much like such a bad word.
Carefully look at, study and say each sound as seen here and repeat the word or phrase from
memory several times. Listen to yourself say each sound. lt is well to practice saying a
.longer utterance repeatedly at different times until it is said smoothly, fluently..working up to
some 70 to 75 sounds in 5 seconds. Some of these patterns do not sound natural at slower
than 15 sounds a second.
No accent stress is shown. Just say the vowels exaitly as you see them. The stronger vowels
automatically make their part of a word stronger. Garefully say each vowel properly.
The usual spelling and basic meanings are here. See a regular dictionary for full meanings.

Notes for Americans - native speakers of English
This dictionary is not for learning the classical "correct" pronunciation. lt is for speakers of other
languages to learn to understand what Americans say when speaking naturally fast. Here the
patterns of sounds are those of fast informal casual speech of around 15 sounds a second. lf
said more slowly they may sound unnatural...so speed up! Speak naturally fast.
After childhood speakers of other languages in learning English, at first (and maybe for a
lifetime if not properly taught) don't hear some English sounds properly or not at all (such as the
er-sound). To many of them cat, cot, caught, curt, cut all sound like cof.
It is jmportant for an ESL (English as a second language) learner to fix in his own mind his
own internal perception of his saying an acceptable pronunciation. Don't mess up a learner by
your saying the utterance while he is trying to home in on what is acceptable or is repeating it
properly to fix.it in his mind.(fhe same sound, as heard by a third person, is perceived differently
when a learner internally hears himself say it than as to how he hears it said by someone else
from outside,..just like most people don't recognize their own voice when hearing it from a
recording. That doesnT sound like me)
Helping a foreign learner to speak By trial and error have him repeat the same thing, a little
differently each time. When (by chance!) it is said well enough, nod your head and have him
repeat it the same way, 5 or 6 times only, to fix the pronunciation in his mind. Then go on to
practicing other utterances in turn each only 5 or 6 times. Then back to the first one.
Speaking with over-precise "correct" pronunciation is part of a foreign accent and may
change the meaning or even not be understood. She's krnd uv cute - sheb kinda cute yoozd too
(used 2)..yusta
Catching on to how words are run together with changes in sounds is not something that
can be "picked up" by older learners just from being among Americans. This requires learning
things which Americans, even many ESL English teachers, are not aware of.(See Sound Changes
inside the back cover.)
Some of the forms listed here are as the foreign learners think they hear them. Others are
the true sounds., often not quite like what Americans think they say. A little o or u up high is for
the l-sound with no vowel afier it and r before vowel starts with a quick u (1/50 of a second?) ur-.
meddle, medal medo local loko rite, right, wright, write well urott weu
meadow medo loco loko Sound Changes 48, 52
Native speakers from a natural context can fill in, reconstruct a word not clearly heard. But
foreign learners without a natural background of English can't and so have to depend much more
on hearing every little sound and realizing what it could be if said fully, slowly. Sound changes
from formal to informal are not just hit or miss by chance but follow definite phonological
principleb (natural rules of how sounds change). ESL learners should become familiar with these
rules as listed in souND CHANGES inside the back cover, pages '176,177.
Words similar in pronunciation or spelling are grouped together..perhaps in several places.
Variant pronunciations are listed separately according to their sounds..
Except for a few special vowel sounds using IPA (lnternational Phonetic Alphabet known
by many students of English abroad), regular letters are used in much the usual way.. But k and
s for the letter C (except ch), no q nor x and zh for the "s" as in pleasure may make some words
look a bit strange. Just read each letter aloud sound by sound..faster and faster!.
Please don't take it amiss to see here words* you seldom see written..except as on walls
you know where! Learners must know these No, no, no! words and so be careful in saying
similar "good" words! Or to not use them as everyday "working" words like some American
workers and enlisted military personnel do!
For words with tricky spelling.. look them up here by sounds..phlegm, ptomaine, dianhea...

American Spoken English
Phonetic Dictionary
Foreword
In common ordinary real life we hear more than we speak, read some and write very little.
Foreigners (people who speak other languages) in learning and using English as a second
language (ESL) have their greatest real trouble in hearing the sounds of and understanding what
is said by Americans (Ihat's what the people of the United States of America call themselves!).
The ESL users would like Americans to understand more readily what they say to the Americans.
In ESL instruction much attention is given to mastering the "correct pronunciation" which the
Americans themselves don't care much about using In real life. In speaking naturally fast
Americans shorten and change sounds as they run words together. That's not being sloppy or
careless. Americans are just doing what comes to them naturally .. as learned in childhood!
In ESL instruction, learners are sort of taught in reverse. They are expected to learn chaotic
irrational English spelling, and in spite of it try to remember how the words are said one by one
by a few teachers. They don't study from hearing real-life voices..the form of English used most.
lf you don't understand properly what Americans say, like missing, not catching some little
weak short sound, you won't know what to do or say..or even do something wrong and lose your
gI
bus or job!...no matter how "correct" pronunciation is! Understanding natural speech should
come first. Then speak that way for the Americans to understand you better. Understandable
meanings are said in groups of words which are put together quickly The faster Americans
speak the sounds become shorter and shorter and groups of words sound like long words.
Little children learn sounds just by hearing. But older learners have to have things explained
to them..things that Americans don't know they do with sounds when speaking naturally fast..
Because of speaking another language the older learner's ear does not hear some English
sounds correctly..or not at all. The ear is not so oood for learninq new sounds. But the defective
ear can be by-passed by using the eye. The eye sees a picture, diagram, a special letter and
prints into the brain the exact idea, concept of a sound. Then the mind tells the ear what to try to
hear. lt soon.learns to properly hear that sound which the brain already knows. Next the mind
and the ear guide the tongue to speak naturally..like Americans really do...if you don't want to
have a foreign accent! Good or bad that's the way Americans talk naturally and understand best.
Also sounds and sound patterns can be learned by reason, thinking .. just like doing
arithmetic, mathematical problems. ESL learners can use some sounds of their own languages
as bases (particularly the vowels) to work out exactly what the new sounds of English are. lf
learners don't see that the new sound is not like one of their sounds they will think it is that sound
and use their sound, instead of the different English sound, when speaking English. There are
definite rules of how sounds change. When you know those rules you will know how certain
words will come, or did come, together to make sounds different than the original words.
Use of this dictionary
Here in this dictionary you see exactly the sounds Americans really say. Little numbers
explain why they are said that way.
Start by learning wellthe American vowels as seen on page 4 and on the back cover.
Look over, read, study the Sound Changes inside the back cover, pages 176,177.
You can
:
1 get the basic meanings of words, phrases and expresions that you hear
2 see how Americans naturally say words that you already know
3 practice speaking naturally fast
Because the usual English spelling does not show the exact sounds and how they change we
use special letters for some of the vowels. For the other sounds we use the usual letters. See the
back cover of this book.
Keep in mind that a is before o and a is after it .. a o a. After e comes e, with c before o
and u before u .. g e, c o, u u....in the same order as seen in the line of vowels on the back
cover and page 5.
lf you are interested in knowing why and how sounds change the little cursive /falic numbers
show the Sound Changes inside the back cover to look at. Or just carefully read aloud the word
or phrase sound by sound many times until you can say it easily, smoothly from memory..
To speak American English naturally ..no "foreign accent"
A Foreign Accent is speaking NOT like Americans do.
The faster Americans speak, the more they run words together and change sounds. To not
change sounds and not run words together is unnatural...Not doing so is a part of a Foreign
Accent. Also saying individualwords with a precise "correct" pronunciation is a part of a Foreign
Accent. There are 6 forms of the word fhe. (See thi in the alphabetical listing.) Not hearing some
and not using all naturally can cause misunderstanding .. and be a part of a foreign accent..
Of first importance are the vowels. Check with a helpful American to be sure you have a
precise concept in saying each of the 13 of the General American vowels shown here..like
professional radio and TV personalities speak. Southern and Easfern American vowels are a little
different.
Next, study well the Sound Changes listed inside the back cover. Listen for them when
Americans speak. Make a recording of yourself talking naturally...a conversation around a table,
a telephone answering machine tape or just reading aloud. Then check to be sure that you are
doing sound changes 6, 8, 33, 35, 36, 37, 39, 48, 49, 50, 52, 53, 54, 55. Make these a habit
whenever you speak. Keep in mind the other changes and use any of them whenever it feels
natural. Practice reading aloud 20 minutes a day keeping in mind these changes.
Knowing it in the head is not enough! The brain cells have to grow connections and the
speahing musc/es need physicaltraining. This alltakes time., Just feelino that vou knovr it is not
enouqh!
Vowels - See the back cover of this book
There is no movement of the lips, tongue nor of the mouth when learning to say a vowel.
There is a definite different place, position for the lips, tongue and mouth for each one. Some of
the American vowels are like those of an ESL learner's own language. As you step-by-step open
the mouth and form the lips like to kiss notice which vowels are exactly like those of your own
language. In between the vowels of your language are some different new vowels of American
English. Use vour vowels as bases to say the English vowels between them.
As you go through the 13 vowels write below some of them the vowels of your languagage
which are exactly like them. Say the first of your vowels then skip, jump, pass over to the next
one of your vowels. Clearly listen to your voice say each of your vowels. Then put between them
a sound which is not the same as either..like a step from one to the other.
Use the ears of an American
Because your ear still does not hear some sounds correctly, you need a native speaker of
English to help you say each vowel exactly. Keep trying a little differently each time until the
American says it is good enough. Then repeat what you say correctly 5 or 6 times to imprint it in
on the brain. In practicing the vowels always start with 1 and work through to 13. Repeat many
times until you can all them, 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10 ..11 ..12..13 without looking at the letters.
In the same way whenever you feel that you are saying some sentence well, fluently, have
an American listen to you to tell you what doesn't sound natural.

Write here the vowels of your language which are like American vowels.
Consonants
These are sounds where something moves..before, after or even during a vowel. Many
American consonants are in other languages or are explained in books to learn English. Because
of habits in speaking other languages some need to be learned differently than Americans say
them. lf you don't have the l-sound or th in your language, start them by lightly biting the tip of
your tongue between the upper and lower front teeth. Before vowels start the l-sound and r by
saying a weak u. As you go on to say the following vowels, smile when saying r+vowel and don't
smile for l+vowel.. See Sound changes 47, 50.
For r+vowel the tongue is relaxed back in the mouth. lf you have trouble with the tongue tip
flipping up and hitting the top of the mouth put a sharp pencil straight into the mouth about 2
centimeters on top of the tongue. see sound change 54.
With no vowels after them both I and r become vowels. The I is much like o or u, depending
on the sounds before and after it. The r becomes the vowel ar, often written with just the single
fetter "-1''. See Sound Changes48,49,52
A brief review of the consonants
b voice buzz down in the throat, lips tight together, explode apart

SPeaking Practice
Whether you are a student regularly attending English classes or an ESL speaker who has a
bothersome fbreign accent, you would-do well to spend some 20 minutes a day reading aloud
from phonetic texts of real-iife spontaneous conversations.(See page 166)._Don't read aloud
from materials written in the usual spelling (Iraditional Orthography - TO). TO materials give
wrong ideas about sounds and don't show informal connected speech and from them the eye
puts-migteading, wrong "pictures" into the brain.. lf you use recorded spoken material.'does it
'naue a pfronetic transciipiion and is it of real life or made up to teach English? lf to teach English
it could be good but may not have a feeling of reality, the zest of life itself!.
practice saying a group of words, an utterance, like one long word. Repeat it many times
over several days br weet<s until you can say it again and again from memory at the speed of 70
- 75 sounds in 5 seconds.
Look at the "seconds" hand of a watch as it goes from one figure to another, 5 seconds.
Each time you say the utterance bend a finger down into the palm of a hand..1 to 5. For 6 to 10
use the fingers of the other hand!
What do you want?
34 10 52 18 Sound Change Rules
wo'd}awon' 8 sounds + 3 deletion stops = 11 11 x7 = 77
Practice to say this 7 times in 5 seconds.
Repeat a practice unit (70 .. 75 sounds) only 5 times and then go on to another "S-second"
practice unit. After doing several, 5 times each, go back to the first and do them all over again. lt
may take several practices a day for several days or a week to be able to say 70 sounds in 5
seconds like Americans do when speaking fast. You have to understand them when they speak
that fast!
To learn single words cover the usual spelling and meanings with the right hand and read
aloud down the left side. Try to remember the meanings..without lifting the right hand! Don't try
to learn more than 1 new page a day, Read down the left side 5 times and then go backwards
reviewing (5?) previous pages. Again do the new page for the day..5 times and on around.....
For special study and to test yourself, read down the lists of words with 2, 3, 4 and 5 or more
meanings, pages tOa. And don't forget the words that are spelled much the same but have
different pronunciations and meanings, page 171 .
Hear and Understand
To really understand real-life spoken English you should listen to and study from real-life
voices. This dictionary is good to get the fast spoken forms imprinted into the mind. Reading
aloud from phonetic transcripts of real-life voices, like pages 165, 166, 167 is helpful but you
really need to hear the real life voices..for the brain cells to make connections to catch and
process sounds at 1120 to 1/50 of a second. Knowing in the head is not enough. The brain cells
have to be physically trained to handle fast speech sounds. This make take 50 .. 100 repetitions
of hearing the same real-life voice over several weeks or even months. The brain cells have to
physically grow new connections, form new networks. Intense practice does not speed up the
.,growing". lt just takes natural "groMh" time. You may know it in the mind but training the brain
cells and muscles takes time.
