How to pronounce phonetic symbols

A phonetic symbol:/? /，/e？ /and so on.

1./? /sound (vowel before opening): This phoneme usually appears at the beginning of stressed syllables, such as "cat", "man" and "bat". When pronouncing, the mouth is slightly open and the tongue is located at the bottom of the mouth.

2./e？ /Tone (diphthongs): This phoneme usually appears in the middle or at the end of words, such as "day", "rain" and "play". When pronouncing, the mouth is slightly opened, then an a /e/ sound is made, and then the tongue moves to the back of the mouth, making an a/? /sound.

3./? /sound (middle vowel): This phoneme usually appears in the middle of unstressed syllables, such as the pronunciation in the unstressed suffix "-able" (such as "comfortable"). This sound is a neutral fuzzy vowel phoneme. The mouth is relaxed and the tongue is located in the center of the mouth.

4./ɑ? /sound (vowel after opening): This phoneme usually appears in the middle or at the end of stressed syllables, such as "car", "far" and "start". When pronouncing, the mouth is wide open and the tongue is located in the lower part of the mouth.

5./e？ /diphthongs: At the end of some words, the letter "a" is usually pronounced as /e? /sound, such as "idea" and "area".

It should be noted that the pronunciation of the letter "A" is usually determined by the intensity of the surrounding letters and syllables. When learning English, it is best to master the correct pronunciation of the letter "A" by listening, speaking and practicing more, combined with specific contexts. Accents and contexts in different regions may lead to differences in the pronunciation of the same letter, so we should listen more and imitate more in learning to improve our ability to recognize and use different pronunciations.
