Qubee letter B

Sounds like a soft b, as in body.

B is letter 2 of the 31 Qubee letters of Afaan Oromo. It is one letter with one sound, so a child learns it once and traces it as one shape.

Coffee — starts with B

Teaching B to a child

Say the sound first, then let the child trace it. Press your lips together and let the sound pop. Ask for one more word that starts with B — a name in the family counts — and the letter becomes a game rather than a lesson.

In the app the whole stop takes a minute or two: trace B, hear it, pick it out of four letters, then watch the hut on the road raise its flag.
