Alphabet
L'alphabet anglais est formé des mêmes 26 lettres qui composent l'alphabet
français. Cependant, la prononciation en anglais diffère légèrement de celle en français.
Voici une approximation de la prononciation à utiliser.

Les sons “th” et “h”
Ces sons sont particuliers à la langue anglaise puisqu'ils ne sont pas utilisés dans la
langue française. La maîtrise de ces sons vous permettra de prononcer correctement
plusieurs mots et bien vous faire comprendre.
Three est différent de tree
Hate est différent de ate
Chacun de ces mots ont des significations très différentes. Une mauvaise
prononciation de ces mots risque de provoquer la confusion lors d'une conversation avec
un anglophone.
Demandez à une personne qui connaît bien la prononciation des ces sons de vous
guider dans leur apprentissage.
