USUAL PRONUCIATION. PRONUNCIACIÓ HABITUAL. 

English has no rules for spelling or pronunciation, but there are some strong tendencies that may help us guess what the most probable pronunciation of a word is. I will tell you here the most important ones, but don't forget that you will find many exceptions to these rules. 
 L'anglès no té regles per a deletrejar o pronunciaar, però hi ha tendències generals que ens poden ajudar a endevinar quina és la pronunciació més probable d'una paraula. Vos deix aquí les més importants, però no oblideu que trobareu moltes excepcions a aquestes regles.

This may be useful for consultation but, please, don't try to memorize it, it would be useless since there are so many exceptions. To pronounce English correctly you have to find out the pronunciation of every single new word when you learn it. 
Pot ser útil per a consula però, per favor, no tracteu de memoritzar-ho, seria innecessari donat l'elevat nombre d'excepcions. Per a pronunciar l'anglès correctament heu de cercar la pronunciació de cada nova paraula quan l'apreneu.
