One of the reasons why English is difficult to learn is due to the various ways of pronounciation that is part of the English language. Moreover, English is a very mixed language and is composed of over ten different languages. These include Latin, Greek, German, Scandinavian, French, Spanish, Manding-Congo (West African), American Indian, Arabic and Celtic. <br /><br />These languages all contribute to English in one way or another. Due to this mixture, one may find five different words all with the same meaning in english. They may be words from the different groups who contributed to the creation of English, (see, 'The Story of English," PBS Broadcasting).<br /><br /><br />LEARNING ENGLISH PRONOUNCIATION WITH THE AFRIKUANDIKA ALPHABET<br /><br />One of the easiest ways to learn to speak english like a professional is to know how english words are created, how to use the mouth and other speaking parts to create these words and how fast or slow the language has to be spoken.<br /><br />This is made easier by the ONLY ALPHABET THAT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT PRONOUNCIATION OF WORDS THROUGH SHOWING. This alphabet is called 'Afrikuandika' (published at Vantage Press, New York, www.vantagepress.com )<a href="http://www.vantagepress.com">TEXT</a> <br />Afrikuandika: The African Hieroglyphic Writing System is off the market, but those who want this great guide to speaking proper english and an alphabet to use as an addition to Roman alphabet or any other, contact the publishers, www.vantagepress.com and ask them to republish and reprint the book.<br /><br />THE AFRIKUANDIKA ALPHABET<br /><br />Afrikuandika is a facinating alphabet that uses the ancient African system of writing as well as the use of codes to send messages over talking drums. The drawings in Afrikuandika show exactly how to position the tongue, teeth, mouth and the control of air in order to crate the proper word.<br /><br />See more about Afrikuandika at <a href="http://community.webtv.net/paulnubiaempire">TEXT</a> <br /><br />Another great book for learning conversational english is the wonderful book, "Americans and their Idols," published by InfinityPublishers <a href="http://www.infinitypublishers.com">TEXT</a> <br /><br /><a href="http://www.buybooksontheweb.com">TEXT</a> <br /><br />This fantastic book has the standard type of english conversation used by everyday Americans and professionals in interactions at an entertainment event.<br /><br />AFRIKUANDIKA VOWELS:<br /><br />ah = as in car.<br /><br />ae = as in agean, Zimbabwe.<br /><br />o = as in 'hello' or 'bordeaux.'<br /><br />e = as in he, really, Fellini. <br /><br />ooh = as in who, grew, you, stew.<br /><br />air = as in star, error.<br /><br />an = as in Angola, croissant.<br /><br />er = as in her, mirror.<br /><br />or = as in for, halt.<br /><br />eh = as in end, men.<br /><br />ur = as in herd, turn, bird, word<br /><br /><br /><br />CONSONANTS:<br /><br /><br /><br />woo = as in well.<br /><br />puh = as in please, sharp, hippo.<br /><br />buh = as in bread, butter, abby.<br /><br />guh = as in guy, hog, green.<br /><br />kuh = as in cream, king, steak.<br /><br />dh = as in do, adding, good.<br /><br />djay = as in Jay, Jane.<br /><br />djee = as in stage, wedge. <br /><br />tuh = as in ten, butter.<br /><br />th = as in thin, thrill, truth.<br /><br />vh = as in very, average, stave.<br /><br />fh = as in found, after, staff.<br /><br />rh = as in Robert, greed, where.<br /><br />mmm = as in hymn, make, dreaming.<br /><br />nn = as in green, near, inning.<br /><br />ng = as in Ngala, Ngano, English.<br /><br />sss = as in Mississippi, Senegal.<br /><br />zh = as in 'jour', Zhou, azure.<br /><br />zzz = as in raise,xylophone, Zulu.<br /><br />kss = as in Xmas, exlaim, tax.<br /><br />tch = as in children, starch,Chad.<br /><br />ssh = as in shall, shape, stash.<br /><br />yee = as in yell, Yaounde, you.<br /><br /><br /><br />AFRIKUANDIKA CHARACTERS CAN BE FOUND AT <a href="http://community.webtv.net/paulnubiaempire">TEXT</a> SCROLL DOWN TO THE SECTION, "AFRIKUANDIKA ALPHABET."<br /><br /><br />Another great source of learning conversational english is the great book, 'Americans and their Idols," go to <a href="http://community.webtv.net/nubianem">TEXT</a><br /><br />"BLACK STUDIES BOOKS"<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20202566-113563001670848186?l=afrikuandikaalphabet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>EnglishLearnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01053891199052581904noreply@blogger.com4
