English is an 'unphonetic' language. Owing to this, we are made to learn

spellings in our childhood and regular dictations are conducted is schools. We
have to learn spellings but there are certain rules that help us remember or
form the spellings easily.

English एक 'unphonetic' भाषा है । इस वजह से हम� बचपन से ह� spelling रटाया जाता है एवं
dictation के नाम से पर Regular Tests स्कू म� कराये जाते ह�। spellings याद करना जरूर है परन्त
कुछ �नयम से हम� कई spellings स्वत बनाना या याद रखना आसान हो जाता है ।
