ਹ (Haha) is the fifth letter of the Gurmukhi alphabet. It’s a breathy consonant — a gentle puff of air, like the ‘h’ at the start of “hello.”
How to teach a 4-year-old
Big animals are great for ਹ. Show a picture of an elephant (ਹਾਥੀ) and say “ਹ … ਹਾਥੀ”. Have your child put a hand in front of their mouth — they’ll feel the puff of air when they say the h sound. Other ਹ-words to try: ਹੱਥ (hath — hand), ਹਿਰਨ (hiran — deer).
