However, this website provides many other useful sections such as an introduction, the sounds of English, features of English, quizzes and programmes. Most of the texts and audio files can be downloaded so that you can continue your study work off line.
The sounds of English section concentrates on those which can be confused by speakers of other languages.
In sum, this is an excellent site to improve one's English.
Hi
ReplyDeleteThis isn't the English Phonetic Alphabet. It's the International Phonetic Alphabet and it doesn't work for English for many reasons. IPA was developed in France in 1886 so people could learn many languages at once. Unfortunately it doesn't work for English and other languages don't use it at all.
There is an English Phonetic Alphabet that uses all computer keyboard symbols - this isn't it.
