Silent Vowels
/Ø/ = Silent
Sometimes a vowel has no sound. There are many silent letters in the English language, and they can cause difficulties for people learning English as a second language. Silent letters are the letters in words that make no difference to the sound. So, to put it simply, the letter or letters in a particular word that are silent, do not appear in the pronunciation of the word. But, they do however, appear in the spelling. There are no rules where silent letters are concerned and unfortunately, you will just have to learn to remember them but sometimes, there is an exact reason as to why a word will have silent letters.
