Features: Qu Gang's heart-stirring Fast Step English·Phonetic Table and Grammar Table make the long history of Chinese struggling to learn English a thing of the past! 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 all phonetic symbols with just one table; memorize 57 "New English Phonetic Alphabet" symbols, and adults and children alike can conquer English phonetic symbols. Most people who have studied English know that English phonetic symbols are different from Chinese Mandarin. Chinese Pinyin is nationally unified, while English phonetic symbols have always been diverse, including: International Phonetic Alphabet, British English Phonetic Symbols, American English Phonetic Symbols, Oxford Dictionary Phonetic Symbols, and so on, without end. What's even more frustrating is that different English dictionaries often use different phonetic symbols to mark word pronunciations. As a result, those who have only learned the International Phonetic Alphabet in textbooks are forced to guess, reading words ambiguously and mispronouncing them frequently. Qu Gang, a computer master with years of experience in science and technology English translation, challenges these "messy" phonetic symbols. He spent ten years summarizing a Fast Step English learning method, using one English phonetic table to combine the International Phonetic Alphabet and American English Phonetic Symbols, especially including the American English rolling sounds. This way, the two phonetic symbols are (duìzhào - corresponding), making English learners suddenly realize. The phonetic table unifies the International Phonetic Alphabet and American English Phonetic Symbols, creating a unified "New English Phonetic Alphabet" by combining the International Phonetic Alphabet with common American English phonetic symbols. Most of the phonetic symbols are familiar international symbols, while the third row includes rolling sound symbols unique to American English, which are not found in the International Phonetic Alphabet. The "New English Phonetic Alphabet" allows learners to recognize both the currently used International Phonetic Alphabet and the American English phonetic symbols missing from it, combining the features of "British English" and "American English" into one. Learners only need to master one set of phonetic symbols to recognize graphical phonetic symbols and most common American English phonetic symbols.
The grammar table explains English grammar through "sentence construction," while this book explains the grammar table through "sentence construction." The central purpose of this book is to teach readers how to consult the grammar table and use it to learn English sentence construction. The author believes that grammar is sentence construction, and sentence construction is grammar. The ultimate goal of learning grammar is to master sentence construction—only by learning to construct sentences can one truly master grammar. With the grammar table, it's like having a "grammar map," making the origins and development of English grammar clear. It enables learners to quickly master English sentence construction and, through it, learn grammar. The grammar table brings about a fundamental shift in the way English grammar is learned, from "books to tables," significantly reducing the difficulty of learning grammar. Whether it's a university student who has studied English for years or a primary school student just beginning to learn, they no longer need to rote memorize English grammar. Instead, they can paste the grammar table on the wall, place it on the desk, stand it in the hallway, or by the playground, consulting it anytime they study English. Over time, the content of the table will be naturally memorized—this is the most natural, solid, fast, and thorough method of learning grammar.
