Reading Hindi with IPA symbols - Preparatory/Primary school - ए- e [e:] , ऐ – ai [ɛ:]

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

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

      - ai / [ɛ:] as the sound of  long  "a" in  at,  attic (Long 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. क़लामख़ानग़ैर जहाज़ज़ीराफ़नकार

           क़      ख़      ग़      ज़      फ़     ड़      ढ़

          [q]     [x]      [ɣ]     [z]      [f]     [ɽ]    [ɽʱ]    (IPL)
