Language phonetic system and method thereof

Abstract

A phonetics having vowel phonetic symbols separated into full sound symbols and half sound symbols, and consonant phonetic symbols. The full sounds symbols are represented by letters in the English phonetic symbol. The half sound symbols are represented by simple symbols. The phonetics is suitable for the traditional method of marking pronunciation in dictionaries and also suitable for directly marking the pronunciation on an actual word appearing in books, such that the phonetics can be promoted to be used in English teaching materials, enhancing learning effectiveness of learners.
