We are now ready to start learning
how to read in Amharic. This lesson is probably one of the easiest lessons
in this program. One reason that reading in Amharic is so simple is
because we have neither vowels nor silent letters as it is the case
in English. Therefore, every single letter in a word will be pronounced
as you've heard it in the previous lessons. Furthermore, the pronunciation
of a letter will not be changed by its neighboring letters. As a result,
each letter is pronounced just the way you've heard it in Lesson 3 regardless
of what alphabet is next to it.
