Bedeutung
Stating one is in the process of learning
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Bangladesh, the phrase is often used with great pride during the month of February (Language Movement Month) to show respect for the mother tongue. In Kolkata, you might hear people use this phrase when discussing 'Rabindra Sangeet' (Tagore's songs), which is a common hobby for many residents. Second-generation Bengalis in the UK or USA often use this phrase to reconnect with their heritage. There is a strong tradition of 'tutor culture' in Bengal. Students often say 'Ami [Subject] shikhchi' to refer to their private tuitions.
Add an Object
Always try to add what you are learning (e.g., 'Bangla') before 'shikhchi' to sound more natural.
Don't say 'Ami hoy'
Never use the word 'hoy' (am) with 'shikhchi'. The verb ending already does the work!

Use with 'cheshtha'
If you feel your skills are very basic, say 'Ami shekhar cheshtha korchi' (I am trying to learn). It sounds very humble.
Smile when you say it
Bengali speakers love it when foreigners learn their language. Saying this with a smile opens many doors.
