This is why the International Phonetic Alphabet makes it easier to study the pronunciation of foreign languages.

這就是國際音標使人們更容易學習外語發音的原因。

This video focuses on consonants. What is the International Phonetic Alphabet?

本影片主要專注於子音。什麼是國際音標?

ɛ ʌ ɪ ʊ ə ŋ

a æ ɔ ɜ ʃ ʒ

θ ð ɹ tʃ m n l

for example

It’s a system of phonetic notation, and I use it a lot on my website and when I teach students.

這是一個語音符號系統,我在我的網站上使用它很多,當我教學生時。

I’ve also used it a lot when I’ve studied foreign languages.

當我學習外語時,我也經常使用它。

The IPA is especially handy when studying English because English is not a phonetic language.

在學習英語時,IPA特別方便,因為英語不是語音語言。

This means when you see a letter or a group of letters, it will not necessarily be pronounced the same in each word in which it occurs, just as in the example at the beginning of this video.

這意味著當您看到一個字母或一組字母時,它不一定在發生的每個字中發音相同,就像在本影片開頭的例子一樣。

The IPA has a written symbol for each phonetic sound.

IPA有每個語音的書面符號。

So, this makes it easier to read about and write about pronunciation.

因此,這使得閱讀和撰寫發音更容易。

As a student of pronunciation, it’s important that you become familiar with the symbols that represent the sounds of American English.
