N.B.: Compare the phonetics charts below before you begin. phonetics classnotes 1 The International Phonetic Alphabet phonetics classnotes 2 Phonetic transcription phonetics classnotes 3 Long vowels phonetics classnotes 4 Short vowels and the schwa sound phonetics classnotes 5 Long /i;/ and short /I/ phonetics classnotes 6 TH: voiceless /T/ and voiced /D/ /V/ bus /bVs/ /E/ ten /tEn/ /I/ six /sIks/ /Q/ dog /dQg/ /U/ book /bUk/ If the two phonetic charts above do not look exactly the same, that means you cannot see the phonetic symbols correctly. In that case, download and copy to C:\Windows\Fonts this phonetics font: tnrphon.ttf. If the examples look very different (especially for Linux users), you may want to download another font, too: FRSCRIPT.TTF (to install a font in Linux, double-click on it and select the INSTALL button). If you still can't see the fonts correctly and you are using Firefox, try deactivating the protection option that prevents hostile websites from fingerprinting your computer by checking to see which fonts you have installed: 1. Go to about:config 2. Change the settings of privacy.fingerprintingProtection.overrides to -FontVisibilityBaseSystem,-FontVisibilityLangPack Optimised for 1280x800
