Want a Bengali conversation checked
I am in the process of learning Bengali and I also have a Bengali teaching website (http://gobangla.web.officelive.com) that covers some of the things I have already learned. I want to start adding some simple conversations to the site. I will put the first here. I think it is correct because I have pulled it from a few books I have. I didn't know this:
What do you do? apni ki koren?
I am a____ ami ____
I would also really like some help adding things that might realistically come up in a conversation with people meeting for the first time. I would appreciate your help.
How are you? komon achen
I am good bhalo achi
What is your name? tomar nam ki?
My name is____ amar nam____
What do you do? apni ki koren?

Where do you live? apni kothay thaken?
