How to actually use this vocabulary
Don't just read it. Cover the Bengali column, say each term out loud from the English, and mark anything you stumble on twice. Drill those in short daily sessions, then practise them inside real dialogues so the words come to you under time pressure — that's what the Bengali practice dialogues are for.
