That's the reason why my first two posts about the alphabet were structured the way they were. My first "lesson" presented exclusively letters that looked and sounded the same (or about the same) as in English (or as in most languages that use the roman alphabet, really), while the second presented letters that looked familiar but sounded like other letters we know (typically "B" sounds like our "v"). Senex' examples illustrate just that, except for the "X" that I had not included because the sound doesn't exist in English (although you can find something pretty close in German, for instance). But that would be for another lesson, LOL

Btw, I had postponed the posting of the next parts to the Cyrillic alphabet series because no one was around really, but if no one minds, I could get back to it by the end of the week :-)
