🔤 1. English Alphabets – A to Z
English mein total 26 alphabets (letters) hote hain:

5 Vowels (स्वर):

🔊 2. Pronunciation kya hota hai?
Pronunciation ka matlab hai shabd ko sahi dhang se
bolna – jaisa native speakers bolte hain.
Har letter aur word ki ek correct sound hoti hai. Agar aap
usse galat bolte ho, to dusre log confuse ho sakte hain ya baat samajh nahi
paate.
🗣 Example:
·
“Ship” (जहाज़) aur
“Sheep” (भेड़) – dono ka sound alag hai, lekin spelling milti-जुलती hai.
