Phonetics 1 - Consonants
Season 1 Episode 8 | 11m 16s | CC
The letters in a word don’t always match the sounds they represent, and people can pronounce words in different ways. We begin our discussion of phonetics, the study of speech sounds, by talking about consonants, and we’ll also get an introduction to the International Phonetic Alphabet, or IPA.
