I have always wanted to learn american sounds but everyone on the ineternet shows only british phonetic alphabeth and says it is american or IPA. Finally someone who shows the difference between those two. 👍
Hi dear Billie, Your videos are both scientific and practical. I have met you here since 2 months ago. I have also used some parts of your accurate knowledge in Phonetics and Phonology in my Webinars. I'm an EFL teacher from Iran 🇮🇷. Most teachers almost never teach phonological features in their presentations since they've not been taught at college in a practical way. Anyway, I expect you to pursue your direction in a pedagogical manner in your future videos. Share "how to teach" all these deciphering tips and tricks. ❤🎉😊 English learners love phonological features. Segmental or Suprasegmental.
Thanks for the nice video. I have a question regarding /e/ in AmE (KK). I've seen somewhere saying that /ei/ in British English (IPA) is /e/ in AmE (KK) while /e/ in IPA is /ɛ/ in KK.
Hello. Great video! By the way, I am a bit confused, maybe you can help me. I seem to remember that my teacher told me that, when transcribing a word like "bed", /e/ had been replaced by /ɛ/ as a writing convention. So we shouldn't use /e/ anymore. But I heard another explanation, namely it was a regional thing (British use /e/ and Americans use /ɛ/. I heard yet another explanation saying /ɛ/ and /e/ are two different phonemes which transcribe different sounds (though they could not give me proper examples). What are your thoughts on the subject?
Dear Billie, thanks for your video. However, I failed to understand why there were still American phonetic symbols those are similar to British ones in all English dictionary (Longman, Cambridge, Oxford, Collins...), eg. for word likes horn, born, torm: /hɔːn $ hɔːrn/; UK /hɔːn/ US /hɔːrn/ ? Thanks you!
The phonetic symbols aren't American or British etc. They are all taken from the IPA (= the international phonetic alphabet). It's just that there are some variations in what symbols are used, e.g. for the sound /e/ as in 'bed'. Additionally, American English has some slightly different vowel sounds and thus uses slightly different symbols to differentiate them from the British vowels.
American teachers don't use IPA to teach。 They even don't know IPA at all。 They use different letter groups created by themselves to present sounds. The letter groups usually include a letter which often pronounces the sound， and another letter meaning the letter group is phonetic. They try hard to avoid the hard work of their students learning IPA. IPA is too simple to present actual American sounds, even if dictionaries still inappropriately use IPA to represent American language pronunciation. American language abandoned IPA. American teachers try hard to use word pronunciation to help their students to remember word writing. But there is still not a successful method accepted by all American teachers.
Hello! I'm not sure this is correct information. It is true that primary teachers (in the US and the UK) do not use IPA when teaching phonics to children. However, ESL teachers in both countries usually use symbols from the phonetic alphabet when teaching pronunciation to their students. That is also why there are two charts as explained in the video :-)
@BillieEnglish So， nobody develops the IPA to fit English in reality， especially the English of the U.S. The students who speak according to IPA can't know what the American natives speaking.

Thanks you I tryed to find this for a long time stressing over it lol
Thanks for the nice video. I have a question regarding /e/ in AmE (KK). I've seen somewhere saying that /ei/ in British English (IPA) is /e/ in AmE (KK) while /e/ in IPA is /ɛ/ in KK.
I made a separate video to clear up the confusion!

Hi Billie, Why is there no symbol /i/ in British English? but it is used in the words ending in "y"
It's actually the long i sound /i:/
Thanks!!!!
❤Thanks a lot!

Waiting for this video
There's a difference?😮
Is billie sound american or british.
I hate teaching this part to foreigners. I got questions like " Grey and Gray, which color is darker.?..."
Teacher Billie I'm new here, I'd like to know if you're American❤?
Don't get fooled by the 11 Monophthongs in American English... There are actually 13!!!
Hi! What are the 2 missing phonemes ?
