When an English word is spelled, it can be broken down into letters and letter combinations. Each letter and letter combination makes a sound (vowel or consonant), which is a different sound among the 48 phonemes. This relationship between letters and phonetic symbols is called the natural pronunciation rule, which is what we call the natural pinyin method.

The most effective pinyin method has thirteen steps.

The first step is to learn the basic pronunciation of English, just like the three primary colors (red, yellow, blue). After blending, you can get the three secondary colors (orange, green, purple) and various other different colors. The color of black can be obtained by mixing the three primary colors, but there are always exceptions to the basic pronunciation rules, such as some foreign words.

A a B b C c (divided into soft and hard sounds) D d E e F f G g (divided into soft and hard sounds)

H h I i J j K k L l M m N n

O o P p qu R r S s T t

U u V v W w X x Y y Z z

Note that among the 26 English letters, the letters a, e, i, o, and u are vowels. y is a semi-vowel letter, and the remaining 21 are consonant letters. Among them, c and g have hard and soft sounds. They have hard sounds before a, o, u and consonant letters or at the end. Before the vowel letter y, pronounce a soft sound. The vowel is like the main melody in music, or a light, and the consonants are like the beat in music.

The second step is to spell single words using vowels and consonants. .We first spell two-letter and three-letter words.

an (used before words starting with a vowel phoneme) hat hat pan pan

Ed Ed bed bed net network

Ig pig pig six

op surgery mop drag top top

up up bug bug cup tea cup

< p>The third step is consonant concatenation. Note that there cannot be a pause in the middle of the consonant concatenation, nor can a vowel be added. The voiceless sound after s is not aspirated, and m and n lose part of their voiced sounds.

The fourth step is to learn new sounds.

th bath bathtub

wh whip whip

ng ring ring

qu squid squid

b thumb thumb

Fifth Step, the pronunciation of long vowels. Vowel letters are pronounced as long vowels in stressed open syllables. Semi-vowel letters y are pronounced as long vowels i-e in stressed open syllables, and in stressed closed syllables, the final unstressed syllables are pronounced as The short vowel of i. In stressed open syllables, i is sometimes pronounced as the long vowel ee, and in unstressed syllables, it is pronounced as the short vowel i.

I I he he she she we we child child gold gold

cry cry fly sky spy spy

gym gym baby candy candy puppy puppy

ski ski taxi taxi prestige prestige

The sixth step is the beauty of music. After adding r to the vowel letter, it will make a retroflex sound, and in the stressed relatively open syllable, it will make a long vowel sound (note that after the vowel, the c and g before the magic e will make a soft sound).

Step 7, the pronunciation of the long vowels a-e.

There are many ways to write long vowels. Note that in the letter combination, the first vowel letter is pronounced as a long vowel, and the second one is silent.

day day tray tray (the long vowels a-e at the end of the word are represented by ay)

Step 13, the pronunciation of vowel letters in unstressed syllables.

i, e, y pronounce the short vowel of i in unstressed syllables. For example:

begin start enough city city

ar, er, ir, or, ur pronounce the weak retroflex vowel er in unstressed syllables. For example:
