Ashley
Oh mew mean like dere'z only 12 letfurz in da language & 5 of dem are vowelz?
Andy
Dat'z rite & dependinz on da ordfur dey'z in dey getz purrnounced diffurently.
So here'z da letfurz to noze ..... H,K,L,M,N,P & W plus da vowelz A,E,I,O
& U.
Amos
Andy don't furget dat da ordfur of da vowelz izn't da only fing dat can change
how dey'z purrnounced. If dere'z a "macron" {lookz like a wavy bar}
ovfur a vowel den it getz held longfur & getz more emphasis.
Andy
Mew'z rite Amos but in our class we can only showz da macron ovfur da "a"
& "o". We haz to uze an asterick{*} next to da "e","i"
& "u" if dey haz a macron anytime.
Amos
Dere'z sevfural othfur fingz dat'd be good to learnz but we can't get into it
all in dis session.
Amos
