If you are used to speaking only in note names (e.g. the first 7 letters of the alphabet), you may need to study the relation between frequency and [[Wikipedia: Pitch (music)|pitch]]. Kyle Gann's ''[http://www.kylegann.com/tuning.html Just Intonation Explained]'' is one good reference. A transparent illustration and one of just intonation's acoustic bases is the [[~~OverToneSeries|~~harmonic series]].

In languages other than English, the original conceptions of "just intonation" are more obviously retained in the terms used in those languages: German ''Reine Stimmung'' (pure, that is, beatless, tuning), Ukrainian ''Натуральний стрій'' and French ''gamme naturelle'' (both referring to the "natural scale", that is, intervals derived from the harmonic series), Italian ''intonazione naturale'' (natural intonation, once again intervals derived from harmonic series), and so on.
