★★ WHAT THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT★★
In this video we are going to look at the IPA - the international phonetic alphabet. Yes, that’s right: the alphabet with many funny symbols, each representing a sound.
/heləʊ ɑ: jə redi tə lʊkæt ðə ɑɪ pi: eɪ/
…. This was IPA ‘Hello, are you ready to look at the IPA?’

You are going to learn about the history of the IPA, the parts that make up the IPA - the 107 letters for sounds (consonants, vowels and diphthongs), 31 diacritics to show phonetic detail and 17 suprasegmentals (e.g. : - to show vowel length). You will learn what the IPA is used for and in which professions people use it. At the end we are also going to talk about the SAMPA and we will look at phonemic transcriptions of SAMPA and IPA side by side. Please note that this video gives you a general overview of the IPA, not just the phonemic chart for English.

If you want to learn the IPA in detail to transcribe in English, check out my other videos on consonant sounds in IPA, vowel sounds in IPA and diphthongs in the playlists below - all for British English.
