“What”<\/p>\r\n\r\n
How would native speakers pronounce this word?<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The correct answer is “w\u02c8\u028c”. It is not “(h)w\u03act”. Of course, “(h)w\u03act” is the correct pronunciation in the dictionary. However, if you assume “(h)w\u03act”, you will not be able to keep up with the speed of native conversations and you will not be able to understand the content.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
So it’s clear what to do. It is to replace the “correct dictionary in your head” with the following “back-office dictionary”.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
x “what \u2192 (h)w\u03act”
\r\n\u25cb “what \u2192 w\u02c8\u028c”<\/p>\r\n
what<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
Fortunately, there aren’t that many words to replace. On this page, we have summarized the words that need to be consciously replaced and the ones that require attention to pronunciation, so let’s try to memorize them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In addition, although the phonetic symbols are included in this English card, the phonetic symbols at the end of words may be intentionally omitted. This is to get them into the habit of not pronouncing consonants.<\/p>\r\n
