Unlock the Magic of Ľ, Š, and Č: Cool Slovak Letters Kids Adore
Slovak has some awesome letters you won’t find in English like Ľ, Š, and Č. These special characters may look a little strange at first, but kids love how they sound and feel once they get the hang of them!
What Makes These Letters Special?
Each of these Slovak letters makes a unique sound:
- Ľ ľ – a soft “ly” sound, like in ľad (ice)
- Š š – sounds like “sh” in shoe, as in šaty (dress)
- Č č – like “ch” in chocolate, as in čo (what)
These sounds are common in everyday words, so learning them helps kids speak naturally and clearly right from the start.
Why Kids Love These Letters
Children enjoy trying new sounds especially ones that feel fun in their mouths! Slovak’s special letters also show up in songs, games, and names, so they feel familiar fast.
In Dinolingo’s Slovak course, kids hear these sounds in context, repeat them in playful exercises, and quickly grow confident using them.
