When learning a foreign language is very important to work out the correct pronunciation.In order to achieve this, do different exercises on individual learning of specific sounds.It also helps to communicate with native speakers, watching movies on it, and more.
Useful notion
Transcription - a record the sound of a word.There are several types of it:
1. Phonetic transcription. Her goal - as much as possible and more accurately convey the sound of a foreign expression.It uses a variety of special icons.Art phonetic transcription trained linguists in universities.It's not as easy as it seems.In fact, besides the study of unusual characters, it is necessary to develop a skill very quickly record for speaking, understand and use the basic laws of phonetics.The most common phonetic transcription used in the study of rare languages and dialects professional linguists.
2. practical transcription - a system for recording the approximate sound of foreign words using only the letters of the target language.With it, all of us know from school.English translation - a record the sound of words and expressions in Cyrillic letters.In this case, do not use special icons.Therefore, recording a bit different depending on whether the language through which alphabet transcribed.That is practical for the French transcription - this is not the same as it is for the German or Japanese.But it's still pretty easy, and anyone can use it to study foreign languages.
Some general principles
Despite the fact that the practical transcription of words - it is very easy, there are some general rules:
- is to try to maintain a rough kind of audio transcribed words;
- is permissible and even desirable to transfer some of the features that you can not hear the pronunciation, but visible when writing;This, for example, doubled consonants or vowels are dumb;
- should be considered similar to the languages involved in transcription;
- transcription - a system of sound recording, used for many years;over the years have developed some traditions of the transfer of certain sounds should take them into account.
practical transcription, of course, is not so accurately conveys the sound of foreign words as phonetic, and at first you will make mistakes.But all this is a matter of practice.Over time, you get used to it "J" - is the sound of the letters g, «ah» - i.
And here's a few rules to facilitate language learning:
- Keep your hand-written glossary of learned words.Just a notebook and diversified into three columns: the first will be to write a word in a foreign language, in the second - the translation, and the third - transcription.
- Watch movies, cartoons and TV shows in the target language.First, with subtitles, and then without them.If you are still poorly understand foreign speech at the hearing and unfamiliar movies to look hard for you, review their favorite, which already know every line and exclamation.Your brain will compare and remember the old phrase in the new language.
- Think in the target language, dream on it, or enter your blog.And you can not be afraid - there is an error you deuce precisely nobody put!
- Take a trip to the country to learn the language better alone.You will find yourself in a situation where, willy-nilly will have to listen and understand foreign speech.
