So, let's return to our muttons!

WHAT WE’LL BE DOING HERE EXACTLY

We’ll be working together on the improvement of our knowledge of English. And firstly we’ll improve our pronunciation.

It can be done in two possible ways. The phonetists are disputing, but we have only to choose the most appropriate one for us:

-    or we’ll be doing it through imitation, and learn it like children do – repeating exactly after the adults and trying to sound like them;

-    or we’ll learn the pronunciation in the usual way – learning the positioning of our speech machine parts and the rules given and formulated due to the scientists' research.

-    and - you can combine the both – what is the best – in my opinion.

I decided to give here both approaches – it’s up to you to decide what suits you better. So, here you’ll have them at your hand, thus you can easily understand and actually use them, namely to put the ideas into your daily practice.

2 – Do you know what is IPA?:  International Phonetic Alphabet ( phonetic notation system ) (Wikipedia).

The phonemic chart contains the 44 sounds of spoken English. It is an excellent tool for both learning and teaching about English pronunciation, but there is no easy way to type the phonemes with a normal keyboard. Use this site to "type" the characters by clicking with your mouse. You can then copy and paste to your software of choice, or even export the characters as an image using the save as image button.
