Before starting, let me first explain that the lesson will be divided into two parts:
PART ONE: you will be learning the rule of when to use the article “the” with names of buildings.
PART TWO: you will be listening to a dialogue between two students on campus.

Università - Grammatica

La lezione di oggi ti illustrerà l’uso dell’articolo determinativo the con i nomi di edifici.

Leggi le frasi seguenti. Qual è la differenza tra loro?

1. “Does your sister go to university? ”
   “Yes, she studies Biology”.
2. “Excuse me, how do I get to the university?”
   “You can get a number 45 bus from here”.

Nel secondo esempio, ci riferiamo all’università in quanto luogo fisico specifico, dunque utilizziamo l’articolo determinativo.

La stessa regola si applica a college, prison, hospital e church.

Alison had an accident yesterday. She’s in hospital now.

I went to the hospital this morning to visit her.

Ricorda che se la parola College o University è preceduta da un nome proprio o geografico, l’articolo si omette:

She has applied to study French at London University (The University of London).

Pronuncia - Vocabolario

Scopri la differenza fra fonetica e fonologia, oltre ad alcuni termini utili per capire lo studio della pronuncia dei suoni inglesi.

Phonetic terminology made simple………

Phonetics is the study of physical sounds and the human voice. It is concerned with the properties of speech sounds (phones) and of non-speech sounds and their production and perception.

Phonology, as opposed to phonetics, is the study of sound systems and abstract sound units, such as phonemes.

Phonemes are the smallest unit of sound in a language which can distinguish two words, for example, “can” and “fan”, these words only differ with initial sound /k/ and /f/. But “ban” and “bin” differ only with their vowel sound / ɪ / and / æ /

RP means “Received Pronunciation.” This is a standard “BBC English” pronunciation used, for the sounds of phonetic spellings.

In a bilingual dictionary you can find the standard pronunciation for each word, transcribed following the IPA conventions.

IPA is an acronym meaning International Phonetic Association.
