Beside this, it's also explain the difference between Phonemens and Allophones, in addition to distingusing between syllable and clusters. Phoneme is different type of sound in a language, or the abstract unit or sound; however, Allophones are a group of several phones that served as one phoneme. A syllable contains a vowel ( or a vowel- like) sound. The most common type of syllable in a language has a consonant and vowel, and it represented as (CV).
By knowing these methods and theory, a person is capable of speaking a language, especially English more natural and regular instead of artificial-sounding talk.
