Language is intimately tied to man’s thought, feelings, and activity. A language is part of the culture of a people and the chief means by which the members of a society communicate. Language is studied by many branches of learning: linguistics, psychology, anthropology, education, to mention a few. Linguistics, the science that analyzes, describes, and classifies language, is divided into different branches. One of these is phonology, which studies the sound system of a language. Since language is an oral process, accurate pronunciation, that is the mastery of the sound system, is a prerequisite to complete mastery of the language. Pronunciation is a dual process, because it involves no only the ability to recognize the significant sounds of the language, but also the ability to produce these sounds with accuracy.
