Lesson 14

 Today we learned the next maatraa: ओ (The "o" sound)

क + ओ = को र + ओ = रो We then learned the following words with the ओ maatraa: घोड़ा (ghoRaa) (horse) चोर (chor) (thief) मोर (mor) (peackock) छोटा (CchoTaa) (small) मोटा (moTaa) (fat) टोपी (Topii) (hat)

We reviewed the word हो "ho". If a present tense sentence starts with "tum", it would end with "ho". You are red = tum laal ho

Lesson 13

 We learned and reviewed the ऐ maatraa. 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 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)

We also learned to write the sentence: "My name is ____"

Please make sure your child knows how to write their name in Hindi.

मेरा नाम ______ है

Lesson 12

 Today we learned the ए maatraa. The ए maatraa goes above the consonant:

क + ए = के म + ए + र + आ = मेरा We learned the following words: मेरा / मेरी (meraa / merii) (my) केला (kelaa) (banana) पेट (pet) (stomach) शेर (sher) (lion) पेड़ (peR) (tree) सेब (apple) अकेला (lonely, alone) A note about मेरा / मेरी: मेरा is used if what belongs to you is masculine. मेरी is used if what belongs to you is feminine. Merii maa Meraa laRkaa
