Pronunciation 

Podcasts one, two, and three  (compilation) 

When you see a word for the first time, how do you say it?
The way we write words,  often does not tell us how to say them.  We do not have many rules to help us.  But we do have some common patterns (things that often work).  You don't have to learn ALL these common patterns, but some of them might help you understand how we usually say words.
