As you're beginning to see, you can read full sentences once you have your sounds down! In order to use the lessons and handouts to your best ability, we recommend practicing your sounds before moving on to the next sections.
ALSO!
You may have noticed, but there are no silent letters in Mvskoke--if it is written, it is said. This becomes important later when you see words with two of the same letter next to each other (as in "cesse" or "rakko") or words that have H's in them (like "tasahce").
