Dicas para Melhorar Instantaneamente a sua Pronúncia

Vilma Cacciaguerra
1. Preste muita atenção nos sons das vogais:
A
Æ (som intermediário entre “a” e “e”) como em "have"
Ō (som intermediário entre “a” e “ó”) as vezes como em "all"
e "cart", geralmente quando seguido do R ou L
ÊI (exatamente como é pronunciado no alfabeto) como em
"face" e "crazy"
E
Ele pode ser som de "I" como ele é pronunciado na palavra
"dia" ou som "ai" como ele é pronunciado nas palavras
"fine"" e "bike".
I
O i pode ter os seguintes sons:
Som intermediário entre "i" e "e", como é pronunciado em
"magic".
Som de "ai" como ele é pronunciado e'"fine".
O
A vogal "O" pode ter os seguintes sons:
/a/ como em "mother"
/ã/ como em "son"
/ôu/ como em both, told e old.
/ó/ como em "before"
U
O U pode ser pronunciado das seguintes formas:
Ã como em cup
Íu como eu Unit
Uu como em pull, pull, bull
1. Nunca leia o “e” do final das palavras se elas não forem he, she, be ou the (exemplos: whale /ueiol/,
house /ráus/, brouse /braus/)
2. Quando uma palavra termina em consoante e a próxima começa com vogal, nós falamos as duas como se
fossem uma única palavra (o “e” no final das palavras, por ser mudo, não conta). Exemplo: take it, an apple.
3. O mesmo acontece quando uma palavra termina com uma letra e a seguinte começa com a mesma letra,
como em: want to, useful lemon.
4. Quando, numa palavra, um T ou D aparece entre duas vogais ou entre vogal e Y, este T ou D fica com som de
R como é pronunciado na palavra “cara”. Exemplos: lady /lêiri/, university /iunivérsiri/, metal /méral/.

5. Lembre que quando o R vem precedido de vogal, o som dele desaparece ou é distorcido:
a. AR: car /cáá/, bar /báá/;
b. IR: sister /sistõõ/, caller /callõõ/;
c. ER: skirt /sskããt/, flirt /flããt/;
d. OR: uniforme /iunifóóm/, corn /cóon/
e. UR: purple /pããpal/
6. Lembre-se de que em inglês muitas letras são mudas, como em night, tongue, through, island, chocolate,
something, morning, everything.

An atheist was walking through the woods one day in Alaska, admiring all that evolution had crEAted. "What
majestic trEEs! What a powerful river! What beautiful animals!" he said to himself. As he was walking alongside
the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. Turning to look, he saw a 13 foot Kodiak bEAr beginning to
charge towards him.
He ran as fast as he could down the path. He lOOked over his shOUlder and saw that the bEAr was rapidly closing
on him. Somehow, he ran even faster, so scared that tEArs came to his eyes. He lOOked again and the bEAr was
even closer. His heart pounding in his chest, he tried to run faster yet.
But alas, he tripped and fell to the grOUnd. As he rolled over to pick himself up, the bEAr was right over him,
rEAching for him with its left paw and rAIsing its right paw to strike him.
"OH MY GOD!..."
Time stopped. The bEAr froze. The forest was silent. Even the river stopped moving... As a brilliant light shone
upon the man, a thunderous voice came from all arOUnd,
"YOU DENY MY EXISTENCE FOR ALL THESE YEARS, TEACH OTHERS THAT I DON'T EXIST AND
EVEN CREDIT CREATION TO SOME COSMIC ACCIDENT. DO YOU EXPECT ME TO HELP YOU OUT OF
THIS PREDICAMENT? AM I TO COUNT YOU AS A BELIEVER?"
Difficult as it was, the atheist lOOked directly into the light and said, "It would be hypocritical to ask to be a
Christian after all these yEArs, but perhaps you could make the bEAr a Christian?"
"VERY WELL." Said God.
The light went out. The river ran. The sOUnds of the forest resumed...
...and the bEAr dropped down on his knees, brought both paws together, bowed his hEAd and spoke:
"Lord,! thank you for this fOOd which I am abOUt to receive."
