<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>English spelling is crazy and doesn't tell us how to pronounce words. How Do You Say? is a revolutionary new tool for English language learners to source pronunciation, spelling and expressions by the color of a word's main vowel sound.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>How Do You Say? is a speaking and writing resource for all English learners. It bridges speaking and spelling with a simple, logical color system. Because the names of colors are the first thing a student learns in a new language, colors provide access to pronunciation and spelling for even the most novice learners. The icing on the cake in this inclusive publication is it uses only standard keyboard symbols (English Phonetic Alphabet) for its phonetic forms. </p><p>How Do You Say? works like magic. By happy accident the <em><strong>16 vowel sounds</strong></em> of English are featured in the names of <em><strong>16 common colors</strong></em>. The sound dictionary organizes the 2000 most common English words by the <em>color</em> of their main vowel sound. Regardless of crazy English spelling, learners remember the <strong>pronuncation</strong> of words by the <em>color</em> of its main vowel sound. </p><p>- <em>head</em>, <em>said, next, friend </em>and<em> guest</em> are <strong>Red</strong> words as they share the same main vowel sound</p><p>- <em>boot</em>, <em>suit</em>, <em>shoe</em>, <em>new</em>, <em>you</em>, <em>two</em> and <em>beautiful</em> are <strong>Blue</strong></p><p>- <em>pretty</em>, <em>city</em>, <em>sister</em>, <em>busy</em>, <em>women</em> and <em>build</em> are <strong>Pink</strong> and so on</p><p><em>How Do You Say</em>? is also a writing resource as students can find the <strong>spelling</strong> of words they hear.</p><p>Last but not least <em>How Do You Say</em>? is a dictionary of <strong>expressions </strong>critical for advanced learners. English is abstract. <em>Red chair</em>, <em>red sweater</em> and <em>red chair</em> are things colored red. <em>Red tape</em>, <em>red eye</em> and <em>red letter</em> are something else entirely (bureaucracy, overnight flight and good news). <em>How Do You Say</em>? contains thousands of expressions sourced by the color of their main words.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"I learned more in one hour of reading this book than in the last five years!" - CPL Clement Pineault, Quebec</p><p>"The use of color to pronounce vowel sounds is the most brilliant method of teaching pronunciation to non-native speakers" - Maria louisa Manganaan, Toronto</p><p>"Categorizing English words by sound not spelling is the only logical approach to a non-phonetic language.
