                        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.

                                                                 regularly




                 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:


                                         vowel              diphthongs          consonants
