Alphabet song, also known as English alphabet song or ABC song, is a common song often sung when learning letters in many countries in the world where Latin letters are written. The lyrics are very simple, that is, singing 26 English letters in sequence. It is a classic children's song with a cheerful rhythm and familiar lyrics. Make 26 English letters into a cheerful children's song, which is convenient for children to remember and read.
This song is usually taught to children in kindergarten, and even when children are still at home, parents have begun to teach them to sing this song. The melody of the alphabet song is adapted from the well-known nursery rhyme twinkle twinkle little star.
This song comes from Mozart's Variations on a Little Star, and Mozart was inspired by the French pop song "Mom, please listen to me" ("Ah! Hello, Mom).
The source of confusion in pronunciation and spelling of English letters;
Since Middle English, English vocabulary has expanded rapidly, English pronunciation has also changed, and a large number of foreign words have entered. However, every time English spelling rules are reformed, the result seems to be new irregular spelling, and new technologies such as dictionaries and printing have not solved the problem. Although English has become a global language, English around the world has formed its own spelling rules.
All the existing languages in the world are constantly developing and changing. Over the centuries, the pronunciation of English has changed greatly, and some letters that were originally pronounced in old English and old English periods are no longer pronounced (for example, the letter B was originally pronounced after words such as climb and thumb).
But English spelling is basically the same, which brings some difficulties to the spelling of English words. Word spelling mistakes and letter spelling omissions often occur, for example, most of them are caused by dumb letters.
