Hi Cami hope this will help.

__________________________________________________________
Kitchen ----------- Ranna Ghor
toilet ------------- Latreen (english word)
bathroom --------- Ghusol Khana
bedroom ---------- Shobar Ghor
living-room ------- Boytuk khana (meeting room)

friend-------------Bondhu
love ------------ Bhalobasha, Prem
talking---------- Kotha bola
working ---------- Kaj kora

to be at work ------- kaj a tak tai hob a ("kaje" would suffice depending on context )

week-end------- shony robi (shaptahic chuti)
holiday ------------- chuti
eating ---------------- Khawa
sleeping ------------ Ghumanu
good (about a person) ------ Bhalo
bad (about a person) -------- Kharap/Mondo
food ------------------ Khabar
hungry --------------- Kheedha
making love ---------- Bhalobasha

sexy --------------- Otuloniyo (nope) there aint any word for that

joke ------------- Tattra (TThatta) Hashi Tamasha
joking ------------- Yarkee mara

yes ----------- ha/jy
no ------------- na/jy na
thank you (=ahmen?) ----- Dhanyabad

./Last two is seldom used. 'Ashi' maybe used to indicate leaving. Also Khada Hafew (Allah Hafez) is often used while leaving. As Salamu Alaikum while coming in.
good night -------- Shuvo rat ree
good morning ------- Shu probat

Hello there Fahi,

Its simple realy ! Just get a Bangla to English Dictionary and it will be very simple to pronounce and say the words exactly as you want to!

I still don't understand how a Bangla to English dictionary would help in this case.
Shouldn't it be English to bangla.??
