The Basics

Before we delve into the contents of this course, let's begin by considering the terms 'phonetics' and 'phonology'. Probably you have an idea about what they mean, but the two terms are often confused.

Phonetics, in very simple terms, is the study of how sounds are made. Phonology, meanwhile, looks at the patterns of sounds within languages. Weisser (2005) clearly points out the differences.

As learners of foreign languages, an awareness of phonetics and phonology is essential so as to avoid confusions when communicating orally in the target language(s).
