Task 3 : Pronunciation and phonetics.



Pronunciation and phonetics.

Have you ever wondered when looking in a dictionary what the funny little symbols that appear next to the words mean? They are phonetic symbols, a pronunciation guide, however it is necessary to know the sound associated with the symbols in order to build the sound of the word. Words are often confused because they do not know the difference between pronunciation and fonema.Por that is due to be clear what specific phonemes used. That usually happens when someone is learning a new language. The first step is to learn to pronounce the sounds and words of this language.  Of course, you can use audio or video to learn pronunciation, but that may not be enough. Sometimes words are pronounced very quickly, and some words can contain a lot of unfamiliar sounds. Therefore, it becomes very difficult to reproduce the correct pronunciation with just listening to the recording. Fortunately, the phonetic transcription will help you deal with that problem.
