sorry to bother you but i want to get back into learning bangla again. im just so scared of learning the alphabet because it looks overwhelming. do you know of any good resources i can use that teaches how to read and write it?
Lol the alphabet sure looks intimidating at first (especially the conjunct consonants!) but it's really simple. Here's an app I know that teaches Bangla script quite nicely:
Loved by over 5 million language learners all over the world ❤️
And... i made this video series a year or so ago, you could check it out:
Found this video on YT too:

And here's a chart for those dreadful conjunct consonants:
A table of all the Bengali conjunct consonants
Honestly though, you don't need to rote learn these, just learn the normal consonants first and the rest is guesswork. Many of these conjunct forms are either obsolete or rarely used. So chill.
I think these should be enough to get you started. Happy language learning! If you have any doubts, the asks and DMs are always open^^
