General Tips1

  • Learn the IPA ASAP
  • Associate a keyword with IPAs that are harder
  • Remember the internal logic of common IPA charts (looks like a head turned left)
    • Use a blank IPA chart
  • Common transcription errors in vowels and stress
    • Finding stress: say word in sing-song like someone’s name, and syllable with highest pitch is primary stress
