PRONUNCIATION: DISAPPEARING SOUNDS /t/ and /d/

Sounds disappear
When the sounds /t/ or /d/ occur between two consonant sounds, they will often disappear completely from the pronunciation.

PRONUNCIATION – /ə/ Schwa

Hi guys!

  Last week or so, I explained to you about one of the most common sounds in English
  /ə/ Schwa.
 Hope it is  of great help to you.

HOMOPHONES

Homophones are words that have the same sound (pronunciation) but different meanings and (usually) different 

spelling. Some simple examples are:

be/bee

plain/plane

to/two

                                                ADVANCED INFORMATION ON TYPES OF HOMONYM HERE

                                                 MORE EXERCISES HERE . EASY – MEDIUM – DIFFICULT

                                                      GAMES FOR EXTRA PRACTICE HERE

In these homophones matching games you have to find the homophones that match each other, and drag them side-by-side. This is a really fun way to improve your English pronunciation and your spelling at the same time. Start any level you wish, but if you ask me, I'd start with the Elementary level first.

Good luck and have fun!

Elementary	Game 1	2	3
Pre-Intermediate	Game 1	2	3	4
Intermediate	Game 1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8
Upper-Intermediate	Game 1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Advanced	Game 1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
