Even though our language learning is going slowly we are picking up some useful phrases. We have included a few so you can give it a try!
But remember...
the “a” sounds like the “a” in father
the “e” sounds like the “e” in pet
the “i” sounds like a long “e”, as in bee
the “o” sounds like a long “o”. as in boat (only a shorter sound)
the “u” sounds like the “oo” in book
the “r” is trilled or flapped
the “j” sounds like the “y” in yet
the “š” sounds like the “sh” in ship
the “đ” sounds like the “j” in jam
the “č” sounds like the first “ch” in church
the “c” sounds like the “ts” in cats
I won’t go into declensions, or how to conjugate, or the six cases, or the gender of nouns, or which syllable gets the accent because I have not figured all that out yet.
