How to Make them Understand Words?

Once the children understand these basic words, they step towards combining different words with different sounds. For instance, अ+ा+म = आम, क+त+ा+र = कतार and many more words like these with different sounds. This activity will help them differentiate between the long and short tone sounds and help them learn the new terms.

Stepping forward, after the learning and recognition process, one must be taught how to write these words. The formation of different consonants and sounds must be taught peculiarly. Another activity through which kids can learn Hindi language is by teaching them other poems and songs in Hindi.

Moreover, through quizzes and word activities, one can teach and learn Hindi language easily. Moreover, by playing word games with children and through the pictures in the surroundings, they can easily adapt to the language.
