Week 5

  This week we learned about the letter इ , and how it is used in words.
  When a word starts with इ , you write the letter as you normally would (just as you would if a word starts with अ  or आ ). However if इ is in the middle or at the end of the word, then it becomes the "ChhoTii i kii maatra"

क + इ  = कि 

ब + इ = बि 

Please emphasize to your child the pronunciation of "इ ". It is the short "i" sound, like in the English words "bill" or "hit"
Please make sure your child doesn't make the longer "ee" sound that is in words like "key" and "bee"

Today we learned the following words:

दिन (din)  (day)
दिल (dil)   (heart)
किताब (kitaab) (book)
पिता (pitaa)  (father)
गिलास (gilaas) (glass)
चिड़िया (chiRiyaa)  (bird)
दिया (diyaa)  (diya)

For homework, ask your child to say the following sentences in Hindi:

1) The day is good

2) My heart is big

3) That book is black

4) My father is not small

5) This glass is cold

6) That bird is pretty

7) This diya is hot
