In this unit I have realized how often we use words incorrectly how often we put sentences together incorrectly. I have also learned the meaning of superlative adjective , indefinite articles, transitive verbs or intransitive verbs. The unit itself refreshed my memory and I also learned a few new things which I will be able to use later on as a teacher .This unit was, as usual, very informative. Although I knew of and have been accustomed to the \"normal\" phonetics we find in our dictionaries, I was never aware of the universal/international phonemic chart. Even though it´s all new to me, I recognize the value that this chart holds in helping students gain a deeper knowledge of the English language.
