Lesson Content: वर्णों का उच्चारण और पहचान

Objective:

• To understand the correct pronunciation of Hindi vowels (स्वर) and consonants (व्यंजन).
• To recognize and identify each letter of the Hindi alphabet.
• To practice the proper articulation of sounds to improve reading and speaking fluency.
• To improve language fundamentals

Lesson Structure:

1. Introduction to Hindi Vowels (स्वर) and Consonants (व्यंजन)

In this lesson, we will learn about the two primary types of letters in the Hindi language: स्वर (vowels) and व्यंजन (consonants).

• स्वर (Vowels): Vowels are sounds that are produced without any obstruction of airflow in the vocal tract. The Hindi vowels are:

  • अ, आ, इ, ई, उ, ऊ, ए, ऐ, ओ, औ, अं, अः

• व्यंजन (Consonants): Consonants are sounds produced with some obstruction of the airflow in the vocal cords or by articulating with the mouth. The Hindi consonants include:

  • क, ख, ग, घ, च, छ, ज, झ, ट, ठ, ड, ढ, त, थ, द, ध, प, फ, ब, भ, म, य, र, ल, व, श, ष, स, ह, ज्ञ

2. Correct Pronunciation of Vowels (स्वर)

• Activity 1: Listen and Repeat
  In this section, you will listen to the correct pronunciation of each vowel and repeat after it. Practice until you are able to pronounce them correctly.
  Example:

  • अ = /a/
  • आ = /aa/
  • इ = /i/
  • ई = /ee/
  • उ = /u/

• Pronunciation Tips for Vowels:

  • अ sounds like ‘a’ as in “America.”
  • आ sounds like ‘aa’ as in “father.”
  • इ sounds like ‘i’ as in “bit.”
  • ई sounds like ‘ee’ as in “see.”

3. Correct Pronunciation of Consonants (व्यंजन)

• Activity 2: Listen and Repeat
  Here, you will practice the pronunciation of each consonant. Focus on the correct articulation of each sound.
  Example:

  • क = /ka/
  • ख = /kha/
  • ग = /ga/
  • घ = /gha/

• Pronunciation Tips for Consonants:

  • क is pronounced as “k” in “kite.”
  • ख is pronounced as “kh” in “khaki.”
  • ग is pronounced as “g” in “go.”
  • घ is pronounced as “gh” as in “ghost.”

4. Identifying Vowels and Consonants

• Activity 3: Categorize the Letters
  In this activity, you will categorize letters into vowels (स्वर) and consonants (व्यंजन).

  • Example:
    • अ, आ, इ are vowels.
    • क, ख, ग are consonants.

  Instructions:

  • Select the letter from the list below and place it under the correct category.
    • अ, क, म, आ, न, ई, च

5. Word Formation Practice

• Activity 4: Form Simple Words
  Learn to combine consonants and vowels to form simple words.

  • Example 1:
    • क + आ = का
    • ग + ई = गी
  • Example 2:
    • म + आ = मा
    • ब + अ = बा
