The alphabet is the basis. This is where learning begins native language. We become familiar with the writing of letters and their sound meanings. Learning English is no exception, since the English alphabet is the first and most important step, the basis that will allow you to create the skeleton of your future knowledge!

So, let's begin!

There are 26 letters in the English alphabet: 20 consonants and 6 vowels.

Consonants: "B", "C", "D", "F", "G", "H", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "P", " Q", "R", "S", "T", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z".

Vowels: "A", "E", "I", "O", "U", "Y".

Depending on the arrangement and combination, the letters sound differently. In total there are 44 sounds.

Table of letters of the English alphabet: transcription, pronunciation in Russian

The table shows the alphabet in a simple form, where you can clearly see how to write english letters, get acquainted with their transcription, designation in Russian and listen to the pronunciation of each letter in English.

A small digression - Why is transcription needed?

Because when written, the letters of the English language are different from how they are pronounced. In general, transcription is a graphic recording of the sound of a word, i.e. for us Russian speakers and students English language helps you hear the differences between the spelling of a word and its pronunciation.

The table shows each letter of the English alphabet with transcription, spelling in Russian, as well as voice pronunciation. To listen to the audio sound, simply click on the play button of the desired letter.

The first thing anyone who wants to master English needs to learn is, of course, the English alphabet. Let's talk about him. Since there is a lot of information, I divided it into sections.

Letters of the English alphabet.

The modern English alphabet has 26 letters (in English, letters are called letters or characters - chars for short). Each letter can be uppercase (uppercase / large) or lowercase (lowercase / small). Latin letters became the basis for the English alphabet.

The exact shape of printed letters depends on the font.

Inscription of letters of the English alphabet.

I highlighted the vowels in red and the consonants in blue.

The sounds of the letters of the English alphabet differ in different options. So last letter Z in English version The pronunciation sounds [zed] /, and in American it sounds [zi] /. The British pronounce “zed” because the letter is derived from the Greek letter “Zeta”, which passed into Old French as “zede”, from where it migrated into the English alphabet in the 15th century as “zed”.

Americans pronounce the letter “z” by analogy with the names of other letters: B, C, D, etc. The first American pronunciation of the letter “z” was recorded in Lye's New Spelling Book in 1677. This decision was long disputed, but was completely accepted in 1827 after Webster's publications.

Today, most of those who study the English alphabet also call this letter. Most likely, this trend is explained by the fact that in most songs about the alphabet it is sung, since it is easier to choose a rhyme for this pronunciation option.

• — Now I know my A-B-Cs

• — Next time won’t you sing with me?

But the British are not lagging behind, and today the ending of the song is also widespread

• - Sugar on your bread. Eat it all up before you are dead.

English humor, isn't it?

English alphabet capital letters.

Pay attention to the new trend of writing the capital letter A. Today it is customary to write it the same way as the small letter, although previously it was written similar to the Russian capital A. Here is a variant of the old spelling.

It is worth saying that among those studying the English alphabet in other countries, few people use capital letters. This trend is also emerging in countries where English is their native language. Look at the two handwritten texts. In the first version, ordinary letters are used for writing, connected in a letter in a way that is convenient for the writer. The second version uses capital letters of the English alphabet, of course, with handwriting features.

And here’s what a calligraphically verified version of handwritten English looks like. The written English alphabet looks exquisite.

And this is what English doctors write. Reminds me of something, doesn’t it?

Vowels of the English alphabet.

There are 6 vowels in the English alphabet. Do not say “vowel letters of the English alphabet”. A letter is an outline of a sound. A vowel or consonant, as well as voiced, hard, soft, hissing, etc., can only be sound. OK, let's move on to the letters of the English alphabet that convey the vowel sound. These are A, E, I, O, Y, U - a total of 6. Each letter can express several sounds.

• [ı:] – long and;
• [ı] – short and;
• [ɜ:] – wide e;
• [ıə] – ie;
• [α:] – long
• [e] - short E

• [əυ] – eu;
• [ɒ] – short o;
• - long y;
• [ʌ] – short a;
• [ᴐ:] – long o.

• – yu;
• [ʌ] – short a;
• [u] – short u.

This is how the vowels of the English alphabet are read. Let's move on to consonants.

Consonants of the English alphabet.

There are 20 consonants in the English alphabet.

History of the English alphabet.

The evolution of the English alphabet is evident over the last 1500 years. Although the modern English alphabet contains 26 letters, there used to be more.

After the 6th century, when Christian monks began transliterating Anglo-Saxon using Latin characters, they encountered some difficulties. Anglo-Saxon contained several sounds that could not be written in Latin. Therefore, the monks borrowed three old runes: ð (interdental voiced з), þ (interdental voiceless s), and Ƿ (uinn, analogous to the modern W). The presence of these runes, ligatures (connections of letters) æ and œ, as well as the absence of J and Y is one of characteristic features Anglo-Saxon alphabet. Look at the Beowulf manuscript.

Under the influence of the Norman script, the runic character of the English alphabet gradually faded away and the letters ð, þ and Ƿ soon disappeared. Instead of Ƿ, they began to use double V -> VV, which gradually became an independent letter W as a result of the use of printing presses.

How did Y and J join the English alphabet? Y and U are derived from V, as a result of the differentiation of consonants and vowels. J came from I.

With his characteristic ingenuity, Benjamin Franklin tried to improve the English alphabet. He suggested removing c, j, q, w, x, and y, since they could be replaced by other letters. He also suggested adding six letters of his own invention. But Franklin's alphabet did not catch on.

Today, the most common letters in the English alphabet are e, t, a, o. The rarest ones are x, q, z.

These days it is the most common. It is spoken in all countries, especially in those frequently visited by tourists. Wherever you go, in any corner of the Earth you can easily find a person who, speaking English, can show you how to get somewhere and even give some advice. good advice regarding local rules and regulations.

For this reason, the study of this subject begins at school. From the first grade, a little person prepares for adult life, and thanks to language lessons, for communication - free and interesting, without any barriers, the main of which, of course, is language.

Where does learning a language begin? Of course, from his alphabet. One of the most curious representatives of the English alphabet is the letter “H”. She is eighth in order. And what is noteworthy is that the sound of this letter is similar to the surrounding “ji” and “jay”.

In order to have a complete understanding of it, you need to know the following:

• How is the letter "H" written?
• How to pronounce it(by itself and, of course, in words).

Unlike the Russian language, some have one name, but the words are read completely differently. Here, for example, is the letter “G”. When reading, its seventh letter is pronounced as “ji”. However, in the words “give” (give), “garden” (garden) it is read exactly like the Russian “g”.

Letter h - how to spell it?

The sound of this letter is similar to the Russian “x”. In its spelling, the capital “eych” is identical to the Russian “en”: both letters are written like “N” in exactly the same way. The lowercase one looks like the uppercase “pe”, but with an elongated “tail” (the English “h” really looks like a “p”).

The writing of this letter begins from the end of the “tail”:

• First, they put a period, as if they are going to write “p”.
• instead, a loop is drawn (the line begins to move to the right and, leaving a rounded mark at the top of the line, descends to its very bottom so that the starting point along with a short segment remains on the left side);
• the last stage is writing the usual Russian “p”.

The process overall is quite simple. At first, of course, you can get confused in all the “loops” and transitions to native letters. But with a little practice, even a clumsy first-grader will quickly cope with “hey”, writing it out confidently.

How to pronounce the letter eh?

The letter "h" is one of the consonants of the English language. It is precisely in sound that it corresponds to the Russian “x”, with the difference that its sound is lighter, airier (it is classified as a voiceless consonant).

There are specific rules that explain when and where the sound “ah” occurs, as well as which pronunciation is correct.

• This letter is written exclusively before vowels. The tongue should be in the same position as at rest. The lips are somewhat open, relaxed, but not too wide.
• The desired sound is formed in the gap between the vocal cords. The air, passing from the lungs outward, creates friction and produces the same sound similar to “x”. The ligaments, however, do not vibrate.
• It is necessary to take into account that the Russian analogue of the sound of the letter “eych” is excessively noisy. In order to avoid making a serious mistake when pronouncing English word, you need to relax the top of your throat, and make the air push aspirated and less intense.
• An exception is the letter “eych”, located between two vowels. In this case, its sound will be more sonorous and expressive.

The modern English alphabet was based on the Latin alphabet and, unlike the Russian language, which has 33 letters, has only 26. In the article you will find the transcription and pronunciation of all the letters of the alphabet, both in Russian and in English. Detailed pictures and voiceovers will help you learn every letter in a matter of minutes.

And for those who have a level above the elementary level, we have prepared interesting idioms and tongue twisters for each individual letter of the English alphabet for speech training. They can be printed out, hung on the wall and read, thereby improving your pronunciation skills, at any time.

Despite the fact that many people know English at a decent level, most of us still have difficulty pronouncing the letters of the English alphabet. In conversations with colleagues or friends, you have probably come across descriptions of English letters like "s like a dollar", "i is like a stick with a dot at the top" etc., when they dictated your e-mail address, the name of a website, or asked you to spell your first and last name over the phone in Latin letters exactly as it is written in your passport.

Despite the fact that all the letters seem extremely familiar, the alphabet that everyone learns in primary school is forgotten very quickly, and sometimes we cannot correctly read even simple words in a smartphone, advertising brochure, online store or airport. That is why we recommend that everyone, regardless of age and level of English proficiency, learn or repeat the alphabet.

How many vowels and consonants are there in the English alphabet? Features of Latin pronunciation

So, no matter what methods you use to learn English in a short time, you should start with the alphabet. The modern English alphabet was based on Latin and, unlike the Russian language, which has 33 letters, the English alphabet has only 26.

Only 6 letters of the English alphabet can be pronounced as vowels: A, E, I, O, U And Y. While 21 letters can form consonants: B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y And Z.

In total, there are 44 sounds in the English language. Since there are 1.5 times more sounds in English than letters, some of them are pronounced differently: for example, the letter C in a word  play_circle_filledCity pronounced like Russian "With", and in the word  play_circle_filledCat we hear the Russian letter "To".

Note that the letter Y can denote both a vowel and a consonant sound: for example, in the word  play_circle_filledYes we hear a consonant sound "th", and in the word  play_circle_filledMany there is a vowel sound at the end "And". All consonants in different words usually convey only one sound, with the exception of the letter X which sounds like "ks".

When learning the alphabet, note that the letter W as an independent unit it denotes a consonant sound, but as part of digraphs (a sequence of two or more symbols) it easily forms vowel sounds. The same rule applies to letters R: in British pronunciation the letter sounds like "A", in American - "ar".

Last Latin letter Z in the British version of English, which is widely used in the UK, Canada, Australia, South Africa, it is read as "zed", and in American, i.e. for US residents - "zi".

Immigrants and travelers to countries such as the UK, USA, Australia, Ireland, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates or Canada have probably been asked to spell their first and last names.

That is why such a skill as "spelling" will be useful not only in regular work to pronounce the name of the site and email address, but also when traveling to another country and, even more so, when immigrating abroad.
