Features: Qu Gang's heart-stirring Fast Step English·Phonetic Table and Grammar Table marks the end of the history of Chinese people struggling to learn English! One large table explains English phonetic symbols clearly; summarizes mouth shapes, phonetic symbols, and phonetic forms, covering all aspects; a "pronunciation map" for learning English; combines American English, British English, and International Phonetic Alphabet into one table; learning various phonetic symbols with just one table; memorize 57 "New English Phonetic Symbols," making pronunciation accessible to both adults and children. The Phonetic Table unifies the International Phonetic Alphabet and American English phonetic symbols, creating a unified "New English Phonetic System." Most of the symbols are internationally recognized, while the third row includes special rhotic symbols unique to American English, absent in the International Phonetic Alphabet. The "New English Phonetic System" allows learners to recognize both the widely used International Phonetic Alphabet and the missing American English symbols, combining the strengths of both British and American English. Learners only need to master one set of symbols to recognize graphical phonetic symbols and most common American English phonetic symbols.
