Part 1 - Phonetic Alphabet
Pronunciation is one of the most challenging components of learning the English language not just for those learning English as a second language. There are 1100 different ways to write the 44 basic sounds in British English. It can be quite difficult for a non-native speaker to pronounce the various phonemes correctly and, more importantly, to recognise the correct pronunciation of a word when reading it. In various words, the same letter can have a distinct pronunciation. Moreover, English words don’t contain accent marks; instead, the word’s stress emphasises particular syllables. A decent phonetic dictionary is the best resource for learning how to pronounce words clearly and in a way that is understood. There is no need to say it again if your pronunciation is good.
