literate in the Latin alphabet. But others could also benefit from it if they have somebody to teach them. Follow the parts as they are presented and you will be reading Afaan Oromo by the time you master the alphabet.
First introduce yourself to the names of the alphabets, in particular the vowels. The vowels sound according to their names. Knowing how to pronounce the long and short sounds are a must if you have to read texts properly. Carefully listen to a native speaker to appreciate the long and short sounds.
Pay attention too, to strong and soft sounds of consonants. Examples are given showing that standing single and doubling had significant effect on the definition of the words used. If you misspell the word “cabbi” which means hail and write “cabii” it means a curse “get broken”. Therefore it will be beneficial to understand the essence of hard and strong sounds of consonants and long and short sounds of vowels.
