some others that do not exist. Consonants b,

v, z. Vowels a, e, i, o, u.

    she sits
  • she shines, and where she shines she sits.
  • - How can a clam cram in a clean cream can?
  • - The thirty-three thieves thought that they
    thrilled the throne throughout Thursday.

14
Why is the use of the IPA necessary?
  • IPA makes the learning of pronunciation easier
  • IPA allows learners to work autonomously on
    pronunciation
  • IPA makes the association of words with the same
    pronunciation easier to, two, too /tu/
  • IPA allows the differentiation of words with
    similar endings thought /??t/, though /ðo?/,
    tough /t?f/ and through /?ru/.

15
Suggestions
  • Identify the sound and the phonetic symbol that
    represents it.
  • Practice the pronunciation of the sounds whose
    symbols are different from the alphabet letters.
    Remember to pay special attention to the position
    of the lips and the tongue as well as the amount
    of air that is needed to produce the sounds.
  • Use the IPA every day to prepare the new
    vocabulary you may encounter in the following
    lesson. Choose at least 5 words daily.

By learning to use the IPA, I will understand
that
  • As I learn new vocabulary, it is important that I
    get familiar with its pronunciation.  
  • Minor changes in pronunciation can alter meanings
    significantly.  
  • There are sounds especially difficult for
    Hispanics since they are not present in their
    native language.   
  • I can find patterns that can help me understand
    how to pronounce certain words.  
  • This strategy is there to help you. Using the
    online tools will facilitate understanding of it.
