How Do You Say?: Dictionary - Paperback

by Judy Thompson (Author)

How Do You Say? is a speaking and writing resource for all English learners. It bridges speaking and spelling with a simple, logical color system. The names of colors are some of the first vocabulary students learn in a new language, colors provide access to pronunciation and spelling for every learner. The icing on the cake is How o You Say? uses only standard keyboard symbols (English Phonetic Alphabet) for its sound forms.

How Do You Say? works like magic. The sound dictionary organizes the 2000 most common English words by the color of their main vowel sound. Regardless of crazy English spelling, learners remember the pronunciation of words beyond the classroom.

How Do You Say? is also a writing resource as students can find the spelling of words they hear.

Last but not least How Do You Say? is a dictionary of expressions critical for advanced learners. English is abstract. Red chair, red sweater and red chair are things colored red. Red tape, red eye and red letter are something else entirely (bureaucracy, overnight flight and good news). How Do You Say? contains thousands of expressions sourced by the color of their main words.
