Here, we have included the most important basic information about articulation of sounds, while presenting it in a way that is understandable to every user.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, in each chapter we have added detailed descriptions of the sounds, which consist of three elements:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The way a vowel is pronounced,<\/li><li>A description of the places where the sound appears in words (with examples),<\/li><li>Typical mistakes made in its pronunciation.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hope that, thanks to these elements, learning correct English pronunciation will be even more effective.
