Чтение согласных

Звонкие согласные в английском языке не оглушаются и сохраняют свою звонкость в любой позиции слова или предложения, например, a bed [bed]. То есть последний звук будет именно [d], а не [t]. Оглушение звонкой согласной ведет к изменению смысла слова. В русском языке данное явление отсутствует. Например, слово прут и пруд произносятся одинаково и это не влияет на смысл.
Глухие согласные в английском языке не озвончаются и сохраняют глухость перед любым звонким согласным в слове и на стыке слов в предложении: I sit behind it [ai sit be'haindit]. Иначе смысл слова может измениться. Согласные произносятся твердо в любой позиции: pet – [p], bill – [b].

Ударение в словах

Для того, чтобы правильно произнести слово, нужно правильно поставить ударение. Обычно оно обозначается в транскрипции апострофом и ставятся перед ударным слогом. Необходимо помнить, что в каждом двусложном или многосложном слове ударение фиксированное, произвольный сдвиг ударения приводит к акценту или к изменению смысла слова: ’impact – удар, imꞌpact – ударять, ’subject – предмет, sub'ject – подчинять, подвергать.

Ряд двусложных и многосложных слов имеют два ударения, чего нет в русском языке: ’armꞌchair, afterꞌnoon. Слова, состоящие из четырех и более слогов, обычно имеют главное и второстепенное ударения. (См. также приложения в конце пособия).
