The chart shows the sounds of English. Each sound has a symbol and with these sounds you can say all the words in the dictionary, and every piece of grammar!
The chart is also a map. It shows the three kinds of sound; vowel, diphthong, consonant. It also shows you HOW and WHERE to make the sound in your mouth.
To use the chart:
Learn to hear the differences between the sounds, and practise saying each sound, with and without the sample word.
