Try reading these few sentences that use the letter
,
"ya." Later, we'll start to put the different letters together.
You should know by now that the reason the letter
,
"ya," is not used in "many" and "hungry" is that Devanagari
is phonetic; even though these words contain the English letter, "y," they do
not contain the "y" sound.
See,
, "ya," is
starting to look similar to the English letter, "y." More importantly, it should
start to look like it makes the "ya" sound. Read these sentences several times,
until
starts to scream out
the "ya" sound.
