  • Back in 1990’s when I was a pupil in a Russian school we used to divide each page into 3 columns named “word/transcription/translation” & write down the word itself, then it’s symbols & finally the Russian translation. I have never learned any reading rules, coz it was so natural to remember the words by symbols. I’ve never heard the term IPA before this video.

  • It would be helpful pedagogically if polysyllabic words were syllabified. For example, in the lesson, is given the IPA transcription /'tiːtʃə/, which does not tell us that the pronunciation is unique, unless one learns to syllabify it. As a matter of fact, roughly half of British people pronounce /'tiːtʃə/ as ['tiː tʃə] (meaning that one pronounces ['ti:] first, followed by [tʃə]). The other half pronounce /'tiːtʃə/ as ['tiːt° °tʃə] (meaning that the 1st syllable is ['tiːt°], the 2nd syllable is [°tʃə]. The intervocalic /tʃ/ is rendered ambi-syllabic, in that [t° stands for the compression stage in the articulation of the /t/ in the affricate /tʃ/, and °t] the hold and release stage of the /t/ in /tʃ/).
