Transcription, pronunciation and translation of English words online. Pronunciation of English words in Russian letters - learn English easily Sound of English words in Russian letters

Greetings, my dear readers.

Today we continue to talk about how to learn to read correctly, so the topic of today's article is transcription of English letters.

We have already introduced you to the concept and dealt with the pronunciation of sounds in English. Today we will figure out exactly how they are pronounced in various combinations.

I have a clear table for you. It contains the letters of the English alphabet with transcription, Russian analogue letters and my notes so that you can immediately get the correct pronunciation. I also added examples of words with the sounds being studied and their translation.

What else can you find on the blog:

1. with letters and transcription (you can study them online, download, print and work with them);
2. for children I have a full .

Let `s start?

Features of English transcription:

• it is always formatted with square brackets. I can’t say exactly where it came from, but I think it’s just worth taking it for granted;
• to understand where the stress is, the transcription uses the sign [‘] before the stressed syllable;
• It is important to remember that transcription is about the sound, not the spelling of words. Sometimes the spelling can be 90% different from what we pronounce;
• to show that a sound is long we use a colon.

In general, I wrote about English transcription - please!

Letters of the English alphabet and their transcription in Russian and English:

But do you know what is the most interesting thing about English?

If different letters are combined, they are pronounced differently!

That's why I prepared for you

Examples of English letter combinations in Russian and English:

I know this table seems huge right now. Surely you think that remembering all this is unrealistic. I'll tell you this: at a certain point, when you have enough, you won't even pay attention to these combinations. Your brain will learn to quickly remember how exactly these letters sound. Moreover, even when you come across a word that is completely unfamiliar to you, you will be able to read it correctly. The only question is the amount of practice on your part.

How to remember combinations of letters?

1. Use cards. Visual perception is better developed in most people.
2. Read. Pay attention to combinations of letters when or just texts.
3. Don't get hung up. It is not necessary to immediately memorize these combinations and only then move directly to English. Learn as you go!
4. Buy paper or download a good e-book in order to quickly learn to recognize combinations and pronounce them correctly. Even if you, an adult, need it, don’t hesitate to take books for children - everything there is explained in detail and is not without interest.

That's all, my dears. I hope you found it useful and understandable. I provide even more similar materials in the blog newsletter - subscribe and receive a dose of useful information regularly.

What is transcription?

Phonetic transcription is a graphic recording of the sound of a word; pursues the goal of accurate graphic recording of pronunciation. Each individual sound must be recorded separately. Phonetic transcription is written in square brackets; special phonetic symbols are used for recording.

Why is transcription of English words needed?

Knowing English transcription is useful. This makes it possible to easily read and correctly pronounce an unfamiliar English word on your own, without outside help. Just look in the dictionary or use online services. Everyone knows that reading English words is a rather specific process, based not on “putting together” words from letters, but rather on converting letter combinations into combinations of sounds. Of course, there are certain reading rules that you need to know and apply. But there are many more words that do not obey these rules. This is where transcription comes to the rescue, allowing you to find out the correct pronunciation of an English word, and, accordingly, its reading.

The English language is known for frequent variations in the spelling and pronunciation of words. Therefore, it is sometimes very difficult for beginners to figure out how to correctly pronounce this or that expression from the text. Today’s material will provide some support for beginners in this matter. Here we have collected basic English vocabulary with transcription and Russian translation, and also described the pronunciation of English words in Russian letters. This way, you will not get confused in transcription signs and reading rules, but will easily understand what the correct pronunciation sounds like.

Before moving on to studying vocabulary, I would like to note several important points.

The phonetic system of the English language has 48 sounds. And this is with only 26 letters! Letter combinations play a huge role here, thanks to which a new sound is formed. Reading rules given in the adjacent material tell in detail about this phenomenon. It is necessary to familiarize yourself with them, because... pronunciation in Russian is only an auxiliary element that does not convey all the subtleties of the British accent.

In addition, to correctly express sounds in English, it is necessary to develop appropriate articulation. An article about the features and rules of pronunciation of English words will tell you how to do this. We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with this material. Since Russian transcription will certainly make it easier for children and beginners to understand words, but will contribute little to the production of purely English “speaking”.

Thus, of course, it is convenient to have a hint with pronunciation in Russian, but you cannot use it all the time. Try to gradually master transcription rules and try to pronounce new words yourself, and use the Russian version solely for reference purposes. With this instruction in mind, let's move on to our list and find out how to pronounce popular English words.
