Pronunciation of Swar Vyanjan - Swar 2

This is the second post on the requested topic of the pronunciation of Hindi alphabets and words. I am uploading the pictorial worksheets based on varnamala – Swar.

The words corresponding with each alphabet (Swar) are easy to follow with symbols. These symbols are just for extra information to help you understand the sound of these alphabets/words.

I have tried to make the pronunciation simple with the help of IPA/ Transliteration symbols.

I am hoping that these pictorial worksheets would be helpful in teaching the kids how to pronounce the Hindi words.

If you are visiting my blog and feel that the worksheets are useful for your kids, then please hit the follow button and leave a comment. I would love to have feedback. Happy teaching!!!

Primary school - Swar Vyanjan - Matra Visarg (अ:)

The origin of vowel अ: is from Brahmi. It is used as a matra with Swar and Vyanjan but is not written in its original form like other vowels like अं,आँ ….

Matra of अ: appears frequently in Sanskrit texts/words. Sanskrit words (तत्सम शब्द) which often appear in Hindi  have matra of अ:.

·  Matra of अ: resembles the punctuation mark colon (:). So it should not be confused with the colon.

·    Pronunciation of अ: is ‘ah’ or ‘ih’ preceding the vowel.

   eg.-

     देव: - दे + व् + अ + अ: - देव:      (ah)

             ईश: - ई + श् + अ + अ: - ईश:     (ah)

            गुरु: - गु + र् + उ + अ: - गुरु:       (u ah)

            मति: - म + त् + इ + अ: - मति:  (ih)

I am uploading worksheets with some information about the use of vowel 'अ:'. Hope it is helpful to parents and kids to understand the matra of ‘Visarg'.

Happy teaching!!!!!

   

               

 

Primary School (Class 4,5,6) - 2 Swar, Vyanjan, Matra

In every language, the correct pronunciation of words is very important. Hindi is not like English where words come from different languages and have different pronunciations. In Hindi, we write what we pronounce, so if we pronounce a word correctly we would write it correctly.

Children should be encouraged to read books, consult dictionaries. These habits improve their vocabulary, spellings and help them in creative writing too.

In Hindi Varnmala certain alphabets and matras need special attention, e.g. अं/अँ, ड/ढ, ड/ड़, ड़/ढ़, ओ/औ, ए/ऐ, उ/ऊ ….

I am uploading the worksheets for Primary school kids. It  would be an interesting exercise for elders too.

Such a variety of exercises not only helps kids to be observant but they keep revising the varnamala (alphabets) and matras.

Happy teaching !!!!!

In pictorial Varnamala 2 – Vyanjan, each alphabet has more than one picture identifying with one particular varna (alphabet) and kids should be encouraged to probe and find more objects as it not only improves their vocabulary but also improves their observation power.

Primary school (Class 1,2,3) – 1 Swar, Vyanjan, Matra

This section of worksheets has jumbled up words and kids have to separate the words as per the instructions given in the sheets.

 These graded worksheets are designed keeping in view that group learning is very effective as it enables kids to improve their thinking skills, motivates them to work in a team, develop communication skills.

Now is the time for the parents/tutors to have patience with little- ones and encourage them to tackle the exercises on their own without fear of failure.

Kids are very observant and once they succeed with one or two exercises rest would be very easy for them to tackle.

Such variety of exercises not only helps them to be observant but they keep revising the varnamala (alphabets) and matras.

I have uploaded some worksheets here in image form, for more such printable worksheets in pdf format please feel free to get in touch. Happy teaching !!!!!
