What you should understandआपको क्या समझना है?
- English v and w are different: 'vet' uses your teeth on your lip, 'wet' uses rounded lips.
- Put your tongue between your teeth for th in this and think, so 'think' does not become 'tink'.
- English t and d are made higher in the mouth than the Hindi ones, which softens 'table' and 'day'.
- Record yourself saying the pairs, listen back, and repeat only the sounds that still sound unclear.
