Publisher's Synopsis
Cambridge Assessment English offers various courses for the academic contexts. A2 Flyers is the beginner's level. It focuses on the four major skills of English language: Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. A2 Flyers employs a list vocabulary for the beginner's level. But, majority of the words from this list are mispronounced by some of the ESL (English as a Second Language) speakers. The author has identified those commonly misarticulated words and has highlighted those words in this book and has given the phonetic transcriptions for both British as well as American English. The IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) symbols used in this book is based in the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary, Fourth Edition. The phonetic alphabet is the formula to pronounce English words correctly. As English is not a phonetic language, the spelling is not the reliable method to pronounced words perfectly. The audio and video version (pronunciations) of these words can be found in the author's YouTube channel: English with Dr. Suresh Ponnurangam.This book can help the young learners with the list of 135 commonly mispronounced vocabulary and how to pronounce them correctly. It can also be helpful to those students who prepare for the Cambridge Assessment English A2 Flyers. The highlighted red letters are silent in the list.
