How do you pronounce "फूल" in Hindi?
phool with a real puff after the p — no nuqta here, so it is an aspirated stop rather than an f.
phool
Aspiration adds air in front of an already long vowel, so this word runs slower than most single-syllable nouns in the course. Neither part of that length should be trimmed.

"Is phool kee khushboo bahut achchhee hai" uses kee because khushboo is feminine, and khushboo itself contains an aspirated ख. So the sentence has two aspirated stops at different places of articulation within a few syllables.
Where English speakers slip
Readers who have learned फ़ as f apply it here and say "fool," which is a genuine mispronunciation of this word. Look for the nuqta. The final l then tends to darken after the back vowel; keep the tongue tip on the ridge.
