How to use this
Open this page once a day for ten minutes. Pick a scope you want to master (start with 1,000), search or scroll, and mark every word you already recognise. The progress bar shows how much of running text you can now follow. When everything in the top 1,000 is marked, switch to the top 3,000 and continue — that single step takes you from ~76% to ~88% text coverage.
Function words (postpositions, copulas, pronouns) are tagged in the list — they're a small set but carry most of the structural load. Learn them first regardless of scope; the lessons in Part II cover the grammar of what they do.
The Bengali translations are machine-generated for the top 222 words and hand-curated above that. Function words and high-frequency words have been hand-checked; long-tail content words may have occasional context errors.
