The present invention relates to a foreign language learning apparatus, and more particularly, to a foreign language learning apparatus that can greatly improve the learning efficiency of a foreign language by displaying the pronunciation characteristics of a foreign language so as to be visually easily recognized.

The ability to speak foreign languages is indispensable in today's increasingly globalized world, and the craze to learn foreign languages such as English and Chinese is blowing around the world.

In order to meet these phenomena and needs, various foreign language learning apparatuses have been developed. However, foreign language learning apparatuses such as a conventional electronic dictionary merely display the phonetic symbols for foreign language words, and do not properly reflect the pronunciation characteristics of the foreign language. have.

In the case of English, which is most commonly used in international diplomacy, trade, etc., English is an accented language unlike Korean, which is a syllable language. That is, English is a language having short, long and high strengths and weaknesses in pronunciation. In order to properly pronounce such English words or sentences, it is important to recognize and pronounce the pronunciation characteristics peculiar to English.

In spite of the above differences, foreign language learning apparatuses such as electronic dictionaries, except for such phonetic characteristics of English, express English words on a uniform basis, thus making it difficult to obtain accurate pronunciation of English.

In the case of accented-language languages, if you learn to listen to a foreign language or speak conversations without properly recognizing the phonetic characteristics of the foreign language, it is difficult to acquire accurate rhythm, height, and strength of the foreign language. Not only is it difficult to understand, but because it pronounces a foreign language based on Korean, foreigners cannot understand it, which causes problems in communication.

In addition, as described above, when using a conventional foreign language learning apparatus to learn a foreign language of the accent rhythm, effective foreign language learning is difficult, so not only is it difficult to properly acquire the foreign language ability, but also to acquire the foreign language skillfully. It takes time.

The present invention has been made to solve the conventional problems as described above, the object of the present invention is to display the pronunciation information that can easily recognize the phonetic characteristics of the foreign language, when the foreign language learning, And it is to provide a foreign language learning device that can easily recognize and embody the strength and weakness to speak the correct pronunciation.

In addition, the present invention according to another embodiment for achieving the above object is a foreign language learning system that can learn a foreign language using a wired and wireless network, while being connected to the wired and wireless network, foreign language words and the foreign language learning A terminal device to which a command to select or instruct an operation of the system is input; A phonetic symbol database in which phonetic symbols for a plurality of foreign language words are stored; And a pronunciation symbol for a foreign language word is received from the terminal device while being connected to the wired / wireless network, a pronunciation symbol is retrieved from the pronunciation symbol database, and pronunciation information is generated based thereon. And a pronunciation information providing server for transmitting to the display unit of the terminal device, wherein the pronunciation information providing server repeatedly displays and displays a phonetic symbol of the vowel or the alphabet itself based on the phonetic symbol. The height of the pronunciation is represented by differently displaying the phonetic symbols or the heights of the letters that are repeatedly displayed, and the strength or weakness of the pronunciation indicates that the accented portion is displayed by displaying a portion larger than the original size by a predetermined ratio to generate the pronunciation information. It provides an online foreign language learning system characterized by the above.

According to the foreign language learning apparatus according to the present invention, the pronunciation according to the characteristics of the foreign language can be learned accurately and easily.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

1 is a schematic diagram of a foreign language learning apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the foreign language learning apparatus of the present invention includes an input unit 11, a phonetic symbol storage unit 13, a display unit 15, and a controller 17.

In the following embodiments, the foreign language to be studied is taken as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be applied to any accented rhythm language having short, long and high strengths.

The input unit 11 allows a learner to input an English word or a command for selecting or instructing an operation of the foreign language learning apparatus of the present invention. And a plurality of keys for entering commands.

A keypad may be generally used as the input unit, but is not necessarily limited to the keypad. Any input unit may be used as long as it can input an alphabet or a command including a touch screen.

The phonetic symbol storage unit 13 stores phonetic symbol data for a plurality of English words. At this time, the phonetic symbol data stored in the phonetic symbol storage unit 13 is a phonetic symbol commonly used as a phonetic symbol of an English word.

The display unit 15 displays pronunciation information generated by the controller for the word input from the input unit 11. A liquid crystal display device may be used as the display unit. However, the liquid crystal display device is not necessarily limited to the liquid crystal display device and may be used as long as it can display pronunciation information visually.

The controller 17 receives an English word input through the input unit 11, retrieves a phonetic symbol corresponding to the received word from the phonetic symbol storage unit 13, and based on this, pronunciation information about the word. After generating the to send the generated pronunciation information to the display unit 15 to output.

Hereinafter, the method of generating the pronunciation information for the word based on the phonetic symbols by the controller 17 will be described in detail.

To this end, it will be described in more detail with respect to the characteristics of the English pronunciation of the accented language. As described above, English is an accented language, and its pronunciation includes long and short, high and low, and the long and short, high and low are related to the English alphabet's resonance. Here, the resonance refers to the relative loudness when a certain sound is pronounced at the same length, height, and intensity, and the maximum resonance value for each phonetic symbol is as shown in [Example 1] below.

Example 1

As can be seen above, vowels in the alphabet generally have large resonances, which is why the length, height and intensity of the pronunciation in English are largely determined by vowels.

The sound structure of English vowels is different from Korean, and the English single vowels or multiple vowels with continuous vowels have a continuous sound structure consisting of start, high and low vowels. This can be described in the form of a triangle when compared to a figure.

[Example 2] below is a comparison of the sound structure of the English and Korean vowels recognized by the general public on four wires.

Example 2

As can be seen in [Example 2], the Korean 'ah' pronunciation forms a short, monotonous, square-shaped sound structure of one beat, whereas the English vowel corresponding to the Korean 'ah' pronunciation is continuous. It forms a triangular sound structure in the form of three beats of long, high and low triangles. This sound structure does not only correspond to the 'ah' pronunciation, but also applies equally to all vowels in English, ie all vowels in English have a continuous triangular sound structure of start, high and low sounds.

The triangular sound structure in English is based on each syllable in English, and not only short vowels but also multiple vowels form a triangular sound structure. That is, even in the case of multiple vowels, the overall pronunciation structure has a triangular sound structure like a short vowel, and the triangular sound structure of the multiple vowels is shown in [Example 3] below.

Example 3

As can be seen in [Example 3], even in a multiple vowel in which a plurality of vowels exist in one syllable, the entire multiple vowel forms a triangular sound structure. However, the multiple vowels differ in that the lowest note is relatively lower and the length is longer than the short vowel.

In addition, when there is a long vowel display even in the short vowels, as in the multiple vowels, the length becomes longer as the lowest note is relatively lower than in the case of a simple vowel. The triangular sound structure of such a long vowel is as shown in [Example 4] below.

Example 4

 As can be seen from the triangular sound structure of the multiple vowels and the long vowels as described above, in the case of the multiple vowels and the long vowels, there is a difference in that the length and height of the lowest vowel are longer and lower than the short vowels, and the overall sound of the beginning The same is true in that it has a triangular sound structure of the highest and lowest sounds.

On the other hand, the resonance of a single vowel or multiple vowels in each syllable of an English word depends on the accent position of the English word. For example, a vowel in which the first accent is located adds about 10 to the original resonance value of the vowel, and a vowel in which the second accent is located has about 5 to the original resonance value of the vowel. To be added (see [Example 1] above).

The foreign language learning apparatus according to the present invention, for the English word input from the input unit 11, the control unit 17 is based on the pronunciation symbol pronunciation information that can visually recognize the sound structure unique to English as described above It is generated and displayed on the display unit 15.

The method of generating the pronunciation information will be described in detail. The controller 17 retrieves and obtains a pronunciation symbol for an English word input from the input unit 11 from the pronunciation symbol storage unit 13 and based on the found pronunciation symbol. In the case of a short vowel, the phonetic symbol of the short vowel is displayed three times to display the length of the short vowel. However, as described above, the height of the second vowel is determined so that the height of the English pronunciation can be recognized. 1 Pronunciation symbols (starting sound)> 3rd pronunciation symbols (lowest sound)

In addition, if there are multiple vowels and long vowels in the phonetic symbols, the phonetic symbols of the multiple vowels or long vowels are displayed five times, with the first and second phonetic symbols being the same as in the case of short vowels and the third to fifth vowels. The phonetic symbols are sequentially marked so that their height is lowered. That is, the overall height is displayed in the order of the second pronunciation symbol> the first pronunciation symbol> the third pronunciation symbol> the fourth pronunciation symbol> the fifth pronunciation symbol.

Meanwhile, a first accent mark or a second accent mark is added to the phonetic symbols used in English in order to indicate the strength and weakness, and the controller 17 determines whether the accent symbol is present in the phonetic symbols, In the case of accented vowels, the size of the vowels with accent marks is enlarged by 200%, and in the case of the accented marks, the size of the vowels is enlarged by 150% than the original to visually recognize the intensity. do.

Alternatively, the thickness may be displayed by adjusting the thickness according to the strength and weakness instead of the enlargement of the size, and the strength and weakness of the pronunciation may be displayed more clearly by adjusting the thickness together with the enlargement of the size.

In the present embodiment, when the pronunciation information is generated by the controller 17, the pronunciation information is generated by repeatedly displaying the phonetic symbol of the word, but by using and repeatedly displaying the alphabet of the word instead of the phonetic symbol, Pronunciation information may be generated. [Example 5] below shows an example of generating pronunciation information for an English word and an English text using the alphabet itself.

Example 5

As such, when the pronunciation information is displayed using the alphabet of the English word itself, there is an advantage that the English sound structure can be recognized by the English word itself without seeing the pronunciation symbol.

As described above, the foreign language learning apparatus according to the present invention displays the most important vowels for accurate pronunciation of the English words in the form of a triangle consisting of the start sound, the highest sound, and the lowest sound as described above. On the other hand, by increasing the magnitude according to the addition of stress, the learner can visually clearly recognize the length, height, and strength of the pronunciation when learning the word, thereby learning the phonetic language of English, the accented language. Features can be easily recognized and acquired.

Meanwhile, in the above embodiment, although English is used as an example of the accent beat language, it is not necessarily limited thereto, and any accent beat language may be applied when generating the pronunciation information.

Hereinafter, a method of generating pronunciation information for another accented-language Chinese language will be described.

There are four tones in Chinese, each having a different length, height, and strength. Looking at each tone briefly, one voice is pronounced by a slightly higher start tone and slightly lower in the final tone, but the difference between the start tone and the final tone is not so large, and the length of the sound is the second of the four tones.

The 2nd sound starts with a relatively low note and goes up to the highest note. The sound is the second longest of the four tones. Three stars are curved tones, which begin to pronounce a little lower than two stars, slightly lower in the middle, and are pulled up at high speed. The length of sound is the longest of the four tones.

Finally, four stars are pronounced quickly from the highest to the lowest, and the length of the sound is the shortest of the four tones.

The conventional phonetic symbols for the four stars of Chinese are as shown in [Example 6] below.

Example 6

On the other hand, the pronunciation information generated by the foreign language learning apparatus according to the present invention based on the conventional pronunciation symbol of [Example 6] is shown in [Example 7] below.

Example 7

In addition, when comparing and displaying the pronunciation information generated by the foreign language learning apparatus according to the present invention and the conventional pronunciation symbols in the manner described above as follows [Example 8].

Example 8

In Example 8, the upper part is a phonetic symbol commonly used in the past, and the lower part is pronunciation information generated by the foreign language learning apparatus according to the present invention.

As can be seen from the above, the pronunciation information generated and displayed by the foreign language learning apparatus according to the present invention displays the length, height, and strength of the Chinese pronunciation, which is another accented beat language, so that it can be clearly recognized visually, The learner can easily recognize and acquire the phonetic features of Chinese.
