As Vogais do Inglês e do Português - English & Portuguese Vowel Phonemes Compared Each language makes a different use of the articulatory system and phonology is the study of the sound patterns of the language, especially its matrix of phonemes. What is a phoneme?Phoneme the smallest unit of sound in a language that serves to distinguish two words. Example 1:/pIt/ pit and /bIt/ bit are different words with different meanings. The only distinction relies on the manner of articulation of the bilabial consonant. Coincidentally in Portuguese the bilabial consonant can also be realized in different ways to produce two different phonemes (ex: pico and bico). Example 2:/biyt/ beet and /bIt/ bit are also different words with different meanings. In Portuguese however there is only one high-front vowel phoneme, as in vida or linda. Conclusion: Different languages have different phonemes and have them in different numbers. In the beginning learners will perceive sounds in the target language to be phonologically similar to native language sounds. lá - lã pau - pão pais - pães

Rock Radio Opening Sentences for Global Email Readers have asked me to suggest opening sentences for emails that go to people around the world. The goal of these openers is to avoid coming across as blunt and impolite, especially in messages to people from cultures in which English is not the first language. It is wise for people in the English-speaking business world to include a sentence of greeting rather than getting immediately into their business purpose when they write to people who expect and value such email courtesies. Below are a few opening sentences for international email. We hope you are enjoying the season.I hope all is well.How are you? For more ideas on building relationships in your messages, get my book Business Writing With Heart: How to Build Great Work Relationships One Message at a Time. If you correspond with business readers around the world, you can pay attention to the opening sentences they use, and respond similarly. One popular opening sentence is "I hope this email finds you well." LynnSyntax Training
