How to study

1. Read a lesson from top to bottom and say every example aloud. Use the IPA column if you are unsure.
2. Copy the Kurdish words by hand. Writing the script is the fastest way to learn it.
3. Do the practice section before you open the answers.
4. Move on when the summary at the end of the lesson feels obvious.
