The biggest problem I have is the combination of two syllables without using the connector sign. There are hundreds of possible combinations! I wonder if Indian children learn those hundred combinations in elementary school, or even kindergarten. arh... well, I'll learn anyway. just takes some time.

@VobisPacem Actually it's not that difficult as you say. I know what you mean though. The most important is to learn the irregular conjunctions such that involve conjunctions with ru/roo etc. The easiest way to learn these things is to read a Hindi text that comes along with Devanagari and its English transliteration and it happens AUTOMATICALLY.

Hi, I've just started learning Hindi and seriously struggle to differentiate the sounds in for example the pronunciation of ka and kha, or da and dha. Have you any tips as to how to get round this, or is it simply a matter of practice and gradually familiarising oneself with the language?

[CrazyLassi]

@firestormrex Everything is possible with a little bit of practice. If it seems complex, I would suggest to leave the sounds alone and move on to other things like Hindi phrases and vocabulary. Also, as a foreigner you are allowed to do pronunciation mistakes in the beginning and you'll still be understood according to the context. I would also suggest watching a lot of Hindi movies or Hindi news to get used to all the different sounds, and then you'll be pronouncing correctly without knowing.

thanks for this upload brother....was wondering if u could help me with a question...

what is the difference between the letter "ष" and "श"... do they both make the "sh" sound or is there a slight difference?

[CrazyLassi]

@chrissomerry LOL I guess I'm one of those people who look at you as if you're describing a medical condition, although I too like language books (although I'm just an amateur).

[chrissomerry]

@CrazyLassi Thanks for the reply, I guess I'll have to listen over and over again until I can get the right sound ;) (by "bv" I meant making a small bilabial fricative sound after the b, but I didn't want to use my pseudo-linguistics vocab since most people I mention that stuff to look at me like I'm describing a medical condition :P). Cheers again!
