SUMMARY I am using GCompris 0.81 on Linux Mint 19.3, with German localization. In the activities about clicking on letters, the used sounds unfortunately contain the "letter names". For learning to read, the *phonemes* of the letters should be played instead, e.g. [m] instead of [em], [k] instead of [ka], ... ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I already filed this in 2009 as https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576781 . A similar issue is https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=262015 .
Hi, This is technically not a bug, this activity (as currently all our activities to learn letters) are meant by design to learn letters name, not their pronunciation. For learning phonemes, we would need to create a specific different activity. Though this is quite tricky for several reasons: -in most languages, the same letter can have different pronunciation, so it would need some kind of combination of letters to give context. -even with combination of letters, some languages (even in English) have lots of exceptions so it may not work. -recording sets of all possible combinations for all possible cases for all supported languages is a lot of work, and would make the voices sets as much heavier. -making such activity to work good in an international way is surely not an easy task (it is actually already hard with just letters for some languages, I can't imagine how messy it could be if we try to cover phonemes too).
