Pronunciation
However, on this new website, on some pages, you can move your cursor over the pronunciations to see pronunciation tips for certain sounds, as shown in the illustration. If you really want to know exactly how to say these greetings, I highly recommend studying phonetics and learning the International Phonetic Alphabet. However, for those who don't want to take the time, I have still included the English-type pronunciations.

If you want to learn about phonetics, I recommend reading the book A Practical Introduction to Phonetics, by J.C. Catford. Example of IPA: |
