Easy Pronunciation: How to Read the Book

The pronunciation guide is written so an English speaker can read it out loud directly. Numbers stand in for sounds English does not have: 3 = the deep ‘ayn sound, 7 = a strong breathy h, kh = as in Scottish “loch”, gh = a soft gargled r.

Stress the syllable written in the guide, keep the vowels short, and do not worry about a perfect accent — patients understand clear, simple speech.
