Qubee letter D

Sounds like a firm d, as in dad.

D is letter 5 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.

Teaching D to a child

Say the sound first, then let the child trace it. Tap your tongue behind your top teeth. Ask for one more word that starts with D — 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 D, hear it, pick it out of four letters, then watch the hut on the road raise its flag.
