Anyone who has studied English knows that beginners start with 26 English letters. When we were young, we shook our heads and sang alphabet songs, but we didn't know there was a doorway behind these letters.

The author introduces two attributes of English letters: one is the name of the letter (the name of the letter itself), and the other is the Soud of the letter (the pronunciation of the letter). The latter is something we often ignore or even unconsciously learn English. In particular, the author emphasizes that the correspondence between sounds and letters, between sounds and words, and between sounds and objects are all related by sounds. Sound is the focus of English enlightenment.

There is another way for foreign preschool students to sing vowel songs:

A says A, A says A, crocodile.

aaa。

……

Z says z, z says z, zebra zebra zzz.

This reminds me of a time when in a spoken English group, everyone discussed the pronunciation of the word "R" (some people couldn't tell the difference between "R" and "L"). The pronunciation of the letter "R" itself is similar to that of the Chinese slogan "12 1". But what about the "r" in the word? Please try to pronounce "right", and you will find that the pronunciation of "R" here is not "two" at all, but like a short "Rui", which is the letter sound of the letter "R".

Because of the experience of oral group discussion before and the analysis of the author in today's book, I suddenly realized. 26 English letters, you must first learn to listen.
