Tongue twisters are tricky, but they can force you to enunciate similar sounding words to make each phrase intelligible. For example, “Peter Piper” can help you learn to enunciate consonants (in this case, “P”). “A Proper Cup of Coffee” emphasizes P’s and F’s while employing a variety of vowel sounds. You don’t have to start out fast. Take it slow ...
Consonants are speech sounds that are created when you stop air from flowing easily through the mouth. Some are made by closing your lips and others by touching your tongue to your teeth or the roof of your mouth. ESL learners can have difficulty mastering some consonants, such as ‘p’, ‘t’, and ‘k’, which are sounds that not all languages contain. ...
Vowels are sounds made when breath flows through the mouth without being blocked by the tongue, teeth, or lips. Vowels have several variations, including “long” and “short” sounds. Sometimes vowels are silent altogether, as in the “ue” in tongue. When combined, vowels can create further confusion, as when a double “o” in “cool” sounds like a long “...
Similar sounds can confuse even native English speakers. For instance, many people say or write “should of” and “could of” instead of “should have” and “could have.” In other cases, syllables or consonants are deleted (“probly” instead of “probably” or “pitcher” instead of “picture”). It’s easy to add an S to the end of “anyway” or confuse “accept”...
Homographs are words that have the same spelling but different meanings — and sometimes, different pronunciations. For instance, you can “bow” before royalty (“ow” sound) or use a bow (“oh” sound) to shoot an arrow. An entrance, with the accent on the first syllable, is a noun meaning a way in; to entrance, with the accent on the second syllable, i...
English has a large number of homophones, which can create confusion for those learning the language. Words that sound similar can be difficult even for native speakers, who may confuse “their” with “they’re” or “there” in their writing. Practice can help English learners recognize different spellings and meanings for words like “shoot” and “chute”...
A syllable is a unit of speech that consists of a vowel or a vowel combined with one or more consonants. Words can have one or more syllables. When spoken, words with more than one syllable will be uttered with an emphasis placed on a particular syllable, as with “gage” in “engage” or “ar” in “architect.” This is called syllable stress. Pronunciati...
While some syllables are stressed, others are shorter and less clear. There are two reduced vowel sounds in English: a barred “i” sound, as in “monitor,” and the schwa sound (often expressed as “uh” and written as Əin the International Phonetic Alphabet). The schwa sound is an unstressed vowel that is pronounced “uh” as in the “e” in “problem” or t...
Rhyming exercises and games can help English learners become familiar with how different words contain similar sounds. Repeating these words and sounds helps them become more natural with practice.
Shadow speaking is a technique for learning language. It involves listening to what someone says, then repeating it with as little delay as possible. This technique is often used with audio recordings to help people learn new languages. Common words and phrases are played on the recording, and the listener is encouraged to mimic what is heard. This...
