Low Class Practice
These rules are a bit harder than the middle and high class rules so make sure you know those 2 classes really well before worrying about this class.
Try the following short quiz which mixes the hard endings in with the tone marks. Remember to follow the process we learned earlier, but now we have to add in the extra step for the vowel length when a word has a hard ending.
- What class?
- Tone Mark?
- Hard Ending? (Long or Short?)

See if you can work out anything in these signs. The first one uses a very common sign font. Don’t be discouraged if you can’t figure it out. I’ve included standard script in the captions, but spend a few moments looking at the sign.
