The 44 Sounds of English
In the English alphabet there are 26 letters, but these
letters produce 44 sounds. For this reason, one letter is
used to produce more than one sound. In order to know the
correct pronunciation certain symbols denoting these sounds
have been devised and standardized. By learning these symbols
you will be able to find the correct pronunciation of any word
in a standard dictionary. These symbols will also help you to go
through the book with guidance for correct pronunciation of
words and conversations. These sounds are classified into two
types:
