Ways to Say “OUGH”
It’s a pity that English is not phonetic! In some languages,
you can look at a word and know immediately how to pronounce
it. But in English you need to be a little more careful.
Take the letters “ough”, for example. They occur in many
words, but they do not always sound the same.
though (like o in go)
through (like oo in too)
cough (like off in offer)
rough (like uff in suffer)
plough (like ow in flower)
ought (like aw in saw)
borough (like a in above) (love)

Speaking is the second of the four language skills, which are:
In our own language, speaking is usually the second language skill that we learn.
This vocalized form of language usually requires at least one listener. When two or more people speak or talk to each other, the conversation is called a “dialogue”.
“Speaking” is the delivery of language through the mouth. To speak, we create sounds using many parts of our body, including the lungs, vocal tract, vocal chords, tongue, teeth and lips.
Speech can flow naturally from one person to another in the form of dialogue. It can also be planned and rehearsed, as in the delivery of a speech or presentation. Of course, some people talk to themselves! In fact, some English learners practise speaking standing alone in front of a mirror.
Speaking can be formal or informal:
Informal speaking is typically used with family and friends, or people you know well.
Formal speaking occurs in business or academic situations, or when meeting people for the first time.
Speaking is probably the language skill that most language learners wish to perfect as soon as possible. It used to be the only language skill that was difficult to practise online. This is no longer the case. English learners can practise speaking online using voice or video chat. They can also record and upload their voice for other people to listen to.
When we learn to speak our phonetic organs: the lungs, vocal tract, vocal chords, tongue, teeth and lips. has to put in the aoororiate position.
All vowels are voiced.
When producing English vowels it is important to accentuate
the use of the articulators (lips, tongue, jaw movement etc)
– that is move them quite a bit.
Also, often the vowel is resonated at the back of the
mouth or in the throat (achieved by pulling the sides of the
pharynx- throat area at the back of the mouth- slightly in
towards each other), while at the same time projecting the
sound forward.
Vowels are generally said abruptly – not elongated or held
on – even if they are considered a long vowel.
Vowels can be made
.by only moving the mouth into one position (/a/,/e,/i/ etc),
.or can be made by moving the mouth quickly from one position to another.
When moved from one position to another they are called diphthongs.
Some of the diphthongs are- oe, ay, oy, ow, ie (pie).
The placement of the tongue in the mouth varies slightly
from speaker to speaker so the notes provided on how to

position the articulators are a guide to help you make a closer production of the various sounds.
While repeating and copying production of the words and sentences, it is important to also take note of the stress feature. That is, what part of the word, or which words are emphasised (lengthened or the pitch changes) in the
sentence.
These features are important for speech clarity,
and making the meaning of what you are saying clearer.
Note: While the marking / / around a letter usually means
that it is written as in the phonetic alphabet, this has not
been done for the vowels in this program. The / / marking
has just been put around the most common spelling
representation of the sound.

front vowel sounds-part-2
It is important which sounds follows the(i:) its long changes.
for exp: feet -shorter feed-longer because the “t” is an unvoiced sound and “d” is a voiced sound. When we say fee (i:) is same long than in the feed.
In the pre’tty the pre-is stressed that’s why the (i) stronger than -tty.(here short.)
