Description
Many people tend to mispronounce words and it is no wonder that people do not understand what they are saying.
Here are some interesting points in pronunciation:
- Letters in a word are quite often pronounced differently among languages. Take the letters "L" and "R". Words with "L" and "R" in Japanese are pronounced in a different way in English words.
- Words in English can also be deceiving - they are often not pronounced the way they are spelt!
- Vowels in the English language can be single vowels as in the words "cat", "bed", "sit", "sun" and "pot" or they can be diphthongs meaning comprising 2 sounds. Examples of words with diphthongs are "care", "tourist" and "play". Do you pronounce these words correctly? Many people tend to mispronounce diphthongs as single vowels and get misunderstood!
When you learn phonetics, you will know the exact way in which every word should be pronounced! This is so reassuring - can language be more specific and definite than this?
