【Phonetics】Explaining IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) with Concrete Examples | Spice of English Grammar

  • I see.

@blu3mo: Actually, I want to learn [Phonetics], I think there is a summary of universal pronunciation that is not dependent on a specific Language, and I want to learn it.

@blu3mo: Surely, “If you learn IPA, you can easily master listening and pronunciation in any language” is not the case, right? Even if that’s not the case, I’m curious about the potential bottlenecks. @blu3mo: “Even if you learn the conversion between sound and IPA, if you can’t convert IPA to written characters in each language, you won’t be able to listen or pronounce correctly.”

  • This seems to be the most difficult part after all.

Still, it seems useful if the listening/pronunciation task can be replaced with a text processing task.

  • It would be easier to learn if you can understand pronunciation by looking at IPA (blu3mo).

@blu3mo: Also, can intonation and rhythm be expressed in IPA?

  • Can intonation be expressed in IPA?

    • However, if you can’t understand intonation by reading the characters, then learning the conversion from characters to IPA is necessary regardless.
  • It seems challenging to learn the parts that are not standardized.
