Learn the meaning of English words

You need to know what English words mean to be able to understand what you hear or read, and how you express yourself.
Fo√ne…tic √Ēng…lish makes learning the meaning of words (vocabulary) as easy as possible by optimizing how different word types are taught:

1. Images
  • It is much easier to show an image of a square or a photo of a cat than it is to understand a written definition, so words like square and cat are taught with images
  • If your native language is not English, then you can learn English words by seeing a translation of the word into your native language
  • you can use the Fo√ne…tic √Ēng…lish Dictionary which has been specifically designed to make it as easy to use as possible.
  • Learn the meaning of root words and then learn how the meaning of the root words changes by adding prefixes and suffixes (morphology).
  • Reading will improve all aspects of your English skills including learning the meaning of words. Fo√ne…tic √Ēng…lish has designed a new type of eReader to help you improve all aspects of your English

Listen like a native English speaker

When you can listen and effortlessly recognize English words without thinking, you will be able to focus on understanding what was said, so you will understand more.
The good news is that Fo√ne…tic √Ēng…lish makes learning effortless listening much easier because:

  • You only have to learn English sounds that are NOT in your native language
  • You may already know some missing English sounds
  • You may already know some English sounds that are not in your native language, because these sounds are used in common English words, place names and brand names that you may have heard and already know. You will be presented with a list of common English words that you might know that contain the missing sounds.
  • You may learn some English sounds more quickly if you learn to make the sounds
  • Many non native English speakers find some sounds like “th” very difficult to hear and say. It’s easy to make the mouth movements to make the “th” sound, and when you make the correct mouth movements, you will hear the “th” sound and many people find this a quick way to learn the sound
  • The trouble with “th”, “p”, “f” and “h” is that they are very soft sounds. Many people don’t think they are making the correct sound because they are so soft. [show videos of the mouth movements of th, p, f and h]. You need to pronounce these soft sounds followed by a vowel to hear them, and there are specific exercises to help you with this.
  • Try learning syllables containing missing sounds before you learn missing sounds by themselves
  • Fo√ne…tic √Ēng…lish can teach some missing English sounds by teaching you syllables that contain sounds you know (sound in your native language and in English), as well as a missing sound.
  • For example, suppose the sounds, “c”, “o” and “t” are in your native language and “a” is not a sound in your native language. You will be able to hear “cot” as you can hear “c” “o” and “t” and you will be able to hear “cat” because you can hear “c” and “t”.

Learn the sound of ANY English syllable or word

Fo√ne…tic √Ēng…lish tells you exactly how a word is sounded out or pronounced so that you know what sounds to listen for.

Practice recognizing English sounds

  • Fo√ne…tic √Ēng…lish provides you with tools that let you practice recognizing these sounds. You hear the sound of an English syllable or word, and you select the word that makes that sound. There may be more than one word with the same sound – same sound but different spelling. This exercise teaches you to
  • Recognize the sound of the word as it is played, developing your listening skills
  • Recognize the written word (or words) that make the sound, teaching you sightwords, and
  • Gives you the sound and shape of the word, which helps you with spelling.

Speak English so you are understood

1. You don’t need to learn to pronounce English sounds that are in your native language.
  • Fo√ne…tic √Ēng…lish will tell you which English sounds are in your native language, and how these sounds are spelled in your native language.
  • The vowel /ê/ (/EE/) is a vowel that is in every language and is always voiced. Touch your voice box with your fingers and say /Ê/ (/ee/) and you will feel the VIBRATION of the voice box in your fingers. This vibration is what is meant by VOICED.
  • All vowels are voiced.
  • The consonant S is also in every major language and is always unvoiced.
  • Touch your voice box with your fingers and say Ê and you will feel the vibration in your fingers. This is what is meant by VOICED.
  • Here is an image showing the location of the voice box.
  • Continuous single sound vowels:
  • ê, oo, ur.
  • Short Vowels, Single Sounds:
  • A, e, i, o, u, ō, ù.
  • Compound vowels:
  • â, í, à, ů, ar, or, ow, oy.
  • These sounds are made up of 2 or 3 other phonemes sounds. You are first taught how to make the individual sounds, and shown how these sounds make up the compound sound
  • Single Sound Continuous Consonants:
  • l, r
  • Single Sound Continuous Nasal Consonants:
  • m, n, ng
  • which are pronounced by send the sound out the nose.
  • Voiced/Unvoiced Continuous Consonant Pairs:
  • f/v, s/z, sh/zh, th/tң (voiced)
  • These sounds pairs have the same mouth movements – the first sound is voiced and the second is unvoiced.
  • Voiced/Unvoiced Short Consonant Pairs:
  • p/b, t/d, k/g
  • These sounds pairs have the same mouth movements – the first sound is voiced and the second is unvoiced.
  • Soft Consonants:
  • f, h, p, unvoiced th
  • The mouth movements for these consonants are easy to make but they make very little sounds, so to hear them, you need to pronounce the soft consonant followed by a vowel. The soft consonants followed by every vowel have been recorded for you to hear.
  • Compound Consonants:
  • ch, j, w, x, y
  • These sounds are made up of 2 or 3 other phonemes sounds. You are first taught how to make the individual sounds, and shown how these sounds make up the compound sound
