[Vocabulary] Aloud & Loud & Loudly

[gaolei]

Examples:
What about reading aloud to practice pronunciation?

How do you improve your pronunciation?
By listening to a tape and repeating out loud.

Then, I look up ‘aloud’ in dictionary.
There are two kinds of explanation:
1.using the voice; not silently
2.with relatively high volume

I think the meaning of ‘aloud’ in above example should be the first explanation. Right?

‘Loud’ here is an adverb and means reading with highvolume. Right?

Can ‘aloud’ replace with ‘loud’ when express high volume?
What’s the difference between ‘loudly’ and ‘loud’ (loud used as an adverb)?
Can I say?
By listening to a tape and repeating out loud.
By listening to a tape and repeating out loudly.
By listening to a tape and repeating out aloud.

Aloud and out loud mean exactly the same thing. Neither means the adjective loud or the adverb loudly.

You can read a book aloud. If you have a strong voice, you can read it aloud loudly.

A stereo can be loud, but it can never be aloud. And in some places, loud stereos aren't allowed.
