Pronunciation questions

[Andreana]

Hello again,

Could you please tell me what is correct:

- a 'MMV' model or
- an 'MMV' model?

Also, why is 'Themes' pronounced as 'temes' and not 'themes'?

Hi,

The correct one is AN MMV model because you make a vowel sound when you pronounce the letter 'm'.

Hi Andreana,

Even if the letter 'M' is not a vowel the words starting with 'M' preceeds 'an'. Because when we pronounce the letter 'M' the 'a' sounds preceeds and 'a' intirn is a vowel.

Thankyou.
