Call me crazy but LMNOP stands on the shoulders of HiJK. Give my boy at least a B
My thoughts exactly. You need a build up for a drop to really hit which HIJK carries with beauty and grace
It’s the ladders on the slide.
Hard disagree on WXYZ. C tier. Maybe B tier at best.
I’d knock down even further than that, tbh.
C at best.
I have bad news on how it’s taught now
The “updated” alphabet song need not be mentioned
(May have to unmute)
Just how I remember learning it in elementary school.
LMNOP feels like you’re going down a slide.
I will dare to mention the new version; LMNOP is knocked down a peg because those bastards have confused young children for centuries! The new king is XYZ, especially with that non-letter &.
Forget that Mozart played the original melody in the Twelve Variations!
That said, shout out to the rollercoaster one Simple Songs did. I am partial to their ABCDEFGH.
I like wxyz in french. I took french like 30 years ago but the alphabet was sticky and still gets lodged in my brain sometimes due to the last bit.
(This is phonetics/pronunciation, ofc, same melody)
Doobluh-vay (double v), eeks (x, but you saw a mouse), eegrek (???), zed (zed sounds much cooler than zee, which ironically sounds more French to me)
Hands down the best part of the French alphabet.
I’m Italian and the letters sounds similar to French: doppia vu, ics, ipsilon, zeta. But the standard Italian alphabet only has 21 letters, and w, x and y are not part of the alphabet (together with j and k).
By the way, the name of “y” in French means “greek i”
I think the British use zed also don’t they?
When I learned German alphabet Y is _epsilon _…
Had a kid recently… They changed the song so LMNOP isn’t so rapid fire for new babies
How secondhand do the babies have to get before it speeds back up?
QRSTUV being ranked so low is purely a skill/commitment issue. You’ve gotta hit that shit with gusto, stick your chest out and enunciate every letter like it’s Les Mis or a military march. KYOO! ARRRR! ESSSSSS! TEEEEEEYOOOOOUVEEEE.
It’s one of your few opportunities to hit a nice, long, steady stride.
Wow, another “ee” sound purist huh?
I want to see how other languages put this. People pronounce the letters slightly different from one language to the next.
I think WXYZ is the best part of the French alphabet. Doublavay, Eeks, Eegrek, et Zed
Pretty sure elemenopee is universally S-tier in all languages.
