IMPORTANT REMARKS
I. ALPHABET
The Albanian language is spoken through the progressive pronounciation of the in-lineconsonants and vowels.
So if you know the alphabet and the stress of the word you can read albanian language.
Albanian phonetic symbols are mostly the same with international phonetic symbols. Butthere are some specifications.
Below you could s enlisted 36 Albanian letters (7 vowels and 29 consonants) and thespecifications of their correct pronounciation.
Alphabet Pronounciation
A a a arr as in fatality
B b b burr as in but
C c ts cuc as in Tsar
t adr as in chair
D d d dua as in do
DH dh dhmb as in they
E e e emr as in end or t as in a (indefinite)

K k k kam as in kp
L l l lule as in Linda
LL ll ll pull as in full
M m m marr as in man
N n n nesr as in not
NJ nj n+j nj as in onion
O o o po as in Ford
P p p pak as in past
Q q t qaj as in righteous

SPECIAL CASES
1.GJ gj = dz
the scientific symbol og Gj is .....
But it is not so strong as dz of the XH. However they are some albanians who in different
words doesnt make the difference betwn GJ and XH.2. LL ll = ll

III. CONCLUSIONS
As we have explained through the above examples we made clear how the albanian alphabetis pronounced and how the stress and the stress marks shall be used.
We will not explain in the pages to come the above mentioned.
For example:
Puthm e dashur.
Kiss me darling.
In international symbols the albanian version for kiss me darling is read: pum e daur
We are not to use international pronouncation symbols any more in the next pages.
The way we will introduce our teaching will be as follows:
albanian
Un e vler soj punn tuajenglish
I appriciate your work.
So the alphabet need to be learned attentively.
We will do our best to put the equivalent english word below the albanian word (or viceversa) that has the same meaning but you know that most of the time it is impossible.However a vocabulary situated in the end of every page will show you the meaning of all thewords encountered in that page.
This is one of the bases of our methodology that enables fast learning.
YOU must be again awared also that in the written albanian language no stress mark is usedbut we are to put stress mark in our teaching here in order to help you say it right.
