Today we cover some basic words. We are basing our lessons on a book that was meant to teach Hindi speaking children English. So, they have selected some English words that have each of the English vowels, i.e. a, e, i, o, u. Today we are covering the words in the “a” and “e” section.
words is शब्द (shabd). Now in order to make sure it shows up correctly on everyone’s computer, and to make it bigger, I am also going to include the Hindi words as images. Please let me know what you think.
Words = (shabd)
hat = हैट (pronounced “heit” in the transliteration scheme that we have been using, but the same as “hat” in English)
cat = बिल्ली (billii)
bat = बल्ला (ballaa)
mat = चटाई (chataaii)
van = मोटरगाड़ी(motargaardii)
fan = पंखा (pankhaa)
bed = पलंग (palang)
net = जाल (jaal)
leg = टाँग (taang)
pen = कलम (kalam)
bell = घंटा(ghantaa)
hen = मुर्गी (murgii)
You will be able to understand these lessons more if you have the Kid’s Primer. We are giving this book to people that donate $25 or more to support the site. To find out more read http://www.ispeakhindi.com/2008/06/26/260-kids-primer-intro/

    As i am joining you now for about a week i really had to go fast through the other sessions. To prepare the lessons now this way with bigger letters makes it much easier to get the devanagri spelling of the words. May be it is much more work for you, but it is perfect now. So thank you very much to all the teachers of you.

    Actually tutoring would be something very special on this site!

    Greetings, Elaettin
