big confusion, when you three speak it out..its really not the same every time.
i mentionned this some time ago. the pronounciation of those ‘ta’ ‘tha’ ttha, ‘da’, dha, etc….are not really clear and similar spoken out..
mostly it gets confusion when mr. netan is pronouncing those sounds…
i am terrible, as i really do not want to offend someone..only for the pronounciation of those letters it is very very tough for us in the west..and there should be not so many confusion.
otherwise: THANKS TO YOU ALL! I FOLLOW THE PROGRAM WITH GREAT PLEASURE

Yes, it can be a big problem hearing and saying the difference between ट ठ त थ and ड ढ द ध. I think those are the hardest to hear the difference for. Did you have some suggestions on hearing the difference? Can you hear how Mrs. Meena and Mr. Naraindas say it?
All the letters up to ह have already been recorded. I will not be able to update them. But we might have some special *consonant confusion* episodes to cover these letters. I can get many more Hindi speakers to participate. Do you have some suggestions on how to cover these letters?
