                   Basics of Pronunciation


            Pronunciation  is how  you  say  a  word  of  a  language.  If  we  do  not  say  (or  pronounce)  words correctly,  others may
            not understand what we are saying. To communicate well when you speak, you must know how to pronounce words
            correctly. Using correct pronunciations of words will help you express yourself clearly and confidently. It will also help
            others to understand your words easily.

            Phonetics
            Phonetics is the study of human sounds and phonology is the systematic classification of sounds in one or more specific
            languages. Sounds can be divided into consonants and vowels. The first can be characterized by 1) place, 2) mode
            of pronunciation and 3) voice. The English alphabet has 26 letters from A to Z. However, each of these letters can be
            pronounced differently in different words. We write words in English language using 26 letters. However, while speaking
            English, more than 26 sounds are used. For this reason, the spelling of a word  does not always match its pronunciation.
            Let us understand the sounds we use. All English words are made of three basic types of sounds—vowels, Diphthongs
            (combination sound of two vowels) and consonants. Let us see some examples:
