International Pheonatic Symbols (IPS)

Today we learn about International Pheonatic Symbols.It is an alphabetic system of phonetic notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet. It was devised by the International Phonetic Association as a standardized representation of the sounds of spoken language We need to find the meaning of some word.

          For example:  Tool = 
tטіl
                         Took = tטk
                               Short = פּ:t
                         One   = wΛn
                         Freighter = freitə
                               Show = ∫əט


For the 1st time we saw this symbol its look weird. But when we understand and know how to pronoun the English word become more interesting to use.  


Here we get an example from internet for you all to undestand:
