Rachel Smith（瑞秋）是美国播音员，她创办的youtube频道Rachel's English在网络上受到很多英语爱好者喜欢。十年前，瑞秋上传了第一个教学视频，至今她的频道涵盖了基础音标学习，单词短语发音学习，语调知识重音知识，连读弱读缩读以及其他多方面的发音知识学习。瑞秋老师发音地道，每节课的授课内容在5分钟左右，非常适合英语基础薄弱的同学学习。

发音教学第一人Rachel English的优点

Rachel English目前在油管关注量是215万人，在中国也圈粉无数，是最知名的英语发音教学自媒体之一。 台湾著名英语教父赖世雄老师曾这样推荐Rachel老师：

1、是美籍老师，有着地道的美式发音及夸张的嘴型，让学习者很容易模仿。 

2、节目全部都有影像，采用the audio-visual approach （影像同步教学法），特别便于模仿纠正。

现在让我们跟着外教老师Rachel一起来学习26个字母的发音。先不用看中英文文稿，首先观看视频，注意每个字母的口型，然后跟着模仿，操练。然后再看原文，进一步理解文意，最后再看一遍视频。

提示：

一、一开始可能不太适应全英文模式，但配合外教老师的动作和提醒，自己慢慢打开内心，不排斥、畏惧英文，找到一种与英语相契合的亲切感。祝大家早日进入这样一种状态，我们一起共勉！

二、文字中有些抽象的概念不太容易理解，需要配合视频来理解，希望大家可以把焦点定在原视频，多看几遍。

Today I’m going to go over how to pronounce the letters of the alphabet. You may find if you speak with an accent that native speakers will ask you to spell something if they feel they’re not sure they’ve understood what you said. For example if you have a foreign name that is unfamiliar to Americans, you might find them asking you to spell it after you tell them what your name is.

今天我将讨论如何读准字母。你可能会发现，如果你讲话带有口音，说母语的人不能确定他们是否能理解你所说的话时，他们会要求你拼写一些东西。例如，如果你有一个美国人不熟悉的外国名字，你可能会发现，他们要求你在告诉他们你的名字后拼写它。

A is simply the ‘ay’ as in ‘say’ diphthong [e]. A. So you can see the jaw goes from being more dropped, A, to closing more, A, as the tongue reaches up towards the roof of the mouth for the second part of the diphthong. A. The next letters all have the ‘ee’ as in ‘she’ vowel sound [i] where the corners of the mouth pull a little bit wide, ee, and the tongue raises very high, ee, in the front/mid part of the mouth. B. B had the B consonant sound where the lips start together, bb B. And opens into the ‘ee’ as in ‘she’ vowel sound. C. C begins with the S consonant sound, ss, and moves into the ‘ee’ as in ‘she’ sound. C. D. D begins with the D sound, dd, dd, the voiced consonant, and moves into the ‘ee’ as in ‘she’ vowel sound. D. E is simply the ‘ee’ as in ‘she’ vowel sound. E.

简单地说，字母“A”就是“ay”的发音，就像在英语单词“say”中的双元音[ei]一样。所以你可以看到，随着舌头伸向嘴的顶部进行到该双元音的第二部分时，下巴从更多的下降，到更多的关闭。接下来的字母都有 “ee”，就像在英语单词 “she” 中的元音 [i：]，嘴角稍微拉开一点，舌头在嘴的前面和中部抬高。字母“B”有辅音[b]，在双唇之间一起开始，然后在像发单词“she”中的元音一样，打开（嘴巴）发出“ee”。字母“C” 以辅音[s]开始，并像在发单词“she”中的元音一样进入 “ee”。字母“D” 以浊辅音[d]开始，并像在发单词“she”中的元音一样进入 “ee”。字母“E”单纯地就像在发单词“she”中的元音中一样。

F begins with the ‘eh’ as in ‘bed’ vowel sound [e], which has quite a drop in the jaw, eh, eh, F. It then finishes with the F consonant sound where the bottom lip moves up and touches the top teeth, ff, and you release air through that. It is unvoiced. F. G. G again has the ‘ee’ as in ‘she’ vowel sound. It begins with the ‘jj’ as in ‘jar’ consonant sound. G. H. H begins with the ‘ay’ as in ‘say’ diphthong, just like the letter A, but it ends with the ch’ as in ‘char’ consonant sound. H. Ch, ch where you release just air though the mouth position. H. I. I is pronounced with the ‘ay’ as in ‘buy’ diphthong [a]. I. J. J begins with the ‘jj’ as in ‘jar’ consonant sound, jj, it then has the ‘ay’ as in ‘say’ diphthong. J, J. K begins with the kk K consonant sound and then has the ‘ay’ as in ‘say’ diphthong. K.

字母F从“ eh”开始，如在单词“bed”中的元音[e]一样，在下巴处有相当大的下降 。然后以辅音[f]结束，下唇向上移动，碰到顶部的牙齿，然后通过它释放空气。它是无声的，是轻辅音。字母G再次具有单词“ she”元音中的“ ee”。它以单词“ jar”辅音中的“ jj”开头。字母H以单词“ say” 中双元音的“ay”开头，就像字母A一样，但以ch' 结束，就像“char”中的辅音一样。ch音通过嘴的位置释放空气。字母I的发音与单词“ buy” 中的双元音[ai]一样。字母J以“ jj”开头，就像单词“ jar”中的辅音一样，然后再发出“ ay”音来，如单词“ say” 中的双元音一样。字母K从辅音[k]开始，然后像发单词“ say” 中的双元音发出“ ay”。 The next three consonants all start with the ‘eh’ as in ‘bed’ vowel sound. L, L begins with the eh sound and moves into the L sound, where the tip of the tongue, L, L, moves up to touch the roof of the mouth just behind the teeth. L. M. M begins with the eh sound and then finishes with the M consonant sound where the lips come together – M, mm, mm – while you make noise with the vocal cords. M. N. N begins with the eh sound and moves into the N consonant sound. N, nn, where the tongue raises to the roof of the mouth and the lips remain open. N, N.

接下来的三个辅音都以“ eh”开头，就像发单词“bed”中的元音[e]一样。字母L从eh音开始，然后移至[l]音，发此音时，舌尖向上移动以接触上齿后面的嘴顶。字母M从eh声音开始，然后以辅音[m]结束，双唇并拢，同时嘴唇通过声带发出声音。字母 N从eh声音开始，移到辅音[n]，舌头升至嘴顶，然后嘴唇保持张开状态。

The letter O is simply pronounced with the ‘oh’ as in ‘no’ diphthong [o]. O, O. P begins with the P consonant sound, pp, where the lips are together and you release air. It then goes into the ‘ee’ as in ‘she’ vowel sound. P. P. Q. Q begins with the unvoiced kk K consonant sound, and then has the ‘ew’ as in ‘few’ diphthong [ju]. Q. R. R begins with the ‘ah’ as in ‘father’ sound [a] and then moves immediately into the R consonant sound. R, R. S. S begins with the ‘eh’ as in ‘bed’ vowel sound. Eh, Eh, S S. It then moves into the S consonant sound. S. T. T begins with the unvoiced tt T consonant sound and then has the ‘ee’ as in ‘she’ vowel sound. T T.

字母O简单地发音为“ oh”，如单词中“ no” 的双元音[əʊ]一样。字母P以辅音[p]开头，首先嘴唇合在一起，然后释放空气。然后就像发单词“she”中的元音一样进入“ ee”。字母Q从清晰的辅音[k]开始，然后具有“ ew”，如单词“ few” 的元音 [ju：]一样。字母R以单词“father”中的元音[a]，以“ ah”开头，然后立即移到辅音[r]中。字母 S以单词“bed”元音中的“ eh”开头。然后发出辅音[s]。字母T从清辅音音[t]开始，然后就像单词“she”中元音一样发出“ ee”。

The letter U is pronounced with the ‘ew’ as in ‘few’ diphthong. V. V begins with the voiced vv consonant sound where the bottom lip moves up to the top teeth. V, v, followed by the ‘ee’ as in ‘she’ vowel sound. V. W. W begins with the D consonant sound. dd. It then moves into the ‘uh’ as in ‘butter’ followed by the B consonant sound. Double. It then has the schwa and the dark L sound. Double, W. And the ‘ew’ as in ‘few’ diphthong. W. The accent is on the first syllable. W. X. X begins with the ‘eh’ vowel sound, it then has the K and the S consonant sounds together. Eh kk ss. X. Y. Y begins with the W consonant sound, where the lips are in a tight circle. It then opens into the ‘ay’ as in ‘buy’ diphthong. Y. Z. Z begins with the voiced consonant, zz, followed by the ‘ee’ as in ‘she’ vowel sound. Z.

And now, all of the letters of the alphabet. Listen and repeat. If you can record this, that would be helpful. You can then listen to it and compare your pronunciation with mine to see if there are any errors.

字母U的发音与单词'few'中的元音'ew'相同。字母V以浊辅音[v]开头，下唇向上移动到上齿，后面跟着“ ee”，如单词“she”中的元音一样。字母W以辅音[d]开始。然后，它像在单词“butter”中一样进入“ uh”， 接着是辅音[b]。然后具有中元音和[l]音。最后发出单词“ few”中元音的“ ew”音，重音在第一个音节上。字母X从“ eh”元音开始，然后是辅音[k]和辅音[s]。字母 Y以辅音[w]开始，嘴唇紧紧环绕成圆圈。然后，像在发单词“ buy” 双元音中一样进入“ ay”。字母Z以浊音辅音[z]开头，后跟单词“she”元音中的“ ee”。

现在，（我为大家朗读）所有字母表中的字母。听并重复。如果您可以把自己读的录下来，那将会很有帮助。然后，您可以听一下，将您的发音与我的发音进行比较，看是否有任何错误。
