I've been at it for a week or so.
And I'm having some difficulty hearing the difference between a few of the letters.
I didn't think it would be a big deal, but if I try to type what the voice is spelling, I'm not doing so well.
My main problems are hearing the differences between:
h, ĥ, and o
c and s
Especially the c and s. Is there a difference?
Go easy on me please, and thanks in advance!

Rika84:s is the same as in English and c sounds like "ts"
Especially the c and s. Is there a difference?

PaulExcoff:treat the h normally ĥ is more rarely used but it's basically h with phlegm. o is like the english o in gO or slOW.Hx with phlegm is a good comparison, but potentially misleading (and messy!

ĥ sounds like when Saint Niclaus is laughing: jo jo jo, happy Christmas

o sounds like in the word compact.
c sounds ts.
s sounds like sound.
