Phonetics: Intro to linguistics [Video 2]

This video is an online linguistics course designed for the benefit of those who don't have the time or money to attend an actual introduction to Linguistics class at the university. So what is Phonetics?
Phonetics is the scientific study of speech sounds.
In this video, I will show you a scientific of understanding every type of speech sound that you might encounter in your target language.

I learned so much more in these videos than the whole semester at university. Thanks

Plz if you understand the whole meaning of phonetics in introduction to linguistics ,can u explain some notes. Thanks in advance

I've literally had so many "Ohhhhhhhh so that's what that is" moments right now - thank you! I've been studying with a text book and this is making things fall into place

Linguistics Major from Jamaica. I truly appreciate all your videos! I hope you continue :)

[@zineguers5279]

Studying this in ALGERIA, the way you explain it is straightforwards, simple and easy, Thank you!

[@cristianstrahorn3716]

Another great video! It's interesting to note the difference in phonetic transcription and pronunciation between American English and other world Englishes. I'm Australian for example, so when I paused the video at the last example of the three sentences written phonetically to test myself before you read them I had to put on my "American cap" to read them correctly. For us, words like FART, YOUR, DIRECTION and HOVERCRAFT are transcribed respectively as fɑːt, jɔː, dɪˈrɛkʃən and ˈhɒvəkrɑːft.

thank you so much

[@diannemendes2062]

I'm seriously thinking of doing linguistics and I've really enjoyed watching your videos. I'm a total beginner at this but I'm loving everything so far. That being said, I hope you can help me answer this question. Looking at the IPA symbols, I am a bit confused for some of them. For e.g. the symbol you have represented for no (oʊ), I see it written as əʊ on other websites. Similarly, the symbol ɛ as in head, is seen as 'e' on other charts. Why is it different like this, if it's an international chart? Hope you can answer my question and thanks for these videos!

[@jcespinoza]

I've had this question for a long time too. What did you find?
It feels as if authors come up with their own symbols for sounds depending on the language they speak.

[@nickhight]

The symbols have 1:1 correspondences to speech sounds. Because people with different accents can pronounce "o" slightly differently, we use a different symbol to reflect the difference in pronunciation. What you came across looks like it's reflecting the difference between the RP (British) way of saying "no" and the American way.

[@potatoguy5307]

the suggestion is to add lexicology as a huge part of linguistics here

[@georgeinjapan6583]

Tgey used to have a single letter express for each of the two interdental fricative sounds in English.

[@engimaticcontent6396]

Please make a video on syllables

[@rain-wj6vv]

is R really an alveolar sound? My tongue doesn't touch the ridge behind my upper front teeth. My tongue actually scrunches to the back of my mouth, and I am pretty sure I pronounce my R sounds right lol. Just had to ask because I am confused now and very curious! Please let me know your thoughts!!!!!

[@thatowanyane5840]

I have taken so much resourceful information from this video. However, what I am struggling with right now is that, how does one learn the international phonetic alphabet? It is seems way too complex.

[@maybereal]

You're a life saver. Thank you :_(

[@nessmercieca9966]

Is the chart based on American pronunciations? I’m Australian and pronounce words like ‘hot’ and ‘caught’ with totally different vowels

[@kekalekic2689]

What about H? Isn't it also velar? It is clasified as velar in some literature. Pronounce a word ,,huge" as an example.
