English PRESS Guide to Pronunciation

By C. C. aNODUA

As a true guide is designed to lead to the desired destination, the English PRESS Guide to Pronunciation will lead you to an excellent pronunciation of English sounds/ words. Irrespective of your background, country of origin, or current accent, this guide promises to help you attain proficiency fast. The moment you can distinguish voiced and unvoiced sounds; and understand the impact of the position of your jaw, lips, and tongue during communication, you are already on your way to proficiency.

Whereas the dictionary remains the best companion, the volume and diversity of scope it covers, have made its use sometimes difficult, therefore having a short guide will be very helpful in today's evolving world. The objective of this guide is built around simplicity and compactness. It promises to keep you engaged to the end and then kept in view as a reference book afterward.

This guide comprises the 44 sounds iof English Language in a summarized version, yet detailed and conclusive enough to drive down the pronunciation of each sound. In achieving this, pictures and short impactful illustrations were employed. The approach is summarized thus: Identify the sound, state the rules, and demonstrate with pictures of the mouth position and objects whose names exemplify that particular phonetic sound's pronunciation.

The target audiences are everyday English speakers, those at the beginning stage of phonetic/ linguistics studies, especially children/ new parents, and those who want a helicopter but impactful view of the entire subject matter at the minimum possible time.

Finally, each page promises to be valuable as a standalone without losing its contribution to the collective objective.
