Hate to sound dumb, but I'm struggling with pronouncing the words. I cant remember what sounds all of the letters make, and I'd like to learn words.
How do I know how to pronounce words?  ???

I am going to try and learn the alphabet but I find learning words easier. Like I can say a few phrases in French but couldnt tell you any of the alphabet.

Help me please. :D

Not sounding dumb at all. Pronunciation is one of the biggest issues.it is hard, if not impossible to teach phonetics via text on a forum. best bet would be to use a VoIP program such as Skype or Teamspeak to chat with someone who does know Na'vi phonetics. There are decent videos on youtube that one of our members, Ftiafpi, made. ( Na'vi Pronuncation Guide #1 - Part 1 ) ( Na'vi Pronuncation Guide #1 - Part 2 ) ( Na'vi Pronuncation Guide #2 )

there is also a word list with audio on it. ( http://www.tyger.org/~tiger/navi/wordlist.php?filterlevel=1 )

please check out the audio board. ( http://forum.learnnavi.org/audio )
