Hello everybody, | |||

*The Esperanto alphabet: a b c ĉ d e f g ĝ h ĥ i j ĵ k l m n o p r s ŝ t u ŭ v z | |||
Note that the names of the letters (used when spelling aloud, etc.) are a, bo, co, ĉo, do, e, fo, go, ĝo, ho, ĥo, i, etc. | |||
That is, the consonants get an ’o’ after them, and the name of each vowel is the sound of the vowel itself. | |||
Note that "ŭo" is pronounced sort of like English ’wo’. | |||
There are 26 letters in the English alphabet; 28 in Esperanto. | |||
In Esperanto there is no q, w, x, or y. In Esperanto there are 6 letters not found in English (all 6 have accent marks): ĉ, ĝ, ĥ, ĵ, ŝ [all circumflexes], and ŭ [a u-breve]. | |||
The Esperanto letters ’j’ and ’ŭ’ are not vowels and can combine with real vowels (a, e, i, o, and u) to make ’vowel glides’ which must be learned as separate sounds (below). | |||
<code>Pronunciation Guide: Remember, in Esperanto: one letter - one sound. No exceptions.</code> | |||
