Phonetics

Phonetics is the study of the way human makes sound during the speech.The phonetics is concerned with the properties of sounds made during speech and how they are generated.Some special notations other than the alphabets of English are used to denote various sounds that has to be generated to pronounce any particular word.So, it is used with some symbols and examples to guide the speakers to pronounce any word in the correct way.The Alphabets which are used are called phonetics alphabets.The word phonetics comes from the Greek word φωνή, phone meaning 'sound'.

So, hundreds of these 'phones' are recognized by an organization called the International Phonetic Association (IPA) and listed under International Phonetic Alphabets.

Phonetics was studied as early as 2,500 years ago in ancient India, with Pāṇini's account of the place and manner of articulation of consonants in his 5th century BCE treatise on Sanskrit. The major Indic alphabets today, except Tamil script, order their consonants according to Pāṇini's classification.

A complete list of Phonetic Alphabets for English Language can be found here.

Nowadays, all the organizations has to compete on world level.Gone are the days even for many government organizations where there was no or very little competition from anywhere outside the country.This is equally true for all the countries.This has made many previously well known anti-English or strictly non-English countries to adopt the language for business.Languages are means of communication and English is a language that is used the most to connect people from all the regions of world.

The importance of phonetics emerges out here.On international level if the organizations are working they need people competent in that way also.Companies are looking now for people good in technology or their field of knowledge and having good communication skills too.The person must be good enough to at least explain the work he has done to people anywhere on globe.He/she must be adaptable enough to work in cross cultural groups.This depends on other things also like team working capabilities and interpersonal skills etc.But without good communication it is very difficult to achieve .This is not only beneficial for the hiring organizations but the people working there are also benefited.Due to this it has become much easier now to get a job anywhere in the WORLD.The boundaries have expanded or say no boundaries are there for getting a job.The communication not only has effect on job prospects but working in a cross cultural environment helps the society also to evolve.The less developed societies and groups are coming close to the more evolved ones and they also grow with them.

Phonetics is a very important component of this communication.One must pronounce the words in a correct way.However , some local/regional accent is natural.But, still people having neutral accent are more preferred.So, if you pronounce a word in a more clear and standard way it becomes neutral accent pronunciation and more easily understood by people anywhere on the Globe.





Now ,again one must be very clear about the phonetics is that "no one is perfect".The people who work with it on daily basis or regular basis are the best.So the key towards a great phonetics is only one and it is "practice","Practice" and "Practice".We are normally adapted to listen and speak in a certain accent ,the accent we are listening since our birth.That particular accent has a deep effect.We are comfortable listening certain sounds and naturally produce some typical sounds or phonetics.This is the regional phonetic or the regional accent.To come over it and develop a good phonetic [neutral] is more of coming out of one mental frame and adapting a another.We slowly by practice train ourself to be more comfortable in listening and pronouncing the new phonetics.So, one must not be afraid of the time factor.Some people learn initially very fast and some later.It is only due to what exposure they have previously.By practicing and determination it is possible to learn any knowledge and it is true for the language English also.

Practicing definitely needs practicing in correct direction.For that many helps are available as local institutions providing phonetic classes and definitely your college soft skills faculty.The best way as I told above is practice.This adapts your tongue to learn to twist-and-dance in a very stylish way.The best way is to speak-speak and speak. I know you love your friends very much and just do not want to kill him listening your uncontrolled bombastically spelled words.So, every day take some time off from your studies/work and your friends too.Take a good English news paper.Do regular reading , pronounce the words and it will be better if you go and practice before a mirror also sometimes.

A table of phonetics alphabets with their sounds in mp3 format is listed here .You can listen to them here.

A very interesting free tool is also there.You can type in the words here and listen to them.One or more sentences at a time.You can use the free text to speech engine here .[This works better with Netscape Navigator Download Here ]

One more free tool is there where if you have interest you can translate your text from english to some other languages and listen how they are pronounced in those languages.Reach the translator engine here .

So, what are you waiting for friends.Start your practice from now.Because each minute counts .

Go ahead .

Speak Well :material

The role of communication is known to everyone.We the humans are blessed with two characters that make us the kings and queens of all his creation.

1.We have freed our hands from walking and created a new world for us.
2.We can communicate most effectively than any creature on earth other than us .

Many stories and examples are there to explain and prove that a right word must be used at right time.One word can put someone in biggest of trouble.One of the major obstacles in communication is lack of knowledge and practice of any language [English here].Lack of practice is more big a problem.

I have uploaded some PDF and Audio files [To be listened with the reading material of the PDF]
This is a nice set of material to practice with.One can learn to speak and also to understand the language with its help.

The best way to learn is to read newspapers [e.g. TOI] and also read it loud in front of a mirror.By reading out we gain practice to speak , i.e. phonetics and pronunciation gets cleared and refined this way.

Download and practice it.

The Night Before The First Job Interview

Ah! what shall I read millions of books are there on each topic what on earth he will ask.I don't know anything man.What if the interviewer might be expert in the subject/domain I know the least.Do I even look like an IT professional.Whole night before the interview was very dramatic.C,Data Structures,DBMS/SQL,Networking,Unix,Operating System,OO Concepts and what else.What shall I study .Oh ! my lord please make todays night at least 24 hour long.How come I will answer with confidence when each drop of it has vaporized tonight.Hey ! Birjit has found some nice material on net.Let us go and see what is it.We must not miss any information tonight.

Cram! Cram! Cram! oh my Lord.

See outside man it's already getting bright outside.My God it's 5'O' clock.So much still to be read.So much still to be discussed.So much still to be touched also for the first time.Hey! what is this? I forgot to shave last night.I had planned to do it after dinner.But , suddenly Mayank came with a question and none of us had ever heard of that stuff.Tic-Tok-Tic gone 2 hours after the question.Some how reached at some conclusion and got rid of it.

I must shave now.My electric shaver takes 30 minutes to cut the grass.Where is the shaver.It's here over the JAVA book.Let us go now .One minute.I forgot to read RMI in Java .Leave it dude go for it now.Opened the book but can't find it.Anyone here knows where is it.All the blank faces.Someone said I think we have seen it in one of our semesters and maybe in the Java book.What an intelligent answer.Anyway searched crammed packed it.We are experts in completing the job of exam preparation within the deadline.What if we start it just before the deadline. :)

Oh! its 6 'O' Clock and sir has asked to reach us by 7.Rush baby rush or you are gone.

Finally, all done and ready with a perfect white shirt and black trouser .Ya the Tie also .Shining black shoes and matching socks and belt.We know every thing.The dress code for interview we were learning from the initial semesters.We are not dumbs.Finally, on our way to college campus.All sleepy eyes and bright dreams gentlemen in perfect traditional uniform of unemployed. Half way the college campus , ishhhh !!! forgot the resume/CV , someone forgot to take the pictures . "RUN " the only option.

Finally , reached the college.

This could happen with anyone or might have happened with many [more or less].The reason to mention it over here to explain some of the pre-interview phobias.One can be much better prepared for the placement procedure if the right preparation is done at right time.This all happens due to inexperience.The root of all this is lack of practical experience.The situation is like you have a bag full of weapons.You are standing in a pitch black african forest.Everywhere dangerous animals are there.Man eating tribes are there.But, what is the benifit of having such a large number of weapons.We can't see where to fire the gun.We do not know the forest.No idea about anything . We fire all the bullets in the direction no one is there and at correct time the enemy comes and takes us by surprise.If some of us still survive he/she learns more about the place and the people and then is in a better if not best position.

But, one more better option can be there.Take a guide with you.He knows much much more about the place and the trends.We can use our labour,work,skills and determination with the correct guidance and can thus win in the very first attempt.

This is what is the purpose of this site.We will share mutually our knowledge and experiences and help each other in this forest .I send you my dear friends my best wishes for your future and expect the same here.It is said also that,"WELL STARTED IS HALF DONE".

Let us grow Together Towards A Future Brighter Than Sun

Friends we all know that experiences are very precious so the people who have already been through this placement ceremony [or Drill] definitely have some experience regarding this.Many of us in our batch , we have written many selection papers and faced several interviews and GD's.So why not just make a common space where we all can share our experiences with the newer members of our family.
