welcome to this session
that is designed to teach you how to pronounce the
words.
Now the question that I've always been bombarded with
by students from year to year is how do I pronounce the spread wars?
There are two answers
to this question.
The first one is translate tradition.
When you use translate tradition,
you will take the Greek ward
letter by letter
and you will translate that Greek letter
to the English counterparts
and then put the English counterpart together and pronounce they let us together.
Now let's look at this example
Now,
if you look at this example,
Lambda will be transliterated as l
oops alone will be translate treated as who
Omega
will be translated treated as oh,
When you put the three letters together, you will have
l ju oh
which you can then pronounce easily as it is
now. The second method is to do a sight reading
instead of transliterated thing
the letters one after the other,
from Greek into English.
You will do your transportation mentally.
I don't need to break this down. I know this is l. I know this is you.
I know this is Oh, and then I pronounce it blue.
Now, the next question is which of these two methods should I use?
Now let me take an illustration from music.
This piece you're looking here
is a tonic sulphur
of
a very popular music joy to the world.
This is made
so that people that who cannot read musical notes and yet was to play organ
can always find their way out.
Now, this is the original piece of that tonic software.
You have the
music optimum and you have all of them in place.
I know. The next question you will ask me is which of this means style should I use.
And my answer will be
be the skillful decision.
Thank you.
