Learn English Phonetics and Phonology

Technology has no doubt reduced the world to a small village, making it very possible for someone in a part of the world to carry out certain transactions with another person who is thousands of miles away in another part of the world.

Most of such transactions are done in the English language, making it necessary for everyone who is not a native speaker of the English language to learn to speak the language fluently. This will create an atmosphere where communication in every sphere between native and non-native speakers of the English language will become easy.

The free flow of communication between native and non-native speakers of the English language does not mean that everyone has to learn to speak with the British accent. That is not the goal of Phonetics. Rather, the goal of Phonetics is to promote ease of communication between native and non-native speakers. And this requires good diction on the part of the non-native speakers of the language.
