World Language tutorial Lesson 1

Text

• In eserto, each letter has only one pronunciation.
• The vowels are "a", "E", "I", "O", and "U". The pronunciation is as follows:
  A: [a] "A" in English "father"
  I:
  [I] Like "ee" in English "street"
  O: [O] "O" in English ""
  U: [U] "oo" in English "Boot"
• The pronunciation of consonants will be explained in the subsequent textbooks.
• Nouns (things or things, such as horses, birds, flowers, tables, etc.) always end with "O.
• Adjectives (words that modify things or things, such as good, beautiful, and big) always end with ".
• Title: only the definite title "La" is equivalent to "the" in English, and there is no definite title.

When talking about "a flower" and "a table", there is no need for titles or quantifiers.

Floro: a flower

La Floro: This (that) Flower

Tablo: A table

La tablo: This (that) Table

A verb represents the State or action of a thing or thing. When a State or action occurs now, the verb ends with ".

　

Estas: Yes

La Floro estas Bela: This flower is beautiful.

La tablo estas Granda:
This table is big.

The tense verb "as" does not distinguish the personal pronoun.

The stress of all words always falls in the penultimate chapter.
