The 44 sounds of English

I guess before we really get into the sounds that the vowels make I would like to give you all the sounds that are in the English language.

You may think that there really are more sounds than these but this is really all that there are.

Take the g, it makes a hard and soft sound; /g/ and /j/. This is every sound that there is.


 
So here goes.

Consonants Sounds	Vowel Sounds
/b/ (bat) /d/ (dog) /f/ (fan) /g/ (gate) /h/ (hat) /j/ (jump) /k/ (kite) /l/ (leaf) /m/ (mop) /n/ (nest) /p/ (pig) /r/ (rock) /s/ (sun) /t/ (top) /v/ (vase) /w/ (wagon) /y/ (yo-yo) /z/ (zebra) /ch/ (cheese) /sh/ (shark) /zh/ (treasure) /th/ (thumb) /th/ (the) /hw/ (wheel) /ng/ (ring)	/ā/ (cake) /ē/ (feet) /ī/ (bike) /ō/ (boat) /yōō/ (cube)̂ /a/ (cat) /e/ (bed) /i/ (fish) /o/ (lock) /u/ (duck) / / (alarm) /â/ (chair) /û/ (bird) /ä/ (car) /ô/ (ball) /oi/ (boy) /ou/ (house) /ōō/ (moon) /ŏŏ/ (book)

# 11 on the vowel side  is an upside down  "e".  It is called a schwa.  I could not find it within Microsoft.   (that is why it is blank.)   I will keep looking for it.  sorry.
 
Great learning to you
