• Consonant Sounds

A consonant sound is a speech sound that is produced by the partial or complete obstruction of air by the lips, teeth, tongue or throat. The Collins Dictionary defines a consonant sound as “a sound such as 'p', 'f', 'n', or 't' which you pronounce by stopping the air flowing freely through your mouth”.
‌

• Vowel Sounds

A vowel sound is a speech sound that is pronounced without the lips, tongue, teeth or throat blocking the air produced when uttering the letter. According to the Oxford Learner’s Dictionary, a vowel sound is “a speech sound in which the mouth is open, and the tongue is not touching the top of the mouth, the teeth, etc., so that the flow of air is not limited”. There are only five vowels in the English language, but there are twenty vowel sounds in total. Out of the twenty, eight of them are called diphthongs. 

• Phonemes

Phonemes are like the secret agents of the language world! They may not look like much, but they're the tiny sounds that hold the power to change the meaning of a word. 

• Allophones

Allophones are the linguistically non-significant variants of each phoneme. In other words a phoneme may be realised by more than one speech sound and the selection of each variant is usually conditioned by the phonetic environment of the phoneme. 

• Minimal Pairs

A minimal pair is two words that vary by only a single sound, usually meaning sounds that may confuse English learners, like the /f/ and /v/ in fan and van, or the /e/ and /ɪ/ in desk and disk.

Key factors for having a better pronunciation in English:

•                    Importance
•                    Pronunciation
•                    Intonation/Diction
