I tried to learn it and basically it helps if you at least know the sounds of H letters/consonants which throw off English speakers. mh or bh = V, ch = sloppy

mh or bh = V, ch = sloppy och "loch" (means lake) rhymes with Bach, dh and gh = guttural G, fh = silent.
- dmurray 3y agoGood start but mh and bh can also be W, dh and gh can also be Y or silent. I'd add: ph = F, sh = H, th = H or silent.
- dghughes 3y agoYeah dialects throw a monkey wrench into it I think some bh can be V or W. Maybe concentrating on a specific dialect may help with learning. Maybe that was my problem if I though it was W and then V and then W again.
