IPA (International Phonetic Aphabet)

FOR TEACHERS
The IPA was invented as a set of standard international symbols for writing down sounds, so that it could be possible to show in writing how to pronounce any language in the world.

The Early Start Teacher's manuals use just a few of its symbols - see example, right.

You will also find the IPA used some reference dictionaries as a guide to pronunciation.

You can find the whole phonetic alphabet on the website of the Association that develops and maintains how IPA is used:

- for the complete phonetic alphabet.
