Module 01
Devanagari Script
First see how Hindi writing works, then learn all the letters, vowel marks, joined letters, and how to read words. Every Hindi form includes a Latin-script reading.
One Tamil reading skill also helps in Hindi
In both Tamil and Devanagari, a consonant and a vowel mark can join to make one sound. Use that familiar idea while learning the different symbols and sounds directly.
Tamil · familiar
க + ா = கா
ka + aa sign = kaa
Hindi · new
क + ा = का
ka + aa sign = kaaUse the Tamil example to help you read the pattern, but remember that the Tamil and Hindi sounds are not always exactly the same.
