Description
Dictionaries have a pronunciation guide that may help you to know how each word sounds. Before using it, there are some things you must know: • There are 21 consonants but there are less sounds because letters like c and k or c and s can have the same sound depending on their position in a word. You must also consider that if two consonants combine, they produce a di erent sound, for example: ch or sh . • There are five vowels: a, e, i, o, and u but sometimes the y sounds like one of them. Vowels are pronounced in many di erent ways depending on their position in a word and on their combinations. • Dictionaries break up words into syllables. Try to pronounce each syllable at a time when you practice the pronunciation of words.
