Set up your keyboard

Match the guide to your device keyboard. Leave simulation unchecked when your system already types this language; enable it to practise these positions using English input.

Follow the highlighted character and finger. Correct mistakes with Backspace, then build a steady rhythm. Lesson progress resets when you change stage, layout or input mode, or leave this page.

Find your index fingers

Find the bumps at the F and J positions. Alternate your index fingers; use either thumb for Space.

These are key-position drills, not words. The large key label shows the output; the small label names its US keyboard position. Follow the highlighted finger. Slow down until each movement feels comfortable; speed comes with accurate repetition.

Add your middle fingers

Place your middle fingers beside your index fingers. Tap lightly and keep the other fingers resting on the home row.

Add your ring fingers

Use your ring fingers for these home-row positions. Keep your wrists relaxed.

Add your little fingers

Use your little fingers at the outer home-row positions. Avoid moving the whole hand.

Join the home row

Combine the home-row movements. Your index fingers reach inward for the G and H positions, then return home.

Reach the upper row

Reach up with the highlighted finger. Return it to the home row after each press.

Reach the lower row

Reach down with the highlighted finger. Keep your eyes on the next key and maintain a steady rhythm.

Practise the number row

Reach to the number row, then return home. Key outputs depend on your layout; follow the character shown.

Use the opposite Shift

Hold Shift with the opposite hand while pressing the highlighted key. Release Shift before each space.

Keyboard setup & lesson notes

Practise Bengali vowel-sign order, virama sequences, and a short Bangla sentence with your preferred input method.

Choose Bengali InScript or a system IME

A Bengali InScript layout uses fixed positions. A phonetic system follows its own spelling rules and suggestions. Pick one for the session. A guide for InScript cannot describe every phonetic keyboard or a different commercial layout.

The main test offers a named Bengali InScript reference. Leave Built-in practice unchecked when your device already types Bengali. The exercises below accept system text directly so that your usual composition controls keep working.

Practise vowel signs around one consonant

The first exercise holds ক constant and changes the vowel. In কি, enter the consonant before the dependent vowel sign, even though the sign appears on the left. Do not insert a space between them. The same principle lets the browser render the other forms as one readable unit.

If the sign appears separate, check for an extra space or an incorrect base letter. Work through the row slowly before attempting complete words; otherwise a spelling error and a keyboard error can be difficult to distinguish.

Build a conjunct, then return to words

The second drill isolates ক্র, প্র, and ত্র. For ক্র, the character sequence is ক + ্ + র. Let the font render the cluster instead of searching for a visually similar standalone symbol.

The sentence drill says that we read Bengali every day. Type it once without a timer and inspect the vowel signs in প্রতিদিন and পড়ি. Then choose a short Bengali test. Keep the same layout and compare your own clean attempts over time.
