Hello everyone, welcome back!

I hope you have studied the previous lessons well. As you know, we are so close to the end of part one, which is learning the vowels and letters. I request you to try hard to get fluent in recognizing the letters and pronouncing them with the help of the vowels if you haven’t done it before. After part one is over, we will begin to combine the letters to make single words. Then, we will start combining the words to make sentences. You see, we have got lots of things to do later. Therefore, we may not have enough time to come back to these basics again. That’s why I am asking you on and on to learn these basics first, which will enable us to move faster during our next lessons.

Now let’s begin.
