Now that we are able to recognize all the consonants & vowels and also to read a few simple words, the next step is to be able to combine the consonants and vowels to make different sounds.
Before starting this lesson, I want you to open the table with Nepali Consonants on one side and vowels on the other. You can either print them in 2 separate pages, if you have 2 monitors, open them in each monitor or if you have only 1 monitor, you can use the split screen function as I do. The idea is to be able to see both consonants & vowels at the same time so that you can see what I am talking about.
