This video could have been much better if you add tongue articulation pic or video. Because when we pronounce 'th' sound in Hindi and English, the way we keep the tip of our tongue are slightly different.
No, both v and w exist in Hindi as व. Native speakers are unable to differentiate between those two sounds and the v or w sound is used based on context and personal preference. Example: व्रत (Vrat) and पकवान (pakWān)
@@deadalpeca8099 don't go witj the spelling. Focus on the sound. There is no 'w' sound in hindi. Upper teeth touching the lower lip produces V sound. While W is produced by making a whistling mouth.
The very thing I needed, but it helped to block out the English auto-subtitle text with something. And to do some sleuthing concerning the w / v issue. I think just exposing myself to real-world usage will fix that.
I have been speaking hindi all my life but I could never pronounce "ghe" properly because I also grew up with english. ghass (grass), ghar (house) etc. My whole family makes fun of me for it on top of not knowing the pronouns :')
I almost finished learning Hindi alphabets, and I proceeded to learn other Indian alphabets such as Punjabi, Bengali, Malayalam, Kannada, and Tamil. I think India has more languages existing within the Indian subcontinent.
veer66 Niether can she... she’s saying letters make the same sound as in English but she’s saying them completely wrong in English because that’s not at all how they sound when we say them.
The choice of Latin alphabet letters for these sounds is often not very helpful at all. She's also pronouncing her vowels in her English word examples in a heavy Indian accent ... So are those the correct vowels and are they really the best examples?
We have almost 5 types of D's in hindi......The hard D(Like Indian accent D),Hard D aspirated DH,The soft D(Like the sound of 'TH' in word 'THE' (or the russian and french accent),And the soft D aspirated.........We also have 5th D which is a mixture of D and R (We kinda roll our tongue forward)...Hope it helps
What is the point of using ENGLISH letters if you will use them in a confusing weird way? Like why would a small lette s be a SHHH sound why not write SH. The small letter s was NEVER pronounced as SH. And then big letter S is sss. So confuse even more and they spell allll the Hindi pronounciations SOOO UN phonetically..
actually THERE ARE 36 CONSUNENTS but now days in school they teach 33 CONSUNENTS . the last three are called SAYUNKT VYANJAN they are made by the normal hindi letters
@@jasonbecker8893 hayır. Hatta türkler için çok daha kolay çünkü hem Türkçede olduğu gibi ekler kelimenin sonuna geliyor, hem cümle yapısı aynı, hem de binlerce aynı kelime var ayrıca dillerin mantığıda neredeyse aynı
@@zeynepzisancaglar8229 Hintçe bir Hint-Avrupa dili değil mi? Yani zamanı durumu ayrı ayrı kelimeler temsil etmiyor mu? Ben Hintçe hiç bilmiyorum ama adı üstünde hint-avrupa dil ailesine giriyor ondan eminim. Temel ortak kelimeleri ve grameri farsça veya rusça gibi diğer hint-avrupa dilleriyle ortak olmalı. Türkçe Ural-Altay dili olduğundan Macarca Moğolca hatta fince ile benzerlikleri var.
@@zeynepzisancaglar8229 işte onu soruyorum nasıl benziyor :D benzerlik olması için aynı kökenden gelmesi lazım :D bu videodaki harflerin hiçbiri bizde yok
Kushal Pokhrel based off of my boyfriends accent, I would list it as /i/. Depending on what accent you speak with, it’s close to the sound at the end money or crazy with a general American accent. I don’t have great trying with Indian phonetics, but I do have a good grasp on general american when it comes to phonetics. Hope it helps
@@shirokun4742 no फ = is an aspirated p often written as ph फूल (phool) altough most Indians pronounce it wrong and say fool instead except east Indian I guess . F in Hindi is फ़ फ़ॅन (Fan)
These are all so great! The native speakers REALLY help! I learned Japanese Hiragana and Katakana with the lovely and talented hostess, Risa. I'm looking forward to these lessons, too!
औ sounds more like au ... first say a and u separately and then in quick succession ... more correctly say o of box and either say u of put or u of cut (so effectively this second way is saying ओ अ in quick succession and first way is saying अ उ in quick succession)
7:06 ऐ (ai) is most certainly not like -a- in hat ... it is more like -a- in face ... -a- in hat is closer to ए (e) ... much better example ऐ (ai) sound is -ay- in say
with practice and with a lot of repetition. to test for aspiration, hold your hand in front of your mouth and see if you feel a burst of air. in english we’re very prone to aspirating letters without trying. our typical K and P sounds are quite aspirated-say “cap” and “pack” and see if you can feel that. also note that our english T and D sounds are more retroflex than dental, meaning they’re closer to ट and ड than to त and द. for the latter two, try placing your tongue directly on the back of your top teeth. then experiment with how much air is coming from your mouth when you say them, and see if you can totally get rid of that air for the unaspirated versions
Yes this difference is tricky for English speakers. They should have mentioned it before hand. You will find "t" t- tin, talk, tell, tomorrow, tame, teach. Please note there is 0 aspiration here. English speakers will be new to this as they unknowingly aspirate each t in the above words. th- This is how English speakers actually sound while saying: talk. They actually aspirate the "t" and end up saying thauk. T- (this is the sound NOT present in English but is in Spanish, Italian etc). The non aspirated version of "th" in : thank, thought, thrive. It sounds similar to words : Danté... Th- aspirated version of T. Imagine saying "Thought" but with an extra force on the T ans H both. d- desk, demon, drop, down dh- Say "Kid Hey" together. Say it fast. The sound that you make between the two words is what this is. D- this is the sound in words: the, then, though, thy, there. DH- Say "the hey" but elemimate the e in 'the'. Don't extend "the" . Say "th-hey" the sound "th-h" is what we are looking for here I know it's tough but listening to hindi words will help
i haven’t spoken my language in about a year and i’ve picked up an really heavy american accent so now i cant pronounce words correctly and my family makes fun of me what do i do?
'R' from 'pakora' was not mentioned. Every time i want to say pakora in hindi, i can't. Your 'r' is not like emglish 'r'. My indian friend told me i do not pronounce correctly. I can hear the difference, but not able to do this. In this movie i do not understand the difference between n and n...
very helpful. i am trying to learn how to speak, read and write hindi. living in the US, i never learnt how and now with your youtube tutorials, i can learn how do this. I am so grateful and thankful for this. Thank you very much.
@human finisher hindi is not required in the US. i am learning out of my own interest. i am a student of hindustani classical vocal music in the US and i have ordered some music notation books from india and many of them are in devanagari script and i don't know how to read devanagari script. so, i am educating myself by watching youtube videos. i am trying to self teach myself through youtube videos how to speak hindi and i am self teach myself how to read and write devanagari script
@ human finisher there is no reason to be sarcastic. some of us don't have actual physical teachers to teach us or we don't have the time to go to one, or we live too far away to go to one. but we still have the interest to learn. therefore, learning online is our next best option.
This is confusing and not very helpful. She states that 'r' is same as English 'r', but I can hear her rolling it, different from English. Also she says 'v' is the same as English 'w', but I can hear more like an English 'v' sound.
These Language Pod 101 videos are often quite decent. They got me started with Arabic and the versions for a few other languages are helpful too. But this is definitely the worst one I’ve seen. I’d never make fun of someone’s accent to be mean, but when you are *teaching* it is very important to have at least a pretty good grasp on the language you’re teaching in / that of your audience, especially when making sound comparison and claiming that letters are “the same”. Her accent is *very* thick and she pronounces the English letters *very* differently from natives. I love the Hindi accent but this information is just wrong, misleading, and unhelpful.

It's a slight difference, but you have to listen for it. One is made with the tip of the tongue touching your top palet where your teeth meet your gums (like in the work "time"). The other sound is made by your top teeth gently touching your tongue (like in the word "the"). It's the same for "d" and "D".
I'm here trying to work on myself because I do a lot of IT stuff. And I don't want to be biased against people just because of the language they speak. But the w and v thing triggered me so hard. I need to breathe and remind myself it's just a way to communicate. God I hate being 'murican sometimes. lol
totally wrong way. You have to teach she shape of tongue and where it touches on pallet, lips shape, air pressure, teeth and tongue and from simple throat, vocal cords etc.
@@rodrigoneustadt6302I am late but I feel like a tuition cheaper than the courses they offer or free hindi lessons offered by real Indians on yt could be better than her.
