Crash Course Linguistics
Phonetics 2 - Vowels
Season 1
Episode 9
In English, we have 5 (well, sometimes 6) vowel letters, but way more vowel sounds. That’s where the IPA can help us! We learn about vowels, those sounds you can sing with your mouth open, and how we can represent them clearly using the IPA.
