Unit 13 contains introduction information on phonetics. It was quite hard in the beginning to understand because of too much technical words but after several reviews it became easier to transcribe symbols. Now I understand why many people find it hard to read. They are not taught phonetics or not enough of it and instead are made to memorize only. Phonetics is so very important because communication is never complete unless you understand and may be understood at the same time. I also learned that english is not a phonetic language. I think is it because the letters do not have a standard sound unlike spanish and Tagalog. Once the students knows the phonemic alphabet, they would understand and Know the sounds of each letter and how to read out the pronunciation of a word in a dictionary.
