BOOSTER: Mastering Tricky Sounds in English
The BOOSTER section is designed to help learners overcome pronunciation challenges with words that contain difficult letter combinations or unfamiliar sounds. Many English learners struggle with specific letters due to differences in their native language’s phonetics. This section provides focused practice to improve clarity, confidence, and fluency in spoken English.
What You’ll Find in BOOSTER:
🔹 R & L Words – Strengthen pronunciation by distinguishing between tricky R and L sounds. (e.g., right vs. light, road vs. load)
🔹 H Words – Master the H sound (both silent and aspirated) for better clarity. (e.g., honest, house, hour)
🔹 V & W Words – Avoid common mix-ups between V and W, which many learners confuse. (e.g., very vs. wary, vine vs. wine)
🔹 SC & CH Words – Learn the difference between SC (like “school”) and CH (like “cheese”). (e.g., schedule, chorus, character vs. chair, choose, challenge)
🔹 Hard G & Soft G Words – Recognize when G sounds like “go” and when it sounds like “giraffe.” (e.g., gift vs. giant, game vs. gym)
🔹 Silent H Words – Understand when H is pronounced and when it’s silent. (e.g., hour, honest vs. hotel, history)
🔹 F Words – Perfect the F sound to prevent confusion with P or V. (e.g., first, fluff, friend)
🔹 Soft C Words – Learn how C can sound like S in certain words. (e.g., city, celery, cycle)
🔹 Double & Triple Consonant Words – Strengthen pronunciation in words with challenging consonant clusters. (e.g., strength, scramble, crisp, script, squirrel)
