All the vowels are going to look the same, but the vowels will sound different depending on a particular consonant.
I will start you off with the consonants below. All of these consonants will go with the vowels sound in this lesson.
I will introduce other consonants and their particular vowel sounds later.
TIP: I suggest you print out this page and look at the vowel as it is being said.
