Review Summary

  • A-E-I-O-U
  • d -> r between vowels

اشتباهات رایج

Learners often forget the D to R shift. It is essential for natural speech.

Wrong: Pronouncing 'd' as 'd' even between vowels.
صحیح: Changing 'd' to 'r' between vowels (e.g., 'dito' -> 'rito').

Missing the stop makes words sound flat. It is a vital phonetic marker.

Wrong: Ignoring the glottal stop.
صحیح: Adding a tiny pause in the throat.

Treating it like 'n' plus 'g' is incorrect; it is one distinct phoneme.

Wrong: Treating 'ng' as two separate sounds.
صحیح: Pronouncing 'ng' as one single nasal sound.

Next Steps

You've laid the groundwork for fluency. Keep practicing those sounds!
