For beginners, one of the easiest ways to learn a language is by associating letters with familiar objects, just as we do in English and Yoruba:

- English: A – Apple, B – Ball, C – Cat
- Yoruba: A – Aja, B – Bata, D – Dọ̀nè, E – Ẹjo

We will now do the same in #Ogu language.

Important Language Note

In pure Ogu language, the letters I, Ọ, and U do not begin original Ogu words.

Any word you find starting with these letters is considered borrowed or bastardised, for example:
• AGỌ̀NSÁ, not Ọ̀GỌ̀SÁ
• KỌ́GA, not ÌKỌ́GA
• IWUKU, not HUKU
