Чтение английских гласных
/ Интерактивные правила и упражнения /
Прежде чем начать изучать правила чтения английских гласных запомните несколько «секретов»: 1. Все английские гласные в открытом слоге читаются так, как называются в алфавите. 2. В английском языке много исключений, которые не поддаются правилам. Их надо запоминать. 3. В безударном положении почти все гласные и сочетания гласных читаются как [ ə ] или [ı] .
