    Step 2:
    Answer the following questions based on the first documents:
     What is phonology?
    Phonology is the study of the sound patterns and systems in language. It
    focuses on the organization and arrangement of sounds, known as
    phonemes, within a particular language or languages. Phonology examines
    how these sounds function and interact with each other to convey meaning,
    including rules and patterns of pronunciation, stress, intonation, and
    phonological processes.

     What is phonetics?
    Phonetics is the study of the physical properties and production of speech
    sounds. It analyzes the sounds themselves, known as phonetics, in terms of
    their articulation, acoustic properties, and auditory perception. Phonetics
    examines how sounds are made, transmitted, and received, including the
    specific movements of the speech organs, the resulting acoustic waveforms,
    and the perception and classification of sounds by listeners.

     What is the difference between phonetics and phonology?


    The main difference between phonetics and phonology lies in their focus and
    scope. Phonetics deals with the physical properties and production of speech
    sounds, whereas phonology focuses on the patterns and systems of sounds
    within a particular language or language. Phonetics studies the sounds, while
    phonology examines how they function and interact within a linguistic
    system.

     What is the IPA alphabet? What are the manner and place of
    articulation?
    The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is a standardized system of
    symbols used to represent the sounds of human language. It provides a way
    to transcribe and notate the sounds of different languages consistently and
    accurately. The IPA alphabet includes symbols for consonants, vowels,
    suprasegmental features (such as stress and intonation), and diacritics to
    represent specific modifications or variations of sounds.

    2
     Give two examples of each one.
    Examples of different manners of articulation include:
    Stop/Plosive: The airflow is completely blocked and then released, creating a
    sudden burst of sound. Examples: /p/ as in "pen," /b/ as in "bat."

    Fricative: The airflow is partially obstructed, creating a turbulent noise.


    Examples: /f/ as in "fan," /s/ as in "sun."

    Examples of different places of articulation include:


    Bilabial: The two lips come together to obstruct the airflow. Examples: /p/ as
    in "pen," /b/ as in "bat."

    Alveolar: The tip or blade of the tongue comes into contact with the alveolar
    ridge behind the upper front teeth. Examples: /t/ as in "top," /d/ as in "dog."

    Step 3:
    In this step you have to record yourself making a mini-lesson, here you have
    to explain some English sounds to your classmates based on the following
