Qubee letter C

Sounds like a hard, glottalized tch.

C is letter 3 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.

A reference word for this letter, taken from the standard Qubee alphabet. The app's own word for C is on its way.

Teaching C to a child

Say the sound first, then let the child trace it. Say ch, catch the air in your throat, then push it out. Ask for one more word that starts with C — 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 C, hear it, pick it out of four letters, then watch the hut on the road raise its flag.
