<p>

don't be stressed, you don't have to pronounce the letters
|
|
|
|
<em>exactly</em> as i say, you can pronounce things slightly differently
|
|
|
|
if it feels natural - for example, you could soften your p, t, and k
|
|
|
|
sounds into b, d, and g sounds!
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
oh and also, you always have to stress the first syllable of every word.
