Survival Bangla (Bangladesh) for ESL Teachers
By:"Rana" Mohamed Khosrul & Robin Day <cowboy4444@hotmail.com>

Essential classroom commands for ESL teachers in Bangladesh. Bangla is the 3rd largest language in the world, just larger than Spanish, and is spoken in the Bengal area of India as well. In Arab countries Bengalis make up a large proportion of the foreign work force. Ranna is a nickname and Rana works as a security guard in Kuwait City. This list follows the first format (Korean) in this series started by Robin. Bangladesh is a very cheap country to visit and borders on India and Burma. It is not not often visited by tourists (yet). Many people learn English in school there so communication is possible.
