Decoding Words

ការអានផ្សំសំឡេង

Sometimes in English, two letters work together to make a special sound.

ពេលខ្លះ អក្សរពីរផ្គួបគ្នាបញ្ចេញសំឡេងតែមួយ (Digraphs) ឬអក្សរពីររលាយសំឡេងចូលគ្នា (Blends)។

Pronunciation Tip: Watch Teacher Sopheak's mouth carefully when she makes the "th" sound. Your tongue must go between your teeth! Practice in front of a mirror.

Teacher, what is the difference between a digraph and a blend?

Great question, Vireak! In a **digraph** (like sh, ch, th), the two letters make ONE totally new sound. You don't hear 's' or 'h', you hear 'sh'. In a **blend** (like st, tr), you can still hear BOTH sounds blended together fast (/s/ + /t/ = /st/). 📚

Why does "school" have 'ch' but it sounds like a 'k'?

Ah, English spelling! 😅 Words that come from Greek (like school, chemistry) use 'ch' but pronounce it as /k/. For A2, just focus on the normal 'ch' sound like in "chip" and "choose". We will learn the exceptions later!
