FYI, if anyone who doesn't mind American English, the online FREE dictionary by Merriam Webster http://www.merriam-webster.com/ is an excellent reference. It has meanings, synonyms, antonyms, examples sentences(!!), rhyming words (for poets), pronunciations in symbols and, most importantly, in sound files(!!). You can listen to the pronunciation. ABCDE.... and much, much more. There are also word quizzes, popular words, videos etc. Highly recommended. The best free online English dictionary I know. --zpdrmn :j.
Sometimes you just can't speak properly to another local Chinese, when you spell a word, say including letters L or R, if you don't say 'el-lo', 'r-lo' then they would never understand, sigh!
I remember one of my Phonetics professor (British) told us that not all native speakers can pronounce these 26 letters correctly. Some of the native speakers like to pronounce "V" as 'fi'.
teaching english again, man!
回覆刪除再說聲多謝！
回覆刪除在下讀書時期(廿多年前)一直讀錯e字, 因為小學老師教錯, 而中學老師普遍讀錯. 今天, 中小學的英文老師普遍不會教錯讀錯, 中小學及大學學生若然讀錯, 錯在他們, 不在老師了.
回覆刪除現在香港把 e 讀成「衣」的人還是多數呢。
刪除很有啟導意,希望不介意提供一本英文發音字典:
回覆刪除English Pronouncing Dictionary by Daniel Jones
我的是印於1971年的第十三版
這本書在我書桌傍超過四十年。
真巧，我的一本也是1971年版。
刪除我以前也介紹過這本字典：

當閲過你的Link,有點失覺請見諒,這字典對我很有意義,當年時常要與英文台的廣播員一起工作,憑這書令我不至大出醜。
刪除哪裡的話，多謝留言。

用美式英語的人比英式的多幾倍，配合其電影和流行曲，連澳洲傳統上講英式的也逐漸變美式了。

回覆刪除尤其是講電話時。

回覆刪除有可能。像很多香港年輕人的粵語發音不準，把「恆生銀行」講成「痕身銀寒」。
