L'alphabet anglais est formé des mêmes 26 lettres qui composent l'alphabet

français. Cependant, la prononciation en anglais diffère légèrement de celle en français.

Voici une approximation de la prononciation à utiliser.

Les sons “th” et “h”

Ces sons sont particuliers à la langue anglaise puisqu'ils ne sont pas utilisés dans la

langue française. La maîtrise de ces sons vous permettra de prononcer correctement

plusieurs mots et bien vous faire comprendre.

Three est différent de tree

Hate est différent de ate

Chacun de ces mots ont des significations très différentes. Une mauvaise

prononciation de ces mots risque de provoquer la confusion lors d'une conversation avec

un anglophone.

Demandez à une personne qui connaît bien la prononciation des ces sons de vous

guider dans leur apprentissage.
