We can easily count the syllables in an English word by using “chin method”. When you place your hand under your chin and say a word aloud, the number of times your chin drops into your hand is the syllable count of that word. A single syllable may contain one to eight or more letters in English. Here’s a list for you to see how so many letters make a single syllable.
As you can see some of the phonetic symbols are very easy to recognise as they resemble the letters in the English alphabet, but some of them are unfamiliar to recognize as they are new symbols. Focus on the unfamiliar symbols to learn them thoroughly. Here’s the list for you.
