More about Do

Do is two, and it is easy to confuse with To, the friendly you, because the two words differ by one letter. The hook in the course is simple: Do is two, To with a t is you. In the count you say yek, do, se. Before a thing it takes ta, so two teas is do ta chai. It is taught in Module 3, lesson 1, with the rest of the numbers from one to three. Read it as Finglish with a short, pure o, not like the English word "do", and you will not mix it up with other lines that look similar.
