In this lesson we look at the phonemes of all these sounds in the IPA (international phonetic alphabet) so you can start to understand the phonetic transcription of words when you look them up in your online dictionary. Learning how to read the international phonetic alphabet will help you know exactly how to pronounce words in English, without being confused by the often strange spellings of words.

Exactly. I noticed this immediately I started watching 😅
And some of the text. He's Blue, man!
😂

I have been learning English for many years, but my teachers have never taught me these 44 phonetics. I learned these phonetics through this video. I am hopeful that I will learn them fast. Thank You!
it was wonderful. some of words were unrecognizable and seemed like Egyptian hieroglyphs but as soon as I started to pronounce them everything becomes clear. thank you teacher 🌹

I've read somewhere; The way you learn something has more impact on you than the thing that you learn. Great lesson. Congrats and thanks!
I find this information extremely useful, as a spanish speaker I'm impressed that our schools actually dont teach this, its not even hard and its like the basics to be able to pronounce correctly any language.
Right? I feel like this should be a compulsory part of the curriculum from a very young age, well before students are learning an auxiliary language at school.
Hi Greg! Many thanks for your great effort in teaching us to pronounce English in the right way! Hope you're doing well! Take care!
This channel is one of a few which I would recommend to all fans of English. Gorgeous performance! 🎯
Cheers Greg! I have been able to brush up my phonetic knowledge because of this lesson..
It's so cool that an international pronunciation alphabet exists. If one were to learn how to pronounce all the sounds in it, one would be able to read aloud any word in any accent of any language, as long as a native or a speaker of the language can translate it to the IPA
Not quite. These are for English. Russian, German, Spanish etc. all the phonemes that are not represented by this phonetic alphabet
Have*
I'm a native Arabic speaker. English is my second language. I've always wanted to learn about phonetics and this is the first video I've watched on the subject. Thank you sir for making it look easy.
I stumbled across this video curious about learning IPA chart symbols. As an American I found this interesting. I was pronouncing the words like a British person, it was kind of crazy to me lol. Caught me off guard a little. Thanks for the video.
I have a lot of pleasure from watching your video! I'm ukrainian and I was studing English last 3 years. Now I am temporarily living in Netherlands and I continue to improve my skills with your lessons. Thank you very much for your great work!
It pays to enrich our pronounciation. Thanks a million!
Studying********
Excellent way of teaching! Super thanks for making this video! I looked through other videos, but yours one stands out!! The way you have segmented 44 sounds is incredible. Love the way you explained each and every pronunciation with great analogy!! Super clear!! I'm so happy to have bumped into your channel! I have been looking to learn IPA but didn't find any good channel. Now, I feel I am at the right place!
Such a great video ! Almost got them all right in the end eventhough I've never knew what they were and always wanted to learn but didn't know where to start. Thanks a bunch !
Greg you are great. YOur enthusiasm and ease of which I found myself going along is addicting. Thank you so much. I am glad I found your page.
How much I love and understand your lessons. Big thanks💖💖💖💖
Thanks so much for creating this video on IPA. Your clear explanations and useful examples made the concept of the International Phonetic Alphabet much easier to understand.
It needs to be pointed out there is a huge difference between British (especially Cockney) and American accents which in many cases causes some difficulty and misunderstanding in communication not to mention dialect and idioms being used here and there. Great vid overall 👍
Hi Greg! Thanks a lot for making this video, it's so useful for me & I'm able to improve my phonetics knowledge just because of this lesson... Once again, big thanks, really like watching this video & all off yours...
Excellent. Greg ,this is of great help to foreign learners of English.
Tough learning made easy! Thank you for helping me learn better and quicker.
You gave a great lesson on how to identify, produce and discriminate consonants and vowel sounds.
I had so much fun learning the sounds thank you 🥰
Hi Greg! I really love your videos. You make everything look easy! Thanks a lot!
Amazing video! Was scared about this course but after this video, I can say it’s not too scary. I got 7/10 on the test. Although I chose sow for number 8 and work for number 9. Do you have a video explaining the branches and approaches of Phonetics and Phonology? Thank you once again!
Really,Mr.Greg is wonderful teacher.Your explanation about phonetics is morvellous.
Thank you greg , that was very helpful to reinforce my understanding of phonemes , cheers ^^
I've taking phonetic almost three time and have never understood any of it until this video! you are absolutely amazing at this! BEST VIDEO EVER
Bluh be lying so hard ong
Thanks for the video Greg. It's really helpful. Cheers!
I was struggling with all of those sounds and OMG I found your chanel that helped me a lot. thank you for that!
Wow! The teaching approach was so simple, on point, brilliant and effective! A sincere gratitude from Asia. ✨ Gonna visit this channel often.
It's one of the most relevant lesson about the English IPA I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing.
I got all of them!! I'M SO HAPPY! What an amazing class! I'm Mariane from Brazil. Thank you!!
Hi Master! I am from Ethiopia. really it was very fantastic lesson. since I am English as a foreign language teacher it is directly connected with my career. even though I thought English for so many years, phonetic transcription was difficult for me to teach my students. I know I am poor in English but I am still hungry to communicate fluently with it. I expect so many things from you.
I always had a problem with pronunciation. Thanks to you, now I know where to start. Love from 🇱🇰.
Eu sou estudante brasileiro de Inglês e esse conteúdo está me ajudando muito. Muito obrigado.
I was really scared about IPA before but now it's pretty much easier . Thanks for the valuable lessons.
Greg , Why do not you make a lesson about " an introduction about English literature " ...
Thanks for this lesson, Greg!
Thank you so much! Reading for my exams now it's much easier ! You are an excellent teacher
I am so happy!! i got all of your question answers right!! And you were right master greg, phonetics is very easy!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the explanation!! Now, I got them all💖
Excellent video, Greg! But there was a little mistake in the IPA symbol for /i/ (6:12) and /ɪ/ (6:59): Actually, it goes like this: /iː/ sheep, feet, leave, peek /ɪ/ ship, fit, live, pick But good job! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes. This is a great video, good work indeed. 🙏But I think you could correct this mistake with an on-screen card? Also the /ŋ/ sound in, say, _feeling_ does not have, as such, a /g/ sound at the end of it. The sound of voiced velar nasal /ŋ/ is going towards a /g/ but actually stops short of including it. This adding of /g/ is something most French speakers learning English typically do.
Exactly! There is another mistake indeed. The e sound in bed is not /e/ (closed e like in say) but /ε/ (open e): /b εd/
Quite a serious mistake, especially when he claims that i is "ship" but i: is "sheep". Those are two very different vowels, not a lengthening of the same vowel.
Also the a in "cart" is not a long version of the a in "cat". They have different symbols so this should have been obvious. Big mistake.
really it's /ɪj/ and /ɪ/
Thank you so much Greg. I'll try to do my best. The video is very informative!!!!
Thanks a lot Greg ! Finally got to know about these pronunciation! ❤
Thank you so much for this wonderful lesson.
Thanks so much, this is such a simple method. I honestly find it very easy and useful for my TEFL course.
Hi Greg😀Thank-you so much for preparing and sharing such easy-to-follow IPS lesson. Cheers! Sid👍

when the quiz was coming, in your basic phonetics episode, I couldn't do it but I tried again and finally, i did it. Thank you for your intelligence teacher. I LOVE YOUR LESSONS!
Incredibly helpful video. Makes me think why I struggled so much with this in unversity, all I needed was this video, haha.
Mr. Greg you are amazing teacher, thank you soo much
you have calming eye color. Thanks for this post. It helps me a lot.
Firstly, your video is so good, i'm brazillian and a Portuguese speaker. that's theme is impressive to me, because in portuguese we use pointings to represent fonetics, like á to æ and â to ʌ, it´s so interesting for me, and completely newel, learn about the english phonetics.
Thank you so much for your clear and easy way of explanation😊
This was one part of my 1960s English degree course and I never quite mastered - but now I am hopeful!
Thanks mate! You just taught my class and i in 15 minutes what our professor has been struggling to for an entire semester
I have been learning English for many years, but my teachers have never taught me these 44 phonetics. I learned these phonetics through this video. I am hopeful that I will learn them fast. Thank You!
Man, you are my hero right now. Thank you so much!!
