Spelling – silent letters

Spelling – silent letters

Course modified date: 16 يونيو 2022

Learn about spelling, specifically silent letters, what a silent letter is, where they are often found and why they are used. This course is ideal for intermediate learners.

Introduction 

In this course we are going to look at how silent letters are used in everyday spellings, and what some common examples of these silent letters are.

You might have noticed that certain words sound a little different depending on the accent of the person who is speaking. Words are pronounced differently all over the world, even though the word being used is often written in the same way from place to place.
However, when we are using silent letters in our spellings, these are letters that are never pronounced – no matter who is saying the word aloud. 

The only time when we will be able to spot a silent letter is when we are writing the word down – or when we are reading it – but you will never be able to hear a silent letter in someone’s speech.

You will learn 
·       Understand what a silent letter is
·       Know where silent letters are often found

·       Understand why silent letters are used
