    Default BBC learning English: Pronunciation tips


    Re uploaded by DE on 10-May-15

    The sounds of English
    There is a system of symbols for writing the sounds of English. We have videos to show how to pronounce each of the sounds.

    There are also activities to practise identifiying the difference between certain sounds which may sound similar.

    The sounds are organised into the following different groups:

    Short vowels
    Long vowels
    Diphthongs (double vowel sounds)
    Voiceless consonants
    Voiced consonants
    Other consonants

    The videos in the Pronunciation Tips section of this site are presented by Alex Bellem.

    Alex has an undergraduate degree in Arabic and Turkish. She followed this with an MA in (Theoretical) Linguistics at University College London (UCL) and a PhD in Linguistics at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) where she focused on Arabic phonology and phonetics.

    She's also a CELTA-qualified English language teacher and spent a few years teaching English as a Foreign Language. At the time these videos were made in early 2008 Alex was lecturing part-time in the Linguistics Department at SOAS and was working as a Pronunciation Linguist in the BBC's Pronunciation Unit.
