Features: To、, we have written this easy-to-learn 《English International Phonetic Alphabet Primer》. China is a vast country with numerous dialects. Whether students can eliminate their regional accents, learn accurate pronunciation, phonetics, and discrimination in their initial stages of learning English is very important, as it will affect them throughout their lives. For this reason, we have invited Dr. Honathan DiRollo from the British Association for Cultural Exchange to record a voice soundtrack for this book, enabling teachers and students, especially those in remote areas with limited teaching resources, to hear authentic English pronunciation and intonation. Chinese learners of English need to rely on the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) in addition to listening and mimicking. To enhance their interest in learning English and deepen their understanding, we have also included colorful illustrations when introducing the IPA, pronunciation mouth shapes, word blending, and oral practice. After each learning summary, there is a vocabulary list, and a children's English song 《ABC》 is attached at the back of the book. We hope this 《English International Phonetic Alphabet Primer》 will become the best supplementary reading material for students in middle and primary schools and other beginners of English.
