English Alphabet
Learn the 26 letters of the English alphabet with phonics, example words, and Nepali equivalents.
Why Learn English Alphabet with Nepali?
The English alphabet consists of 26 letters (A-Z) - 5 vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and 21 consonants. For Nepali-speaking children, learning English letters alongside their native Devanagari script builds dual-language literacy from an early age.
Each letter in this guide is presented with its phonics sound, a visual example word, and where applicable, the Nepali equivalent sound. This approach helps children bridge both writing systems - for example, the English “K” makes the same sound as Nepali “क”. Once children master the English alphabet, they can move on to English numbers and basic reading.

How to Teach English Letters to Nepali Kids
- Start with the ABC song. The classic English alphabet song sets the letter sequence in memory before formal learning begins.
- Teach uppercase first, then lowercase. Uppercase letters have more distinct shapes and are easier for young children to recognize and write.
- Connect to Nepali sounds. When teaching 'B', point out it makes the same sound as Nepal's 'ब' (Ba). This cross-language connection accelerates learning. Compare with Nepali Alphabet →
- Use phonics, not letter names. Teach children the sound each letter makes ('buh' for B, 'kuh' for K) rather than just the letter name ('bee', 'kay'). Phonics enables reading.
- Practice with English number words once letters are known. Reading 'one', 'two', 'three' combines letter recognition with counting skills. Learn English Numbers →
