What about Literacy?

English is easy they said...but did you know that we can find more than 40 different sounds? Some say there are 42, others say you can find 44 sounds....Isn't it AMAZING?

But what do we know about it?

We know there are an American accent and the Brittish one (and many others)... who cares which one you use...but are you using it in a correct way?

What we know is that we can find vowels and consonants but also diphthongs...

Let's start talking about the vowels, well in Spanish we've got 5, right? So how is it possible to find 12 in English? These "vowels"  are referred to different sounds. It depends on how "short" or "long" they are. You can identify the long ones I mentioned before with this sign ":". 

The most common sound is "schwa". Do you know this one?

After all this information, let's learn a bit!!!
