Built for grown-up learners

Everything here exists because a heritage speaker wanted it and couldn't find it anywhere else.

  • Real native audio

    Every word and example recorded by a Sylheti speaker — never a synthetic voice.

  • Words you'll actually use

    Levelled vocabulary mixed across themes, so you can hold a conversation sooner.

  • Listening dialogues

    Short conversations broken down line by line, with the grammar shown visually.

  • Honest grammar

    Clear rules for suffixes, pronouns and politeness — not guesswork from phrases.

  • Spaced revision

    Flashcards resurface words just as you're about to forget them.

  • Write it yourself

    Production exercises ask you to build Sylheti sentences, with hints when you're stuck.

Grammar shown, not just told

Rules appear as before-and-after transformations and small tables, so the pattern sticks after one read.

  • Turn a statement into a question by adding ni
  • Match the verb to the person: asi, aso, asoin
  • Say 'too' with the -o suffix
