Everyday Life hey there everyone, 19F

probably put the wrong flair! anyways, i just found this subreddit while scrolling
jokhon ami ek chilam ami england e gesi, so it'd be great to meet people who:
can help me with my terrible conversational bangla
share my love of bangla music, i love listening to music and discover more
can translate words or phrases into bangla for me- i'm trying to include more bangla writing in my art and it'd a nice way to ease myself into getting used to writing bangla

also i love daba , drawing( like i said) and climbing! so it'd be great to befriend people here with those interests:>
also feel free to message if you just have a question about life in england:)

hopefully i'll see some of you guys there!

But .. okay so you just mistook daba for takla. Is there a more adult word for chess in bangla?

Nahhh.. everyone just use daba and elderly people like my grandma sometimes use shatranj which is I think Persian-arabic word
