Overview

The primary purpose of this book is to focus mainly on the difficulties learners have in speaking and understanding spoken English by raising phonetic awareness for better pronunciation, therefore improving oral and listening skills. It is thereby important to recognise the English sound system patterns. By improving your oral and listening skills you can become more communicative and, what's more, you can begin to speak with less of a foreign accent. Pronunciation errors are rampant among Italian speakers of English. If you mispronounce a word by reading it the way you would in Italian, then it could seriously impede understanding. Italian is read the way it is written but not English. Unlike Italian, English is not a phonetic language. For this reason the book is dedicated to pronunciation and the study of the phonemic script and how to use it. If you are unfamiliar with phonemes then it is a good idea to begin to become aware of how important they are to achieving accuracy in the spoken language. This phonetic language has been devised for non natives to aid with pronunciation.
