Summary: Some people oppose the homophony method, fearing that it will mislead students into correct pronunciation. In fact, the purpose of the homophony method is to remember the letter combination of the word, not to remember the pronunciation. Of course the pronunciation should be based on the phonetic symbols, but this does not prevent us from using the principle of homophony to remember its letter combinations. Taking a step back, one of the important reasons why many students cannot learn English well is that they have not mastered the phonetic symbols well. This is a failure of school education. This group of students originally did not read the phonetic symbols correctly. Even if they read according to the phonetic symbols instead of using the homophonic method, they may not be able to read correctly. In fact, many words are translated through homophony, such as sofa - sofa; cola - cola; chocolate - chocolate, etc. From these words, we can see that most students can correctly distinguish homophones and phonetic symbols. Of course, we still recommend that people with relatively standard pronunciation use this method.
