Thank you. I'm a native English speaker. This is strengthening me for my upcoming confrontation with the French vowel sounds

This was such a helpful video! I have always struggled with Phonetics, but this has been so informative, and easy to follow. I definitely don't think it is for everyone - like you said - but this information has assisted me in finishing my assignment! FANTASTIC video all 'round :)

Hi..

[@bea8140]

I hope it will help me finish mine.Im studying Italian in University and IPA is part of my course.It may be helpful to some people , in my case however, it is proving to be an utter waste of time

[@kitfistouk]

A very useful tool for learning IPA that helps a lot with relation to different accents is the word reference both the site and application for free use.

Both is very helpful for English learners, IPA and listening as much as possible. A successful method to improve pronunciation is listening and reading at the same time by using audios with subtitle.

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Thanks for watching and sharing, Hugo!

[@nghuuhieu]

IPA is the main solution to help you improve your speaking skill most efficiently.

[@abu_layla1993]

Thanks for the very useful video. For me, IPA is critical to learn. Because as a non-native speaker to English, it's hard to read English books without learning IPA. Too many new and high level words I encounter every time I read an English book. Thanks ❤🌹

[@hasiWills1021]

IPA should be true English letters

Thats why non natives speak English so wrong. and cant understand what are they pronounce.

Back in 1990’s when I was a pupil in a Russian school we used to divide each page into 3 columns named “word/transcription/translation” & write down the word itself, then it’s symbols & finally the Russian translation. I have never learned any reading rules, coz it was so natural to remember the words by symbols. I’ve never heard the term IPA before this video.

[@housegamer224]

Oh! Thank you very much! I'm South Korean! Now, I like this video and Oxford Online English channel. I did want to find some pronuciation teaching video on English origin. I found it! Thank you soo much. But I am a child of English. hahaha. I didn't understand all contant of this video. But I understand a partial of this video, on 07:15. haha I'll repeat watchin this video and have all understand this video. Have a nice dayyyy! I feel your explanation is kind and detailed.

Thanks, especially useful for me in pronunciation of names and places - for historical studies

[@sabitkakimov2898]

Gina and Daniel, thank you very much for your video. I began learning IPA when I was a beginner of learning English. It helped me to avoid many pronunciation mistakes because I learned by heart English vocabulary by using IPA. So I recommend your video for everybody who makes his/her first steps in learning English. I wish you all the best and good luck in your efforts to help other people to learn English!

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Thank you for the kind comment and helpful suggestions, Sabit! We're glad you enjoyed the lesson.

Hi. I'm Shammi from Sri Lanka. I'm a university student reading for BA in English. This video was luckily found while I was studying IPA for my 1st year-end exam which will be held on coming Sunday. This video was not only interesting but also very helpful for me. Thank you very much. I would be very grateful to you if you can suggest to me how to improve my vocabulary and accent. Are there free online classes for outsiders like me?

I think illustrating or noticing place of the 44 sounds from where they actually start to sound in our voice making organs like throat/chest/tongue/lip/teeth/nose etc & where they end, this graphical presentation of pronouncing sound will be more easier & effective.

[@jacobstc]

It would be helpful pedagogically if polysyllabic words were syllabified. For example, in the lesson, is given the IPA transcription /'tiːtʃə/, which does not tell us that the pronunciation is unique, unless one learns to syllabify it. As a matter of fact, roughly half of British people pronounce /'tiːtʃə/ as ['tiː tʃə] (meaning that one pronounces ['ti:] first, followed by [tʃə]). The other half pronounce /'tiːtʃə/ as ['tiːt° °tʃə] (meaning that the 1st syllable is ['tiːt°], the 2nd syllable is [°tʃə]. The intervocalic /tʃ/ is rendered ambi-syllabic, in that [t° stands for the compression stage in the articulation of the /t/ in the affricate /tʃ/, and °t] the hold and release stage of the /t/ in /tʃ/).
