Abstract

See full text

The invention has as its objective to aid an individual proficient in a first language in learning the pronunciation and spelling of a second language. To achieve this objective, a language teaching device comprises a processor, a memory, a presentation screen, an audio component and an input unit. The memory has a database, audio files and games. The database is structured to have at least three subsets. The first subset lists spelling patterns in the first and second languages which have similar pronunciations and words in the second language which exemplify the pronunciation. A second subset lists spelling patterns and words in the second language exemplifying a pronunciation not found in the first language, the listed spelling patterns and associated pronunciation in the second subset follow a general rule of pronunciation in the second language. A third subset lists spelling patterns and words exemplifying a spelling pattern and associated pronunciation occurring in fewer than a predetermined number of words in the second language set of words.
