This section is for those who learn better by listening. We are gearing this section to offer more audio. The plan is to get more audio so you can listen to people speak it. Introductions, everyday words or survival words, salutations, stories. We plan on adding more and more!
Audio for Alphabet
To hear how to make the sound, click on each letter. At the bottom are audio to hear the alphabet sounds and the alphabet words associated with the letter.
The alphabets below have audio that will play when you click them. One has audio for just the letter sound. The other audio will play the audio for the word at the bottom of each letter.
This alphabet chart will play the word only.
