Study the Hmong Alphabet – Practice Reading Hmong – Video #5 P

Educational chart labeled consonant p with rows of letter combinations and sample words, alongside a portrait of a smiling woman. A pink panel at the bottom right reads StudyHmong.com and #5.

HOW IT WORKS:

In this lesson you will hear her pronounce vowel sounds, consonant + vowel words without tones, and sentence examples including tones.

In this lesson you will hear her ‘spell’ according to a common Hmong way for spelling. She will say the consonant, the vowel, then say them together. After that she will say the name of the tone marker and pronounce the same word again, but with the tone this time. It takes some getting used to, but you will get the hang of it. The names of the tones are as follows:

  • j – cim ntuj
  • b – cim siab
  • g – cim neeg
  • s – cim mus
  • m – cim niam
  • v – cim kuv
  • d – cim tod
