Week 3

  Today we started learning words with the आ  (aah) sound in them. When a word starts with आ , the full letter आ  is used.
For example:

आज (aaj) (today)
आग (aag) (fire)

 However, when the "aah" sound is used in either the middle or the end of the word, then it is written as a "maatraa". You drop the "अ " part of the letter, and keep the "ा " part.

 So क+आ+न would be written as कान 
ल+आ+ल would be written as लाल 

Here are the 10 words we learned today:

आज (aaj) (today)
आग (aag) (fire)
लाल (laal) (red)
काला (kaala) (black)
बाल (baal) (hair)
हाथ (haath) (hand)
दाल (daal) 
कान (kaan) (ear)
नाक (naak) (nose)
चार (chaar) (four)

We practiced  making sentences with the above words in the format:
The __(noun)___ is ___(adjective)___
The __(noun___ isn't ___(adjective)___

For homework this week, show your child the following pictures, and ask them to tell you what the picture is in Hindi. Then ask speak a basic sentence with the word.
