You'll also need to know that Esperanto 'c' is [ts],
'ĉ' is 'ch' as in CHurch
'ĝ' is 'ge' as in GEorGE, or J as in Jam
'ĥ' as in Scots 'loCH'
'ĵ' as in French 'plaGE'
'ŝ' as 'sh' in 'SHine'
and 'ŭ' as 'w' in 'Went'.
and that the stressed syllable is ALWAYS the next-to-last. The principle is: one letter, one sound.
