Weeks 19 and 20

 The children were introduced to the final maatra: औ

Note the difference in the sound between ओ and औ


ओ makes an "o" sound like you would hear in the words: boat, rope, jello

The औ sound is closer to (but not exactly) what you would hear in words like: hot, call, saw

Here are the new words from this week:

खिलौना (toy) (khilaunaa)
मौसम (weather) (mausam)
औरत (lady) (aurat)
और (and) (aur)

कौन (who) (kaun)


We also practiced writing our "essays" for next week. The topic is At The Zoo.
