Write all characters of a word and then connect them by a horizontal line. In a notebook that line coincides with upper line (in English, all words all words touch bottom line.

No fixed rule on how you connect the lines. What is important is that the horizontal lines of all characters in a word are connected. If the lines are not connected, that indicates the beginning of an other d word.

It is however, easier to write all characters first and then draw a single continuous horizontal line to cover all the characters.

Here is an example:

Wow, very Interesting thread. This thread will be very helpful for the people who are eager to learn Hindi language. This language is not so quite easy to learn but still understanding's makes them pro's.

Hindi Lang is all about joining the Horizontal Line to make a complete word

Oh, I see....

Kinda like how if I'm writing something with "tt", I'll draw one line through both of them at once after the fact...

The biggest problem for me so far is remembering cases, gender, and that stuff. And even though my first language is English, I'm very unused to languages with stressed syllables. It's some very complicated stuff.

Oh... Sumit the answer is Alizee. I'm still not sure how to pronounce letters for sure. My sources indicate that the basic vowel that is built into consonants, and you started her name off with, is prounounced like run. Meaning that would be pronounced 'uhleezay'. Sigh... Lonely Planet BLOWS...
I can't use that tutoring site right now either from here.

Unfortunately I couldn't get much time on computer for last few weeks. Since I have 3 days off, so I can try to do more.

I think that spelling of Alizée written by Sumit is not correct. It should have been

अलिजे

and not अलीजे

The first one is Alize and second one is Aleeze.


<hr>
<hr>

Just for the reference of everyone :

In Hindi there were vowels, consonants and modifiers. You can see those here.


- It is first vowel. It's pronunciation is same as of run or ugly.

- Same as a in car.

- Same as i in Alizé. It's short.

- Same as ea in clean. It's longer than i and more stressed.

- Same as u in Cuckoo, Just like i it's short and less stressed.

- Same as oo in Cuckoo. Longer and more stressed just like ee.

<hr>
<hr>

Then in every word, each consonant combines with vowels and/or other consonants. Consonants can't be without a vowel in a word. However vowels can be used alone in a word. You can see how the consonants are said. The image below gives an idea about that.



The symbols which you see in the brackets are used when a consonant combines with a vowel.

For ex - let us understand the formation of the word Alizée.

First letter is A. It's sound matches with


Then there is li. L is a consonant and it has a vowel i attached to it. The sound of l matches with (see the figure) and the symbol which is used when i combines with consonant makes it लि

After that we have zée, which is said like ze or je. For that sound consonant in Hindi is and for e the symbol given in figure is used with it to produce : जे

That's how we get अलिजे

MA I hate to be a pain, but I can't see devanagari, or any other Indo-aryan writing system, on these computers. In fact, the only languages these computers CAN display besides Latin-Greco-Cyrillic are Arabic and derivatives. And writing down the pronnciation of a letter doesn't really actually help much. I'd have to hear it. But thanks for trying, but I just can't learn it now, I'll hvae to wait til I have better resources.
