English-Russian dictionary of translator's false friends
The dictionary contains more than 1000 English words (false friends of the translator), which are similar in sound and spelling to Russian, but have a completely different meaning.
>>>To speak English, it is not enough to know how to spell words, it is important to learn their pronunciation as well. For this, as you know, it is enough to learn the sounds, which in the future you need to be able to read in transcription. And if at first glance the pronunciation of English words seems like something overwhelming, in fact everything is quite simple, and today you will see for yourself.
First, let's take a look at what sounds and transcriptions are in English. Sound, in simple words, Is what we publish when we pronounce this or that letter. Each such sound has its own symbol, which is used in transcription. A transcription is one or more sound symbols, delimited by square brackets, which can convey a letter or a whole word. If theoretical explanations gave you absolutely nothing, let's analyze both concepts with an example for clarity:
| Letter | Transcription | Sound |
| a |
Let's say we took the letter "a". Unlike Russian, this letter is pronounced "hey" in English. In order to express the sound in writing, we have selected suitable symbols that can convey this sound, that is, "ei". And since the sounds in writing are used only in transcription, we added square brackets around this sound. That's all, hopefully the difference between the two has become clear.
Typically, teaching sounds begins with the English alphabet. You may have gone through this topic once, humming a melody with the pronunciation of all letters with your teacher, if you, of course, did not run away from class. In any case, it will definitely not hurt to repeat this material again. So, each letter, and there are 26 of them in the English alphabet, has its own standard sound:
|
Letter order |
Letter |
Transcription |
Pronunciation |
Sound |
| 1. | A a | Hey | ||
| 2. | B b | bi | ||
| 3. | C c | si | ||
| 4. | D d | di | ||
| 5. | E e | and | ||
| 6. | F f | ef | ||
| 7. | G g | ji | ||
| 8. | H h | heych | ||
| 9. | I i | ah | ||
| 10. | J j | jay | ||
| 11. | K k | kei | ||
| 12. | L l | |||
| 13. | M m | Em | ||
| 14. | N n | [ɛn] | en | |
| 15. | O o | [əʊ] | OU | |
| 16. | P p | pi | ||
| 17. | Q q | q | ||
| 18. | R r | [ɑː] | a | |
| 19. | S s | es | ||
| 20. | T t | ti | ||
| 21. | U u | NS | ||
| 22. | V v | in and | ||
| 23. | W w | [‘Dʌbljuː] | double u | |
| 24. | X x | the ex | ||
| 25. | Y y | wye | ||
| 26. | Z z | zed |
However, this list is far from complete. The fact is that in certain combinations the letters or their combinations can sound differently. Therefore, the alphabetical pronunciation of a letter often does not coincide with its pronunciation in a word. In total, there are 48 basic sounds, let's consider them in more detail.
Pronunciation of English words: consonants
List
There are only 24 consonants. You are already familiar with most of them, but you may meet some for the first time. Let's study the entire list of consonants with examples of words in which they are used:
| Sound |
In writing, usually expressed in letter (s) |
Examples of | Sounding words and sounds |
| [b] | b | ball | |
| [d] | d | day | |
| [dʒ] | j / g | jazz (jazz) / gym ( Gym) |
|
| [f] | f | film | |
| [g] | g | gold (gold) | |
| [h] | h | house | |
| [j] | y | yolk (yolk) | |
| [k] | k / c / ch | karma (karma) / car (car) / |
|
| [l] | l / ll | lion (lion) / sell (sell) |
|
| [m] | m | man (person) | |
| [n] | n | nose | |
| [p] | p | picnic (picnic) | |
| [r] | r | romance | |
| [s] | s | smell | |
| [t] | t | toaster | |
| [v] | v | vine (wine) | |
| [w] | w / wh | wax / | |
| [z] | z / zz / se | zoo / buzz / |
|
| [ ŋ ] | ng | wrong | |
| [tʃ] | ch | chew (to chew) | |
| [ ʃ ] | sh | shop | |
| [ ʒ ] | sure / sia | leisure (free time) / Asia (Asia) | |
| [ ð ] | th | their | |
| [ θ ] | th | thought |
Classification
All these consonants can be divided into groups. So, for example, consonants are shared by:
- By voicing / deafness:
- Voiced consonants include:
- By the way of pronunciation:
- Explosive (occlusive) consonants or consonants, the pronunciation of which creates some kind of "explosion". As a rule, for the pronunciation of such letters, the organs of speech first close, not allowing air to pass, and then abruptly open, creating such an unusual sound. Since such letters are also present in Russian, let's draw an analogy to make it clearer:
- Nasal sounds are sounds that are made because air passes through the nose. If you hold your nose and try to pronounce them, it will be extremely difficult to do this:
And also sounds:
Based on which organs of speech are closed, sounds can be divided into:
- Lipo-labial sounds - sounds for the pronunciation of which both lips touch:
- Interdental consonants are sounds for which the tongue must be placed between the upper and lower teeth. Since, unlike other sounds that have at least some similar Russian analogs, interdental sounds are not found in Russian, they often cause difficulties for students. However, if you accept the correct position mentioned above, you will succeed. These sounds include:
- Alveolar consonants are consonants that are pronounced by raising the tip of the tongue to the alveoli:
| [d] |
| [l] |
| [s] |
| [t] |
| [z] |
Pronunciation of English words: vowel sounds
List
talk (to talk) /
pearl (pearl)
cure (healing)
Classification
According to their pronunciation, vowels can be divided into:
- Front and back vowels:
The sounds of the front row are pronounced by raising the back of the tongue to the hard palate and placing its tip near the base of the lower row of teeth:
- Based on the location of the lips, they also distinguish between rounded and uncorrupted, where:
Rugged are sounds for the pronunciation of which the lips are pushed forward:
- In addition, vowel sounds can be divided by intensity, that is, on how much the speech organs are strained to pronounce the sound. Here everything is learned by comparison. For example, to pronounce some sounds:
Therefore, it turns out that the former are non-tense, and the latter are tense.
- The examples above also show that vowels can be short or long. To make the sound long, a colon is usually added next to it.
- Depending on articulation, vowel sounds are also divided into:
- Monophthongs, the pronunciation of which does not change articulation:
- Diphthongs are two sounds that are used together:
Reading rules: open and closed syllables
Despite the fact that there are only 6 vowels in English, the variety of sounds is simply huge. To understand when a letter is pronounced this way and not otherwise, you can often use syllables. For example:
If the syllable is open, then the letter "a" is pronounced as, if the syllable is closed, then the sound turns into [æ]. Compare:
Consider the pronunciation of English vowels using the table:
Pronunciation of English words: stress
Particular attention should be paid to stress. In English transcription, it is usually expressed with an apostrophe, helping:
- Determine a compound word from a combination of words:
- Distinguish one part of speech from another:
Note that the apostrophe indicating stress appears before the stressed syllable, and not above the stressed letter, as is the case in Russian. Any vowel can be stressed anywhere:
| art [ˈɑːt] - art | |
| potato - potato | |
| reconstruct - to reconstruct |
Perhaps it is not placed only on a vowel in an open syllable at the end of a word.
The main feature of the stress of English words is that there can be two of them at once. This option is found in words that consist of four or more syllables. The two accents look different in this case. The basic and familiar to us are highlighted as before with an apostrophe. But the secondary - with an apostrophe from below. Let's take a look at some examples:
Sometimes there may be three stresses at all. In these cases, the two secondary accents are distinguished in the same way:
| microcinematography [ˌmaɪkrəʊˌsɪnəməˈtɒɡrəfi] - microcinematography |
In writing, stress is usually not highlighted, so all these nuances are useful to you only for the correct reading of words.
Pronunciation of English words: pronunciation difference
As you know, English is spoken by a huge number of people from all over the world. However, dividing the English language depending on the location of the speakers, British and American English are most often distinguished. So, for example, above we parsed British English. No, this does not mean that you will have to memorize a whole series of new sounds if you decide to devote time to American English. It's just that the pronunciation of some English words among Americans is strikingly different, and therefore their version of English sounds more harsh. Let's break down the main differences in the pronunciation of these two accents:
- The first thing to notice right away is the [r] sound. If it is at the beginning or in the middle of a word, it is pronounced the same:
That is, this sound is clearly and clearly audible. However, if it is at the end, then English pronunciation the words change a little. In British English, the [r] at the end is generally unreadable. This sound is audible only if it is followed by a word that begins with a vowel for ease of pronunciation. In American English, the letter [r] is always pronounced:
|
Word |
British English |
American English |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| sailor - sailor | [ˈSeɪlə (r)] | [ˈSeɪlər] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| elevator - elevator | [ˈElɪveɪtə (r)] | [ˈElɪveɪtər] |
These are just some of the few features. In fact, there are a lot of such nuances. This does not mean that if you choose, for example, British English, you will not be understood in America. No, the language is one, it just sounds a little different in different places. Which accent is better is a purely personal choice. The correct pronunciation is present in both accents, they just differ. It all depends on your further goals. Accordingly, if you are going to the UK or are planning to take IELTS, British English is for you. If you are focused on America, American. Arguing which accent is the best is a waste of time. It all depends solely on your own preferences, so choose the option that you like. Of course, you can learn two variants of pronunciation at once, but in order to gain an accent, you need constant practice, and with such transitions from one accent to another, it will be quite difficult to do this. At times, setting an accent can be harder than you first thought. Therefore, there are even specialists who do not teach you the English language itself in courses, but put it exactly the correct pronunciation of English words. Of course, learning on your own will be a little more difficult, but such an alternative is quite possible. Indeed, in addition to teachers, there are a huge number of textbooks in which the pronunciation of the English word is considered. And, of course, films. This is a great option for both beginners and intermediate learners. Watch, imitate, repeat and you will succeed. Most importantly, don't be afraid to talk. You can make at least 50 mistakes in pronunciation, but they will understand you and correct you, which means that the next time you will not make these mistakes. Pronunciation of English words: how to learn English transcriptionEnglish transcriptions can be confusing and confusing. However, they contain reading rules. And the reading rules help you remember how to pronounce English words, so you must be able to read them. But this does not mean at all that you need to sit with a piece of English text trying to make a transcription from each word. It is much easier and more efficient to listen to how words are pronounced and compare them with the transcription. Now on the Internet you can find a lot of dictionaries that show not only how a phrase is written, but also how English words with transcription and pronunciation are read. Moreover, the transcription of English words is given in two versions: in British and in American. By listening to voice recordings of words spoken by native speakers, it will be easier for you to understand how to pronounce the word correctly. You can also find out the pronunciation in the translator, but do not forget that he can make mistakes, since, unlike dictionaries, the word in this case is not read by the native speaker, but by the robot. Accordingly, no one checks the correctness of the pronunciation. In any case, try to constantly practice this skill, and in the future it will not be difficult for you to read any, even the most difficult words. Pronunciation of English words: examples of wordsOf course, we will not study a number of sentences, however, you can make out some English words that are quite often found in speech and the reading rules of which must be known. We have already considered a couple of words, for example, their or see pronunciation, but repetition never hurts:
We hope that now you can easily "translate" the transcription and read it. Even if it’s not easy at first, the main thing is to practice. We learn everything consistently and efficiently, and most importantly, constantly. This careful approach to language learning is bound to lead you to success. |
If your own knowledge of a foreign language is shallow or there is a need to translate specific words, terms and texts, then you cannot do without a translator. Processing large volumes of text is rarely required. Usually only a few paragraphs or even sentences need to be translated. Purchasing and installing special software in this case will not be an appropriate step.
Better to take advantage of the Google translator with online pronunciation. The speed, availability and efficiency of this system have already been proven by many of its users around the world. What are the benefits of Google Translate?
Based on all the documents processed, Google is constantly improving the quality of the translation itself. Analysis of various word forms and variants of their use allows the program to produce the most accurate results. The developers of the service have provided for the possibility of feedback - each translation made can be evaluated by the user and thereby subsequently improved. There are also other translation services, for example,.

The meaning of words and their use

In this case, the most common option and the most rare value... Plus, Google can show you where and how a particular phrase is used and what its true meaning is. Specifying the source where the translation came from adds additional reliability and user confidence to the online service.
For people familiar with foreign language and those who are versed in pronunciation, an ordinary paper dictionary is enough to translate unfamiliar words and phrases. However, those who have just started learning a language need help reading and understanding someone else's speech. In such cases, services that not only translate, but also speak words become indispensable. In this article, I will explain which online word pronunciation translators you should use.
Online translator from Google is the most famous service that is used for ease of use and fairly rich functionality (https://translate.google.com/?hl=ru). Unlike most translators with pronunciation, Google Translate is capable of speaking not only single words, but also phrases, and even entire texts.
The service has the following advantages:
It's easy to work with the service- you need to enter the text in the left window and select the language, after which the site will automatically translate. You can sound both the translated fragment and the original - for this you need to click on the horn icon.
The translator is here combined with the linguistic corpus - the base of texts on different languages, in which the translated fragment is searched, after which the service shows examples of its use. This helps not only to know the meaning of the word, but also to really understand it.
Almost a complete analogue of Google Translate is a domestic service - Yandex.Translate. You can translate text online with pronunciation in the same way.
Cambridge Dictionary - Online version of the highest quality British dictionary
Cambridge Dictionary is a translator from the well-known University of Cambridge. He specializes in translation from English and vice versa, but there are other languages as well. The translator has been supplemented with a dictionary compiled by the most professional British linguists.
- To use the service with voice pronunciation, follow the link http://dictionary.cambridge.org/ru/translate/ and enter the text in the window on the left.
- Immediately noticeable drawback in comparison with the Google translator - restrictions on the volume of translation (160 characters at a time, 2000 characters per day).
In addition, the translated phrase cannot be read out immediately. However, the service will give you a word-by-word translation, from which you can go to dictionary entries with pronunciation. They provide not only translation, but also transcription, interpretation and examples of use. Speaks words with British or American pronunciation of your choice.
A similar service is the Oxford Dictionary- https://en.oxforddictionaries.com. It does not have a Russian version and only provides a word-by-word translation from English with pronunciation, but its accuracy is the best. Its quality is evidenced by the fact that in linguistic universities, future translators are recommended to use the Oxford dictionary.
ABBYY Lingvo - translator with text pronunciation with the most detailed dictionary
Lingvo Online from ABBYY is an online version of one of the oldest Russian computer translators, the first version of which was released in 1990. Like other services, in addition to translation, it presents interpretations of words and examples of their use. Available in 20 languages.

- A word or phrase is entered into the search bar.
- The language of the original and the translation is selected.
- The button "Translate" is pressed.
- The service issues a word-by-word translation.
The pronunciation of individual English words can be reproduced in both British and American versions. With other languages, the situation is worse - for example, French words are not spoken, and for some of them there is no translation at all. But the set of examples of use is rich in all cases.
In addition to examples, you can go to the "Phrases" tab. It will help you deepen your knowledge of the language - it shows in which established phrases the search word is used. Here you can find phrasal verbs, idioms, etc. with translation.
Conclusion
There are other services for translating text online with speech pronunciation, but the ones described above are of the highest quality. They have different purposes - if you need to get the maximum amount of information about a particular word, you should use a professional translator. For fast translation of large text, Google Translate is better. The latter is also ideal when translating from languages that are rarely used in other dictionaries.
