INSTRUCȚIUNI DE LA RITA
hello, my dear
fantastic student!
Știu cât de complicat poate fi să pronunți unele cuvinte în limba engleză, tocmai
de aceea ți-am pregătit peste 200 de cuvinte, mai exact 241 - care te vor ajuta
să-ți îmbogățești vocabularul plus să deprinzi pronunțarea lor corectă.
Hai să încercăm cu primul cuvânt din listă “acounstic”. Îl vezi? Ai acoperit colonița 2 cu mâna? Superb.
Spune-l în voce, acum ia mâna și verifică - uh–koo-stik. Aceasta este cea mai simplă metodă de a arăta
pronunțarea unui cuvânt în engleză, fără a folosi transcripția în engleză și alfabetul fonetic, care, e mult mai
deocheată. Dacă metoda prezentată în tabel îți pare oarecum complicată, it’s ok! Nu e nimic în neregulă cu
tine, transcripția CHIAR dă bătăi de cap. De aceea eu mai am o soluție pentru tine!
