Как выучить английский алфавит

Как говорит Наташа в своем новом видео, чтобы прочитать полное собрание сочинений Уильяма нашего дорогого Шекспира, надо сначала выучить алфавит языка, на котором творил великий английский поэт и драматург!

Этим мы сегодня и займемся. На выбор предлагаются два варианта: один вариант – детский, второй вариант тоже детский, но для тех, кто случайно начал говорить по-английски, а этап с алфавитом пропустил.

Смотрите и слушайте внимательнее: алфавит – это фундамент любого языка. Надо выучить его назубок! И тогда проблемы с изучением английского языка сведутся к минимуму.

 

Как обычно, мы добавили к видео субтитры, которые вы можете активировать или убрать, нажав специальный значок внизу справа. Для тех, кто предпочитает смотреть видео без субтитров, размещаем полный текст того, что говорит Наташа, ниже.

 

Hello friends! Natasha is here again!

Before we can read the complete plays of Shakespeare, as children, we first had to learn the alphabet.

The easiest way to remember all the letters, as the teacher told us in primary school, was to sing the alphabet.

Did you ever hear the famous song called ‘Baa, Baa, Black Sheep’?

This is how it sounds:

a-b-c-d-e-f-g,

h-i-j-k-l-m-n-o-p,

q-r-s-t-u-v,

w-x-y and z.

Now I know my A,B,Cs,

Next time won’t you sing with me?

Because the letters l-m-n-o-p have to be sang twice as fast as the rest of the letters in the rhyme, some children have mistakenly assumed that ‘elemenopee’ is a word.

There is another ABC’s memory rhyme, which is very old; it was a popular way of teaching the alphabet to youngsters in the nineteenth century. It is called ‘The Tragical Death of A, Apple Pie, Who Was Cut in Pieces, and Eaten By Twenty-Six Gentlemen, With Whom All Little People Ought to be Very Well Acquainted’.

Shall I read it to you?

A was an apple pie,

B bit it,

C cut it,

D dealt it,

E eats it,

F fought for it,

G got it,

H had it,

I inspected it,

J jumped for it,

K kept it,

L longed for it,

M mourned for it,

N nodded for it,

O opened it,

P peeped in it,

Q quartered it,

R ran for it,

S stole it,

T took it,

U upset it,

V viewed it,

W wanted it,

X, Y and Z all wished for

And had a piece in hand.

Can you imagine what happened to the Apple Pie?

Don’t you think it was an entertaining way to remember the alphabet?

I hope after today’s video, there shouldn’t be any problems for you to carry on learning English!

Goodbye for now. See you!
