hey guys I know you're super keen to
improve your English pronunciation and
to do that you need two things a native
English speaker and a super amazing tool
called the IPA the international
phonetic alphabet huh
don't worry I'm going to tell you all
about it in just a minute
in lots of languages each letter
represents only one sound so it's easy
to try and pronounce words just by
looking at how the word is spelled but
English isn't like this no no no no no
no nope nope nope when you see letters
in an English word they won't always be
pronounced the same way take the letter
C for example in the word cup it's
pronounced cut but that's different to
the word place and when a c is next to a
hey CH it's often chip like in chocolate
but in the word ake it's pronounced like
a cut again here this is why the
International phonetic alphabet is such
a great tool for English students to
practice their pronunciation with and I
use it all the time when I'm teaching
pronunciation lessons in the IPA every
sound has a unique symbol so when you
read it you know exactly how to
pronounce the English word for example
the words though thought and cough all
have the same Oh ugh spelling but
actually they're pronounced very
differently though thought and cough now
these symbols might seem a little scary
to you especially if you haven't seen
the IPA before but actually they're so
helpful for you when you're learning
English pronunciation because it tells
you exactly how to say the word Oh
Koff so even if you've never heard of
these symbols before don't freak out in
today's lesson we're going to go through
the International phonetic alphabet
together now there's 26 letters in the
English alphabet right but there are 44
different sounds way more than there are
letters that's why I use the IPA to help
my students when they're studying
English pronunciation let's look at
vowels first there are five English
vowels aren't there a oh I oh and you
but there are way more English vowel
sounds some of them are long some of
them are short and some of them are just
lazy let's go through them e e o o
err
oh all ah ah are oh there's another
group of vowel sounds called diphthongs
now don't worry about remembering that
crazy name all you need to do is
remember the sounds diphthongs are
sounds that change from one vowel sound
to another but in the same syllable so
watch my mouth position change as I make
each of these sounds ear air or al Oh a
I we so we've been through valves and
diphthongs now we'll move on to
consonants the top row are unvoiced
consonant sounds which means that the
sound is made by air moving from the
back of your mouth through and out your
lips there is one extra letter that is
unvoiced down the bottom then all the
rest of the consonant sounds are voiced
which means that the sound is made here
with your vocal cords are you can feel
it here and unvoiced sounds use just air
you can't feel anything here
huh
tip
shit Shh

嘿伙计们，我知道你非常热衷于
提高你的英语发音，而
要做到这一点，你需要两个东西，一个以英语为母语的
人和一个超级神奇的工具，
叫做 IPA，
国际音标，
呵呵，别担心，我会告诉你
只需一分钟即可了解所有内容
在多种语言中每个字母
仅代表一个声音，因此
只需
查看单词的拼写即可轻松尝试发音，但
英语不是这样的 no no no no no no no no
no no no no 当您
在英语单词中看到字母时，它们的发音方式并不总是
相同以字母
C 为例，在单词 cup 中它的
发音为 cut 但这
与单词 place 不同，当 ac 紧挨着
hey CH 时，它通常是chip 就像在巧克力中一样，
但是在单词 ake 中，它在这里的发音又像
一个切口，这就是为什么
国际语音字母表
是英语学生练习发音的绝佳工具，
我在教授发音课时一直使用它
国际音标协会
每个声音都有一个独特的符号，因此当您
阅读它时，您确切地知道如何
发音英语单词，例如
，虽然思想和咳嗽的单词
都有相同的哦 ugh 拼写，但
实际上它们的发音非常
不同，尽管现在思想和咳嗽
这些符号 对你来说可能看起来有点吓人
，特别是如果你以前没有
看过 IPA，但实际上它们
在你学习英语发音时对你很有帮助，
因为它
会准确地告诉你如何说 Oh Koff 这个词，
所以即使你 以前从未听说过
这些符号 不要在
今天的课程中惊慌失措 我们将一起学习
国际音标
现在英语字母表中有 26 个字母，
但是有 44
种不同的发音比字母多得多，
这就是为什么 我用国际音标来帮助
我的学生学习
英语发音 让我们先看看
元音 有五个英语
元音 不是有一个 oh I oh and you
但是还有更多的英语元音
发音 some of 它们很长，
有些很短，有些只是
懒惰，让我们看看它们 eeoo
err
oh all ah ah are oh 还有另一
组称为双元音的元音
现在不用担心记住那个
疯狂的名字你需要做的就是
记住声音双元音是
从一个元音
变为另一个元音但在同一个音节中的声音，所以
当我发出
这些声音中的每一个时注意我的嘴巴位置变化耳朵空气或al Oh a
I we so we've been throughvalve and
diphthongs 现在我们将继续讨论
辅音 最上面一行是清
辅音，这意味着
声音是由空气从
嘴巴后部穿过并流出
嘴唇发出的，底部有一个额外的清音字母，
然后是所有的
其余的辅音是有声的
，这意味着声音
是用你的声带
发出的
你
很好，那就是我 对于这节课，请
