 In this post is the reading matter of ए- e [e:] and ऐ – ai [ɛ:]  matra words and sentences with IPA symbols to help non-Hindi speaking kids.

 ए – e / [e:] is as the sound of short  “e” in  egg,  bed,  merry or "a" in  age,  aim,     came (short vowel)

I repeat again while helping the kids to read, keep the following two points in mind....

·       👀Many consonants which are part of the Hindi language do not exist in English. ड़/ढ़ are difficult to pronounce in English.

·    👀   Following consonants with a नुक्ता (dot) under the alphabet is part of Urdu and Persian words. eg. क़लाम, ख़ान, ग़ैर जहाज़, ज़ीरा, फ़नकार

           क़      ख़      ग़      ज़      फ़     ड़      ढ़
