Qubee letter NY

Sounds like like the Spanish ñ, as in onion.

NY is letter 17 of the 31 Qubee letters of Afaan Oromo. It is one letter with one sound, so a child learns it once and traces it as one shape.

Teaching NY to a child

Say the sound first, then let the child trace it. Press the middle of your tongue up and say ny. Ask for one more word that starts with NY — a name in the family counts — and the letter becomes a game rather than a lesson.

In the app the whole stop takes a minute or two: trace NY, hear it, pick it out of four letters, then watch the hut on the road raise its flag.
