Phonics!

I’m taking a Swahili class and it’s awesome!

In particular, I’m loving the bits about linguistics. I’m really enjoying all the classifications of sounds and phonemes, especially “ng” (ŋ) and “ny” (ɳ).

These two sounds are challenging for me so I’m doing a lot of practice. Turns out ŋ is in English too, so this is definitely helping me distinguish “thin” from “thing”.
