LEARNING ENGLISH-1

by S.P. Iyer

English language-pronunciation

English is a very beautiful and expressive language.It is also very tricky and loaded with rules and exceptions. There are eight parts of speech which are the building blocks of any language.i.e Noun-Pronoun-Verb-Adverb-Adjective-Preposition-Conjunction-Interjection.

We all learn about the rhythm and melody of our own language as babies when we first begin to llisten to others speak.When we begin learning a new language we automatically transfer this rhythm to the new language we are learning.The more you practice with wrong rhythm the more your mistakes become fixed.

Vowels and vowel rules

In english there are five vowel letters, but there are many more vowel sounds

The letters are a, e, i, o, u

The common pronunciations are the ALPHABET VOWEL SOUNDS and the RELATIVE VOWEL SOUNDS.
