Way back in Lesson 1, we told you to pay attention to the letter BET’s shape because it will closely resemble another letter. Well, the time has come for the big reveal.
The letter KAF looks like a backwards uppercase “C.” KAF has a dot in the middle of the letter just like BET, but we remember KAF’s dot as a cough drop caught in KAF’s throat. KAF makes a “k” sound like kangaroo. KAF also has a letter twin, CHAF, which is the same backwards uppercase “C” shape as KAF but without the dot. Unfortunately, both of these letters aren’t feeling well, and while KAF has a cough drop, CHAF is coughing up a lot of phlegm and mucus. In order for CHAF to clear the phlegm from its throat, it makes a “ch” sound to do so. This “ch” sound is the same exact sound as the letter Chanukkah CHET that we learned in Lesson 5.
