The tough letters

Somali shares most of its letters with Arabic; if you can pronounce Arabic characters, you should be able to pronounce Somali ones without difficulty.The tough letters to pronounce are 'c', 'q', 'x', 'kh', 'dh'.  'c' corresponds to the Arabic letter ع , 'q' toق'x' to  خ   to    'kh'   ح 

Use the video above to get a feel for the sounds of the letters. (Note: the sound 'kh' was not pronounced correctly)
