In this American English Pronunciation video, we’re going to go over why we need the IPA.

基礎被動語態

This video was created for a course on IPA that is part of the Rachel’s English Academy,

Rachel's English Academy is a collection of courses I've created

Courses on everything you need to know about pronunciation,

listening comprehension, conversation courses, phrasal verbs, and so on.

You can join the Rachel's English Academy here for a small monthly fee.

Once you join, you're locked in to that price for life even if the price goes up.

The International Phonetic Alphabet was created by the International Phonetic Association

as a standardized way to write the sounds of spoken language.

Because English is not a phonetic language

— that means there’s not a 1:1 relationship between letters and sounds.

They look the same except for the first letter.

They look like they should be pronounced the same except for the first sound.

‘Love’ has the UH as in BUTTER vowel.

There are no rules to tell you which word should be pronounced which way,

You just have to learn the pronunciation when you learn the word.

Let's go a little further.  What about this word?

It looks like the other three words, and its pronunciation is ‘dove’, just like ‘love’.

Wait, no.  Its pronunciation is ‘dove’, just like ‘cove’.

For the noun, the bird, it’s ‘dove’.  UH.

But for the verb, past tense of ‘dive’, it’s pronounced ‘dove’.

So again, we need IPA to write these different sounds

so we can see that words are spelled the same, may still be pronounced differently.

Words that are spelled differently, but pronounced the same.

Just one pronunciation for these two words:  pear, pair.

There are lots of homophones in American English.

So we need the IPA to see, oh, they’re spelled differently, but they’re pronounced the same.

When you write a sound, in IPA, with a symbol instead of a letter, there’s no confusion.

You’re going to see a lot of IPA in the Rachel’s English Academy,

so this course is to help you get used to these symbols,
