We all know that English has 26 letters, but there are 44 sounds:
20 vowels + 24 consonants (= 44 sounds listed with examples in the picture above)
So, we need to differentiate between a letter and its sound(s).
The letter "a", for example, has many sounds in English:
- /æ/ as in "fat"
- /eɪ/ as in "fate"
- /ɑ:/ as in "far"
- /ə/ as in "around"
- /eə/ as in "careful"
