Hello guys ...

What is Phonetic?

              Phonetic is basic in linguistic which study how to pronounce sounds and the sound not change the meaning and the function of a word.

What is Phonetic Symbol?

    Phonetic symbol or International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) Is the visual representation of speech sounds.

          In the Phonetic symbol we learn about Vowel. A vowel is sound produced with a comparatively open configuration of the vocal tract. Vowels are two types:

1. Monophthong (Single vowel) 

                       

      1. ᴂ  = Apple and Sat

      2. e / ԑ: = Ten and Bed / Her and Word

      3. i / i: = Me and See / Happy and Very

      4. ɪ = Sit and Hit

      5. u: = You and Too

      6. ʊ =Put and Food

      7. ə = Mirror and About

      8. ɑ:  = Far and Car

      9. Ʌ = Up, Above, and Love

      10. ɔ: = Fought, Law, and Door

      11. ɒ = Hot, On, and What

2. Diphthong (Double vowel)

     1. eɪ = Hey, Way, and Say

     2. aɪ = My, Eye, and Shy

     3. aʊ = Go, No, and Low

     4. ɑʊ = How, Now, and Cow

     5. ɔɪ = Boy, Toy, and Joy

  Alhamdulillah I have a great parents also  beloved young brother and sister. In my family, I am a second child. I am different from my bro and sist because I am only one fatter and shorter at my home, but I never mind with that because I believe Allah gives every human being lacks and strengths. So Althought I am like this, with less attractive physique but I have a decent logic hehe :D

  Yeah ... I don't wanna be an arrogant person but that's the fact if I always got rangking in the top 5 when I was school and I am only one can speak english in my home event my english isn't fluently yet, also my grammar isn't perfect like others. But it's okay, because when you are wrong one so you will get the right one from that as long as you believe with your ability. 

  Okay guys, I think it's enough for today to tell you a little bit about me and my life so see you in my next post :)
