    About this ebook

    Language Intelligence or Universal English by Dr. Rimaletta Ray

    The book Language Intelligence or Universal English is a collection of the three volumes, Book One, Book Two, and Book Three , that represent the three parts of one, interconnected auto-training remedial course on renewing any language intelligence , in general, and the English language intelligence ,in particular. Language fitness is the main prerogative of all the three books.

    Without a doubt, the globalization of economy and a new technological revolution require that we display a much higher level of language habits and speech skills, the skills that do not only meet our immediate needs of communication in English, but also the skills that generate new business opportunities and help us promote an intelligent network building, using English as the main web-tool. Building solid language intelligence is vital for rationalizing our lives at the present choice-driven and digitally focused times.

    The books are helping to create breakthroughs for developing new language intelligence that, in turn, will help readers build up emotional, professional, cultural, and social intelligences that are at the core of global communication now and that are the main concepts of the book Living Intelligence that is , coming out next.

    Book One- is a remedial course of linguistic apprenticeship. Its a theoretical book that is addressed to language learners/speakers who are willing to rationalize and remedy their native or the English language knowledge in the brain. There is an urgent need for language learners to know how language is being processed in the brain to be able to operate it in a much more scientifically-informed way, neuroscience-wise. It also presents a new paradigm of language learning based on the Method of the Right Language Behavior, worked out by Dr. Rimaletta Ray, a doctor of Psycholinguistics.

    Book Two is a practical course. It presents the Method of the Right Language Behavior in action, focusing on remedying a readers Pronunciation, Grammar and Vocabulary habits. It contains and very well structured chunks of basic brain-focused information, and it presents the practical shot-cuts on how to build up the operative language awareness in English

    Book Three is a remedial course, based on the ways that are considerably improving readers Speaking, Writing, Reading, and Listening Skills. It contains the shot-cuts of the remedial work on the speech skills and the know-how to better choreograph them in face-to- face and digital communication.

      Accent Issues

      Since we are remedying your language as a whole, in the unity of the language habits and speech skills and following the hierarchy of general language awareness, presented in Goal 3 p. 63, we need to remedy your English, starting with the micro-level, or the Physical Level of your language awareness. It is your pronunciation level. Bad, messy, unconscious pronunciation conditions badly your speech skills.

      To begin with, you need to make yourself sound better in English and add more confidence to yourself. Remember, Inspiration or desperation! So, inspire yourself! Better your pronunciation of this beautiful language. Say to yourself: "I speak with an accent, but I do not think with an accent!"

      For your information, any foreign ambassador speaks with an accent, but he / she sounds comprehensible and very intelligent because they speak correct, fluent, vocabulary-adequate English. That is what we will help you acquire with this book. Pronunciation is truly a hassle for many foreign language students. The British people most reasonably say, We say Manchester, but pronounce Liverpool. That is very true because the English letters often combine with one another, producing the sounds and diphthongs that have nothing to do with the pronunciation of the letters themselves.

      Accent is the thing that cannot be totally fixed because you were not born in an English speaking country, nor did you start learning the language as a child. Language is mostly perceived in an auditory way and therefore, kids that were exposed to a foreign language early in their childhood normally do not have any accent, and they operate the language easily in emotional situations, too. As a matter of fact, the ability to use a foreign language in emotional situations testifies to its mastery because it shows that a person, using the language does not control it mentally. He or she is way beyond that stage when speaking a foreign language is close to native language mastery.

      That is why, when we learn the language in an adult age, we can hardly get rid of an accent. It is, actually, not a big deal as long as you sound recognizably and your English can be easily comprehended. This is what we try to accomplish with this part of the book. Follow the explanation below, checking it out with the chart that systematizes the pronunciation of all the five vowels. (Remedy 4) Visualize the examples and try to do that each time that you have a difficulty in the pronunciation of the English words. The main pronunciation tools or remedies are prescribed for you below. Jot them down and have them handy on the index card.

      Fix the Pronunciation of the

      English Vowels

      There are many different shades of the pronunciation of the English consonants that are very well commented on in any book on pronunciation. Most noticeably, your pronunciation suffers due to the mispronunciation of the English vowels that can be very tricky.

      Let’s take a look at the pronunciation of the English letters in the Alphabet. There are six vowels in it. They are: a, e, i, o, u, y. Each of these vowels is pronounced differently in the 4 main types of syllables, presented below.

      A syllable is a combination of consonants and vowels. (See the chart in Remedy 3 below)

      1.) An Open Syllable - is the syllable that ends in a vowel.

      In an open syllable, all the English vowels are pronounced in the same way as they sound in the alphabet: a [ei], e [i:], I [ai], o [ou], u [ju:], and y [wai]. The last vowel - y- will be, in fact, pronounced in the same way as the vowel - i [ai], like it is in the words: my; fly; defy etc. (Check the chart at page 87).

      E.g. Ra-te; re-form; ti-de; vo-te; pu-pil; ny- lon etc.

      You see that if the syllable finishes in a vowel, the vowel does not change its pronunciation. Read the following words. Pay attention to the open syllable in which the English vowels are used. Try to read these words out loud correctly.

      E.g. Bra-ke; ci-te; po-le; hu-man; rye; ba-con; bi-te; dia-lect; le-gal; po-le, stu- ent; use-fu; ho-me; re-cent; de-mon; by-pass; vi-ne.

      2) A Closed Syllable - is the syllable that ends in a consonant. A consonant is a voiced or voiceless letter or sound, like p, b, h, l, k, m etc. The consonant closes the syllable and, therefore, changes the pronunciation of all the vowels. (Check the chart at page 87) Pay attention to how every vowel changes its sounding. Try to read these words out loud correctly.

      E.g. Sal-mon, cat, bank, cab-bage, ebb, in, myth, nag, but, cul-ture, pond, Rap, sad, syn-tax, tint, van, win

      Did you get an idea? So, whenever you need to read a word, pay attention to the syllable in which this or that vowel is used. You might have automatically read all those words without making a single mistake. Good for you! Now take your time and read them all over again consciously, paying attention to the type of the syllable in which the vowel is used.

      Remember, the first reading is always unconscious. Then you read the words consciously. For sure, this repetition will leave its image in your brain, and you will not make any mistakes in the future. Now, you will say the word culture correctly.

      There are two more types of syllables to go:

      3. An R-Syllable - is the syllable in which the letter-R- follows the vowel and thus, changes its pronunciation completely. (Check the chart below) Here you go:

      Car, port, tern, sturdy, whirl, girl, myrtle, jargon, fern, force

      4. An Re- Syllable It is the syllable in which the vowel is followed by the two letters - re that
