After that, you will be taken to the exercises section, where you can start learning English words on the chosen topic. You will be presented with a choice of different modes:

• Flash cards
  

  In this mode, you learn English words in the classic version of English flashcards (flash cards). You just see the English word and its translation. You can also listen to the pronunciation of the word. It is possible to view words in a slide show with automatic pronunciation. This is the passive learning of new words.

• Translation from English
  

  In this exercise for learning English flashcards, you see an English word and five translation options in Russian, from which you need to choose the correct one. In case of a correct answer, interest is accrued, and in case of an incorrect one, interest is deducted. When you reach 100%, it is considered that you have learned the word.

  This mode is similar to the previous mode with the only difference being what you see Russian word, and you need to choose the correct version of the translation into English.

• Spelling
  

  In this mode, you see a Russian word, but you need to write a translation in English. Thus, you will be able to learn the spelling of English words.

On our site you will find English words on various topics. But, of course, you may need your own special set. In this case you can create it's on our website by yourself. To see only sets that you have created yourself on this page, select a filter: "My sets".

After you have gone through the exercises and learned the English words from the set, it is still advisable to repeat them from time to time. Especially if these are words that are rarely used. Our memory is so arranged that after a certain time we forget what we rarely use. Language is no exception. So that be sure to repeat the learned words again and again. And then they will remain in your memory for a long time.

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 separately recorded in the recording. Phonetic transcription is written in square brackets; special phonetic symbols are used for recording.

Why do we need transcription of English words?

Knowing English transcription is useful. This makes it easy to read and correctly pronounce an unfamiliar English word on your own, without outside help. It is enough to look in the dictionary or use online services. Everyone knows that reading English words is a rather specific process, based not on the “folding” of words from letters, but rather on the transformation of 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 the English word, and, accordingly, its reading.

We encounter discrepancies in the spelling and pronunciation of English words already in the first lessons, when we independently begin to read small texts and translate them. Therefore, along with the alphabet and the simplest vocabulary, novice students need to get acquainted with such a concept as English transcription. It is this multi-character system that helps to convey the pronunciation of the sounds that make up the word in writing. In today's lesson, we will analyze the work of these symbols in practice, i.e. we will learn how the English transcription, translation and pronunciation of the most useful words should sound correctly. At the same time, examples of the correct sound will be presented both in English and in Russian. But first, let's look at a few useful rules.

How transcription works

Record. Make it a rule that the transcription of English words is always written using square brackets: book — [ b ʊk ] - book.

stress. An apostrophe is used to indicate stress, or, more simply, a stroke icon. ′ , which the preceded stressed syllable: dictionary – [ˈdɪkʃənrɪ] - dictionary.

Special signs. The transcription may contain dots, colons, parentheses, and resized letters.

• Period - English uses this transcription mark as a syllable separator: undisputed – [ˈʌndɪsˈpjuːtɪd] - undeniable.
• Colon - an indicator of a long drawn out sound: water – [‘ w ɔ:t ə] – water.
• Parentheses are an indicator that the sound enclosed in them is not pronounced or is pronounced very weakly: happen – [‘ h æp (ə)n ] - happen, happen.
• The changed size of the letter is a designation of a sound that is not always pronounced. You can often find the sound r written in superscript format. This is an indication that the pronunciation of the word depends on the dialect or other circumstances, such as the subsequent word: car – [ k ɑːr ] - car. By the way, the British pronunciation of words is indicated by the abbreviation UK, and the American - US.

Repeat characters. Depending on the dialect being studied, the recording of transcription marks may also differ. However, only their spelling is excellent, these sounds are pronounced the same way. Here are pairs of such identical characters: [ɒ] = [ɔ] , [e] = [ɛ] , [ʊ] = [u] , [əʊ] = [ɔu] , [з:] = [ə:] , = [ɛə] .

Armed with these rules, let's begin our acquaintance with the transcription and pronunciation of the English language.

English transcription translation and pronunciation of popular words

For a Russian person, it is not new that words are not pronounced the way they are written. But the sometimes very large-scale discrepancy that occurs in the English language will amaze even the most unimpressive native speakers of the Russian language.

In the following tables, we will study all the transcription signs of the English language, working out their correct sound with the help of popular words. Since we still have an initial level of knowledge, we will work with pronunciation in an easy mode, i.e. additionally deciphering English words in Russian letters. In addition, each word will be represented With translation ohm into Russian. So by the end of the study of tables, we will significantly expand our vocabulary and, working with texts entry level, we can already do without dictionaries and online translators.

Let's start with practicing vowels, as they are the most "capricious" in pronunciation. Stretch a short sound a little - and that's it, you have already said not a ship (ship), but a sheep (sheep). Therefore, be careful and monitor the quality of the pronunciation of each sound.

English transcription of consonants is much easier for Russian speakers to perceive, so the translation and pronunciation of words here will be intensively worked out only for special cases.

By periodically working with these two tables, you will improve your pronunciation over time, and eventually become the owner of an excellent British accent. In parallel, the active vocabulary will also increase, so soon you will be able to easily translate simple sentences both into Russian and back into English. We wish you successful and speedy mastering of all the nuances of English pronunciation! See you in new classes!
