Week 18

This week we learned a new maatraa: ऐ 
This maatraa is similar to the ए maatraa -- it goes above the letter. However instead of one line, there are two lines:

क + ए  = के 

क + ऐ = कै

Distinguish between the different sounds that these maatras make. 
The "ay" sound in के  is fairly similar to the sound you would hear in the English word "CAKE"
The "ai" sound in कै is fairly similar to the sound you would hear in the word "QUACK"

We learned the following words:

मैं (me/I) (note the dot at the top, which gives the nasal sound)

है  (is)

पैर (foot)

पैसा (money)



At this point, your child now has the skill-set to write the sentence "My name is ____ " in Hindi.

HOMEWORK:

Write the following sentence 3 times (have your child write their name in Hindi also):

 मेरा नाम _____ है। 

Write the following word 3 times:  मैं
