What this short exchange teaches

  • niAdd ni to the end of a sentence to make a yes/no question: Afne bala asoin → Afne bala asoin ni?
  • asiMatch the verb to the person: asi for “I am”, asoin for “you are” (respectful).
  • -oAttach -o to mean “too”: ami-o = “me too”.

Real course audio with English translations.

Practise the reply, not just the recognition

About ten minutes a day, built for grown-up learners.

  1. Hear it

    Listen to a short dialogue.

  2. Understand it

    See how the words and grammar fit together, in plain English.

  3. Try it

    Write the answer yourself from memory, with hints if you get stuck.

  4. Revisit it

    Flashcards bring words back just before you’d forget them.

Familiar words. Hard-to-find replies.

You recognise the expressions. You catch parts of the conversation. But when it’s your turn, finding the words can be harder — or you might be starting from the very beginning. GofShof gives you a place to listen, practise and turn what sounds familiar into something you can say.

  • Joining in on a family call
  • Answering more than yes or no
  • Asking something back

Questions

Is this for complete beginners, or people who already understand some?
Both. Complete beginners start from the first greeting; if you already understand some, a quick placement check skips what you know. Either way, the practice is about producing your own replies.
Which languages can I learn?
Sylheti, Urdu and Hindi are available now, and one subscription covers them all. Bengali and Punjabi are planned for future releases.
Is GofShof a class or an app?
A self-paced web app — no live classes, no scheduling. About ten minutes a day, whenever suits you.
What's the difference between the taster and the free mission?
The taster is a single free lesson you can do right now with no account. Once you sign up, your first mission is free — no card required, no time limit.
Does one subscription really cover every course?
Yes. Subscribe once and every current and future course is included.

Start with one family conversation.
