This book lists 16,647 core English words that are divided into 25 vowel categories containing stressed syllables and listed alphabetically within each category. Also the words are divided into three different levels of ESL (English as a Second Language) so that learners can practice pronunciation according to their levels. Level 1 (for elementary & middle school) is written in red, level 2 (for high school) is written in blue, and level 3 (for university and above) is written in black.
[Sample] : belief [bili:f] [名] 信念, 信仰
believable [bili:vəbl] [形] 信じられる
believe [bili:v] [動] 信じる
This book is ideal for Japanese who want to learn English as a second language and want to communicate more effectively in English. It’s also essential for those who prepare for SAT, TOEFL, TOEIC and other examinations.
A syllable is part of a word that contains one vowel sound. In every word of two or more syllables, one syllable is stressed. It’s called ‘stressed syllable’. The vowel sound in that syllable is louder, higher in pitch, and longer than the other vowel sounds in the same word. In this book, stressed syllable is written in larger boldface. (Example: adhesion [ədhi:ʒən] [名] 付着) Unstressed syllables are often pronounced with the schwa vowel sound (ə). All one syllable words have primary stress when spoken separately. (Examples: big, day)
The contrast between stressed and unstressed syllables is very important because it helps to create the rhythm of English. The native English speakers rely more on stressed syllable to understand what you say than on the individual sounds of the word.
