    The key takeaways are that there are different levels of English pronunciation based on how well sounds are produced, and that the English language is non-phonetic with more sounds than letters.

    Vowels are the letters a, e, i, o, u and consonants are the remaining letters b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z. Vowels represent vowel sounds and consonants represent consonant sounds.

    Some examples of single vowel sounds are a (short), e (short), i (short) and examples of double vowel sounds include ai, au, ou.

    The English alphabet has 26 letters.
    Five of these letters (a, e, i, o, and u) are vowels and the
    remaining 21 are consonants.
    These 26 letters, alone or in combination, represent 44 sounds
    of English.
