Shami - The pronunciation of \"Sha\" is like the \"Sha\" of Sharp. and the pronunciation of \"mi\" is like \"me\".
Estri could also be written as Stri. The pronunciation of \"Estri/Stri\" is like the \"Stri\" of Strict. But, here the T (sTri) should be pronunciated softly.
Aamra - \"Aam\" is like the \"um\" of umbrella and \"ra\" rhymes with run.

swami

স্বামী->পতি(সংসদ বাংলা অভিধান পৃ ৮৫৫),a husband(samsad Beng-Eng Dict. P 1041), husband-> স্বামী(samsad eng-beng dict. P 531, students favourite dict. P 653)। so, there IS a 'ব' ফলা in স্বামী and must be written as swamy/swami.বাংলা শামি(shami) means 'an iron ferrule' and not a husband.
Peer comment(s):

agree Syeda Tanbira Zaman : স্বর্ণালী ও সালেহ সাহেব, স্বামী এবং শামির মধ্যে খুউব বেশি তফাত্‍ নেই. :) It depends on the perspective.
