Pronunciation challenges for हिन्दी speakers
Many हिन्दी speakers find that certain English sounds, stress patterns, or spelling cause difficulty. Common areas include: English has articles (a, an, the) — Hindi has none at all; Hindi is SOV (Subject-Object-Verb), English is SVO — completely different sentence structure; Hindi has no distinction between he and she in everyday speech; Retroflex sounds in Hindi simply do not exist in English. Focusing on these in practice—with an app like Rozy that gives feedback on your speech—helps you become clearer and more confident.
