traversing a string

I am writing a script which will read a word and say how many vowels and consonants does the word contain. but i dont know how to traverse a string in shell scripting. if it was in C i'd have done something like this:

Code:
cout<<"plz enter the word"<<endl;
cin>>word;
int consonants, vowels;
for(int i=0;i<word.size();i++)
{

if(word[i] is a consonant)
consonants ++;
else
vowels++;

}

but i have no idea how to use for loop like that in shell.
thanks in advance Smilie
