It was a little bit useful for those who want to study phonetics on their own.
It contains the basic information about consonants, vowels and diphthongs.
***
It was really useful to know about the voicing of the consonants as they are voiced-voicless pairs: b-p, g-k, z-s, d-t, v-f, zh(g)-sh, dzh(j)-ch, ð-θ.
***
Note:
voiced + voicless = voiced + voiced --> eggs (egz)
voicless + voiced = voicless + voicless --> looked (lukt)
***
And all the way voicless sound is: h.
The all the way voiced sounds are: r, m, n, l, w, j (jott) and all vowels.
***
Brief chart:
(44 phonemes)
