What is Phonetics ???? Phonetics is a branch oflinguisticsthat
is concerned with the study of the soundsof humanspeech.
Why do we need phonetics ?1- Because some English letters have
more than one sound.2-Because Some letters when joined together in
a word actually create a new sound in their own.3-There may be a
silent letter that can appear in a word.
What are the types of the phonetic sounds ?ConsonantsVowels
Why should Arabs know about phonetics?Because we, as Arabs,
mispronounce so many words and this may be because:
English is not our mother tongue. The way we pronounce Arabic is
totally different from the way that English should be
pronounced.Language interference may be the problem.Because English
is now a must in all the fields and we should know how to pronounce
it in a correct way.
