MJA | Pronunciation

Hello, Welcome to my journal academy!!

 

After we learn about 16 tenses in English, in this post, we will learn about pronunciation. This is the beginning of this lesson, and this will explain what is pronunciation and how to use it. and I will give a list of sounds that we gonna learn next post. So, let's get started!

 

In this post I will give information about pronunciation. What is the pronunciation?

 

According to Wikipedia, Pronunciation is is the way in which a word or a language is spoken. This may refer to generally agreed-upon sequences of sounds used in speaking a given word or language in a specific dialect ("correct pronunciation"), or simply the way a particular individual speaks a word or language.

A word can be spoken in different ways by various individuals or groups, depending on many factors, such as the duration of the cultural exposure of their childhood, the location of their current residence, speech or voice disorder, their ethnic group, their social class, or their education.

 

The branch of linguistics which studies these units of sound is phonetics, and phonetics is studied how humans make and perceive sounds, or in the case of sign languages, the equivalent aspects of sign. The field of phonetics is traditionally divided into three subdisciplines based on the research questions involved such as how humans plan and execute movements to produce speech (articulatory phonetics), how different movements affect the properties of the resulting sound (acoustic phonetics), or how humans convert sound waves to linguistic information (auditory phonetics).

 

English spelling patterns are inconsistent and are not always reliable guides to pronunciation. That's why we need a set of symbols in which each sound is represented by a different symbol, and the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) will help us.

 

There are 44 sounds, and divided into 2 sections into vowel sounds and consonant sounds.  

In vowel sounds,  is a speech sound produced with vibrating your vocal cords and a continuous unrestricted flow of air coming from the mouth. The most well-known vowel are A, E, I, O, U. In vowel there are divided into 2 again, are Monophthongs and Diphthong.
