This paper aims to provide some essential and substantial notions about phonological segments and systems or patterns of phonology of human languages with respect to acquisition of foreign language pronunciation. Learning pronunciation of a language differs from learning grammar or vocabulary of a language in many aspects, one of which is that the former, unlike the latter, not only requires cognitive aspects but also requires ergonomic aspects for the correct pronunciation. In relation with this, We show that how phonemes of the first language is different from those of second/foreign languages in terms of neuroscience. In addition, we urge that contrastive knowledge of phonemic and phonetic representations about native language and target language is required; further the notion of universal phonological systems of human language is discussed.
