There are 44 sounds in English but there aren't 44 letters in the
English alphabet. English has only 26 letters in the alphabet. So there
is a big problem here!
There's only one way to say the letter 'p', but there isn't only one
way to say the letter 'a'. In fact, there are six ways to say the letter
'a'. In the words: apple, army, able, about, all, any - we say the 'a'
