International Phonetics Alphabet (IPA)

Do you know IPA ? IPA or International Phonetics Alphabet is the international standard which is used by English to show how to pronounce word correctly. Before I joined mid test in my 3rd semester my lecture asked all students to search IPA and make it as a poster. Besides, we had to search 10 words which matched with each phonetics. In this case phonetics isn’t talk about letter, but it talks about sound. SO, what do you think so far about IPA? It seems easy, but actually it needs our sharp eyes, for, we should search that word in OXFORD/ CAMBRIDGE dictionary. Total of IPA is about 48-52 and if each phonetics need 10 words, it means you should find 480-520 words from dictionary. Simple, but bored.  Another problem came when my of corel draw’ IPA’s file couldn’t open because the type of my corel and printing office’s corel was different . Absolutely, I was really sad, confused, angry, and all of them mix together in my mind ! So, this is my final result, it didn’t seem as good as my friend’s IPA but I do it by my self without ask anyone and it makes me proud and satisfied . so,, here it is.
