the international phonetic alphabet also known as I. P. A. And as his name says,
- 00:09 - 00:13
It's an alphabet that was developed back in the 19th century
- 00:14 - 00:17
to accurately represent the pronunciation of languages,
- 00:18 - 00:21
the main purpose of this alphabet is to provide
- 00:21 - 00:25
a unique symbol for each distinctive sound in a language
- 00:26 - 00:28
that is every sound orphan name
- 00:28 - 00:31
for name is the smallest unit of sound
- 00:31 - 00:34
that serves to distinguish one word from another.
- 00:35 - 00:38
H I V. A. C. Work represents a sound
- 00:39 - 00:42
as we can see here in the picture where we have violence
- 00:42 - 00:48
and consonants and there is a specific symbol representing each of them.
- 00:48 - 00:53
But we will check that later on because those are parts of the elements of the epa.
- 00:54 - 00:57
But what is the importance of the A. P. A. Then?
- 00:58 - 01:02
Well the idea helps and the early speakers and new
- 01:02 - 01:07
english learners to identify and know how our is pronounced.
- 01:08 - 01:10
They can go and check the I. P. A. Chart.
- 01:10 - 01:16
So I'll find out exactly what sounds are in a war and where they were is stressed.
- 01:17 - 01:20
There are some words that are written the same
- 01:21 - 01:26
but by giving the stress to a different sea level, the meaning changes.
- 01:26 - 01:31
A different important point is not. English is not a phonetic language.
- 01:31 - 01:36
This means that the way it is written doesn't tell us how it is pronounced.
- 01:36 - 01:40
So now when the I. P. A charge
- 01:40 - 01:44
help us determine how to pronounce words
- 01:44 - 01:47
and something that's very important is that
- 01:48 - 01:52
by checking the fanatical transcription of a world we
- 01:52 - 01:55
haven't seen before or we have heard before.
- 01:55 - 01:58
We can determine how it is pronounced
- 01:58 - 02:01
just by checking that for medical transcription.
- 02:01 - 02:06
Because that includes the symbol of each sound.
- 02:06 - 02:10
And if we know how each symbol is pronounced,
- 02:10 - 02:14
then we will easily know how to pronounce that unknown world.
- 02:15 - 02:19
As I was mentioning before. The I. P. Contains some elements.
- 02:20 - 02:24
This includes vowel sounds divided in monotones
- 02:24 - 02:27
and depth towns and consonant sounds.
- 02:27 - 02:29
Let's check them individually.
- 02:30 - 02:32
We have here 12 monath ons
- 02:33 - 02:37
there are short vowel sounds and long vowel sounds.
- 02:37 - 02:43
Long vowel sounds are distinguished by two dots next to the vowel.
- 02:43 - 02:46
And we have some words that contain each of those sounds. We have
- 02:46 - 02:48
sheep, sheep,
- 02:48 - 02:49
good
- 02:49 - 02:50

- 02:56 - 02:57
Car. And on
- 02:58 - 03:03
here we have a different depth tongues at depth
- 03:03 - 03:07
is a vowel in which the speaker's tongue changes position while it has been
- 03:07 - 03:13
pronounced so that the vowel sounds like a combination of two other vowels.
- 03:13 - 03:15
In simple words we can say that a
- 03:15 - 03:19
death song is the combination of two different vowels
- 03:19 - 03:25
Making one Single sound. And as well we have some words that contain those sounds.
- 03:25 - 03:26
We have deer
- 03:26 - 03:27
say
- 03:28 - 03:29

and finally
- 03:36 - 03:39
We have the 24 conference sounds.
- 03:40 - 03:45
And we also have words that contain those specific sounds. We have
- 03:45 - 03:46
