November 2

Today, we learned 

1. Gujarati vowels are expressed using special marks called matras that attach to consonants, modifying their sound. For example, adding the AA matra (ા) changes મ (ma) to મા (maa), while the EE matra (ી) changes મ (ma) to મી (mee)

Matras can appear above, after, before, or below a consonant and often change the word’s meaning. Learning matras enables correct pronunciation and reading fluency; for instance, મન ("man"/mind) vs. માન (respect) 

2. We did perform Mathematics using Gujarati numerals

Homework:

1. Learn 5 new Gujarati sentences

2. Write Gujarati Sentences in English. Example : Mane Ungh Ave che ( I am sleepy )

3. Revise Gujarati Alphabets
