19 vowels 24 consonants

English has 19 vowel sounds, far more than the 7 vowels of Italian. Mastering their articulation lies at the core of the soundsEnglish pronunciation system. The 24 consonants offer little overlap with Italian and often require relearning or producing entirely new sounds. Rather than focusing on pinpoint articulation, the sE approach guides students to discover their own articulation in a practical and sustainable way.
