How do you pronounce... What is the difference in Ka and Kh. Like kh]ana and ka]rna. There are more i have a hard time pronouncing but mostly when the "h'' is the 2nd letter.. kh--ka gha--ga jha--ja tha--ta dha--da pha--pa bha--ba The way i say them it sounds just alike. These are just a few i can think of. Does this make any sense?

they are different alphabets!! like a, b, c, d; to be precise, consonants. they are pronounced differently take e.g. ghar -home i go to home - main ghar jaata hoon if u pronounce it 'gar', entire meaning would change i will be -"if i go(it will be sounding a like of urdu poetry)", ofcourse it is understandable, but only if the context is known u say pal instead of phal, again u are saying something totaly different. pal- moment phal - fruit. I can put more such type of examples. In Urdu, according to the book i read to learn it, writer called them 'heavy sounds'. because u have to pronounce ha in the end. so simple k + ha = kha. for example in chemistry, calm, it is simple 'k', but in english accent i have heard it manys time that they say 'come' like 'kham' (there is k is like kh sound as well). better u listen to them (in google translate), they are different alphabets, should be pronounced distinctly. and practice, they are not so hard. :)
