Learning English should start with pronunciation. English is a phonetic symbol, which consists of letters. There are twenty-six English letters * * *, among which letters A, E, I, O and U are vowels, and the other twenty-one are consonants, among which letter Y is sometimes used as vowels. Each letter can have one or more pronunciations. Therefore, the English pronunciation * * * has fifty phonemes, and the written form of phonemes is phoneme letters, that is, phonetic symbols, and a phoneme letter is a phonetic symbol, indicating a phoneme. Therefore, you must learn fifty KK phonetic symbols first, and then spell words according to the pronunciation rules.

Xie Mengyuan famous teacher teaching steps are divided into five units. The first unit is called KK Phonetic Alphabet, which includes 2/kloc-0 vowels and 29 consonants.

The second unit is called Pinyin Practice. Vowels and consonants are paired for Pinyin Practice, with 2/kloc-0 vowels as the main body and different consonants for spelling.

The third unit is called natural pronunciation rules.

First, the consonant pronunciation of a single word is generally one-to-one correspondence. For example, p-b, t-d, k(qu), f-v, s-z, R, H, J, M, N, L and W pronounce its local sound. Generally, letters and phonetic symbols are written in the same way, or the phonemes of this letter are included in the letter name.

Second, some consonants have multiple pronunciations. For example, the pronunciation of the letter C followed by A, O, U and C is the same as that of the letter K, which is called "hard C". When the letter C is followed by E, I or Y, the pronunciation of C is usually the same as that of the letter S, which is called "soft C sound". Sometimes before e or I, c will send/? /sound. When the letter G is followed by A, O and U, this sound is called "hard G sound". When the letter G is followed by E, I or Y, sometimes the pronunciation of G is the same as that of the letter J, which is called "soft G sound". X sound /ks/ is in the middle or at the end of the word, /gz/ is in the middle of the word, and /z/ is at the beginning of the word. Y is pronounced as consonant /j/at the beginning of a word, vowel at the middle or end of a word or syllable, and long vowel/a? /,pronounce short vowels at the end of stressed closed syllables and words/? /。

Third, the pronunciation of consonant combinations is also regular. Common consonant letter combinations are: tr-dr, pronounced with a tongue body similar to R, with the tip of the tongue attached to the back of the gum, and immediately after the airflow breaks through the obstacle, R..Ck with a short T-D is issued only with a K, ng is nasal when the tongue is pressed to the back of the upper jaw, and N is issued before K. ..

4. Monotones composed of compound letters. Directed sound means that two (or three) consonants are combined to produce only one sound, which usually refers to the following four combinations: ch(tch), sh, wh and th. Ch hair /t/ sound, sh hair/? Generally speaking, wh is pronounced as /hw/ (voiced consonant), but when /h/ is pronounced before O, the pronunciation of th needs some memory. In function words and some pronouns, it is voiced (the tip of the tongue is between the upper and lower teeth, the vocal cords need to vibrate, and the sound comes from the gap between the teeth and the tongue), while other words starting with th are basically voiced (the tip of the tongue is between the upper and lower teeth, and the sound comes from the teeth).

5. In some consonant letter combinations, one of the letters is silent, such as K in kn, P and mb in ps, B in bt, M in mn and W in wr. In Roman vocabulary, the consonant letter h is generally silent; In the foreign words of French etymology, there are no consonants at the end of the words, such as depot, ballet and faux.

6. The pronunciation of vowels in English is complicated, and each vowel can be pronounced in multiple sounds. Only by mastering the pronunciation rules of vowels can we have a more accurate grasp of the pronunciation of the whole word. There are five vowels: A, E, I, O, U, and Y is also regarded as a vowel in the middle or at the end of a word. Every word contains at least one vowel, which is the "strongest sound" of the word. The sound made by a vowel depends on its position in the word or how it is combined with other vowels. Generally speaking, if any of the five vowels is followed by one or more consonants, then the vowel is pronounced as a short sound in a stressed closed syllable: A/? /,e hair/? /,you and I both send/? /tone，o/α/，u/？ /sound.

7. If a word ends with the letter E, the vowel in front of it sounds very long, which is called stressed relatively open syllable (magic E). If a vowel is at the end of a word or stressed syllable, it also sounds long, which is called stressed syllable. The so-called long sound is the name of vowels, for example, the long sound of A is /e/, the long sound of E is /i/, and the long sounds of I and Y are /a? /,the long sound of o is /o/, and the long sound of u is /ju/. The stress of the letter e at the end of a relatively open syllable only plays a role in making the preceding vowel sound long, so you don't pronounce it.

Eight, when there are two vowels in a word or syllable, usually the first vowel is long and the second vowel is silent, which is called vowel linking. But al, au, aw, ou, o sometimes send/? /This sound is also a long vowel. However, in some special cases, when vowels are followed by consonants, vowels are longer. For example, O is pronounced before st and ld, and I is pronounced before gh, gn, ld and nd, but the vowel letter O sometimes grows into a vowel/? /,such as cost, loss, etc.

Diphthongs is a combination of two vowels and phonemes, so it sounds as if there are two sounds, although these two sounds are not issued by two vowels alone, such as oi(oy) and ou(ow)//and/a? /sound.

X. When vowels and r are combined, they roll their tongues, such as ar /αr/, or/? R/, er, ir, ur all send/? /。

Eleven, five vowels are weak vowels in unstressed syllables/? /。

The fourth unit is called stress exercises, including stress exercises for monosyllabic words, disyllabic words, trisyllabic words and tetrasyllabic words and sentence stress exercises. For example:

Monosyllabic words, such as go, cat, beat, stop.

A disyllabic word with stress on the second syllable, pre'tend, to'night.

The stress is on the first syllable, such as "sunset", "modern" and "notebook".

A three-syllable word with stress on the first syllable: "calendar", "number" and "article".

The stress is on the second syllable: tomorrow, Botato.

The stress is on the third syllable: refu'gee, engineer.

Four-syllable words: stress on the first syllable: "hospitality", dictionary.

The stress is on the second syllable: in'visible.

The stress is on the third syllable: intro 'dance, imitation.

The stress is in the fourth syllable, which is more common in foreign words, such as entrepre 'neur' nerve' nerve.

Sentence Stress: Nouns, notional verbs, adjectives, numerals, adverbs and notional words (called notional words in American English) are all stressed, while function words (called functional words in American English) such as articles, prepositions, conjunctions, exclamations and modal verbs are generally not stressed. For example, this is a "real" good book. This is a very big box. This is an open phone book. This is a list of "phone books".

The fifth unit is called sound change, such as continuous reading, loss explosion, sound assimilation and so on.

After learning pronunciation, you can begin to learn vocabulary and grammar. English belongs to the West Germanic branch of Indo-European language family, with open vocabulary, some Germanic words, some Roman words, some imported from French, German, Spanish, Italian, Latin, Greek, Arabic and other languages. English belongs to inflectional language, but there are relatively few inflectional forms. Except nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, numerals, articles, prepositions, conjunctions and exclamation marks remain unchanged, and there are only three sentence structures: simple sentence, complex sentence and complex sentence, and the word order is relatively fixed.

Xie Mengyuan's curriculum includes elementary grammar and intermediate grammar, including the following:

Introduction-the composition and types of sentences.

Morphology-nouns and articles, pronouns, verbs (verb overview, verb tense, passive voice, infinitive, gerund, participle, hypothetical mood), adjectives, numerals, adverbs, prepositions and conjunctions.

Syntax-simple sentences, complex sentences, negative sentences, interrogative sentences, complex sentences (usage of conjunctions and relative words).

As long as you study hard, you can learn English well. I hope I can help you.
