Introduction to the IPA Alphabet

In this blog, I will frequently be using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), pictured below.


International Phonetic Alphabet

This is much better than just using the alphabet, because in English, one letter of the alphabet can have more than one sound. Don't be worried about how difficult it looks; its not that complicated, and many of the symbols on that chart are not even used in English! 

I will go through all of the English sounds on the chart one by one. Each symbol will be a single lesson. I will also give lessons on the different sections of the chart, to help students understand it better.

Cheers!
