakumar, Anupam Paul,
Jayesh Babu, Hari Pada Roy, Binoy Chowdhury, Rajib Paul

Special thanks to Mrs. Geeta Sood for her sole contribution to
the Hindi Portion.

PREFACE
The publisher took initiative in producing this 2 in 1 (Hindi &
Bengali) book understanding the interest of some people
for learning one of these languages. The alphabets and
grammar of both Hindi and Bengali languages are similar,
so it would be easy for both native speakers of Hindi and
Bengali to learn & speak each other’s language through
this book.
writers like Rabindranath Tagore (Nobel Laureate), Kazi
Nazrul Islam, Jashim Uddin, Bankim Chandra
Chattopadhya, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, Harivansh
Rai Bachchan, Munshi Premchand, Maithili Sharan
Gupt, Mahadevi Verma, Amir Khusro and many others.
But just because of not knowing a language, one cannot
get the taste of that language author’s literary works. This
combined book of Hindi & Bengali will help all language
lovers to learn these languages comfortably.
The publisher strongly recommends all interested learners
to practice these languages by writing the
alphabets/numbers and reading the dictionaries to
understand the words with meanings. More writing practice
will help these languages learning faster & easier.
Also this book is probably different from any other book for
the following reasons:
sentences, a mini dictionary and some public
awareness notes.
P ag
masculine and feminine genders.
This book covers some areas of general knowledge.
By this book any interested language learner can
learn both Hindi and Bengali languages through
English pronunciation.
which could be incorporated in the event of any future
edition of this book. This publication is unique in its kind; in
essence, no book so far had been published keeping these
two languages side by side.
The publisher’s attempt will be fruitful if this book is found
useful to readers for whom it is meant.
