The Alphabet: Vowels

In every language, that I have encountered the vowels have always been and the most integral part. So that is where we will begin today.

English has five vowels: a; e; i; o; and u. The sounds of each letter changes based on the letters with which it appears whether they are consonant or vowel today we will deal with their basic sounds. The sounds which they make on their own.

Once you know these sounds it will be a lot easier to read, listen, and speak. So let us begin.

As we continue keep in mind that the letters of the English alphabet don't always have to distinct names, sometimes letters simply carry their sound as their name as well.
