How to say it (V = top teeth on lower lip; W = round lips; TH = tongue between teeth): V: top teeth touch the lower lip (very, van). W: round the lips, no teeth (water, window). Vest ≠ west. Z buzzes like a bee (zoo, zero, busy); J is like ज (jam, joke). Zero is not 'jero'. TH: tongue lightly between the teeth. Think, thank, three (no voice) — this, that, mother (with voice). Not 'tink' or 'dis'. Sh (श) vs s (स): ship / sip, she / see. Start sk-, st-, sp- words directly: school, station, speak — not iskool, istation.
