Qubee letter DH

Sounds like a glottalized d, with the tongue curled back.

DH is letter 6 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.

Butter — starts with DH

Teaching DH to a child

Say the sound first, then let the child trace it. Curl your tongue back, then pull the sound inward. Ask for one more word that starts with DH — 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 DH, hear it, pick it out of four letters, then watch the hut on the road raise its flag.
