<p><b>Pronunciation symbols</b> indicate the sounds of consonants and vowels. Dictionaries provide pronunciation keys so that you will understand the symbols used in the pronunciation guide to a word. Below is a sample pronunciation key.</p>
<p><IMG SRC="/wps/media/objects/1624/1663640/prokey.gif" HEIGHT="124" WIDTH="463" ></p>
<p>Note that each letter and symbol is followed by a sample word. The sample
word tells you how that letter and symbol sounds. For example, the long <i>a</i> sounds like <i>a</i> in <i>ace</i>. And the short i has the sound of the i in bit. The symbol that looks like an upside down <i>e</i> (ə) is called a schwa. The schwa has a sound like <i>uh</i>, as in about.</p>
<p>Different dictionaries use different symbols in their pronunciation keys,
so be sure to check the key of the dictionary you are using.</p><br>
