musician is the English word for musicians, and the British phonetic symbol is [mju? z? N], the American phonetic symbol is [mju? z? n]。

learning skills of phonetic symbols:

1. Listening training

To learn international phonetic symbols, you need to listen more and strengthen your memory through repeated listening exercises. If you have the conditions, you can listen to the teacher read the phonetic symbols more, or you can use the tape to listen to the sounds repeatedly.

In addition, you can also go to the zero-based section of the Growth Tree of Hujiang English (excellent course). In the second part, there is a pronunciation table in the phonetic alphabet, in which each phoneme can be listened to circularly to strengthen memory.

2. Imitation practice

When learning the pronunciation of the International Phonetic Alphabet, we should pay attention to observing the teacher's mouth shape, observing the changes of the pronunciation parts and actively imitating the pronunciation. Beginners can imitate the pronunciation in front of the mirror.

In particular, the tongue position of vowel pronunciation and the size of mouth opening are closely related to timbre. You can observe the difference of mouth shape through a mirror, and observe the activities of the tip of the tongue, the surface of the tongue and the leaves of the tongue, such as U and O, I and E, E and ε, and so on. It is of great significance to master the accurate oral opening for accurate pronunciation.

3. Pay attention to comparison

There are two aspects in comparison: first, compare the similarities and differences of phonetic symbols, distinguish the characteristics, avoid confusion, and pay attention to the differences in pronunciation timbre; Second, pay attention to the differences between phonemes in Putonghua and phonemes in foreign languages (courses) or dialects, such as the similarities and differences between phonemes [P], [K] and [T] in Putonghua and phonemes [B], [G] and [D] in English.

By comparison, we can effectively recognize the differences in phonemes, thus making accurate pronunciation. In particular, we should pay attention to the differences between Mandarin phonemes and English phonemes. Some voiced phonemes are not found in ordinary phonetic systems, and beginners can't confuse them with some consonants in Mandarin.

4. Multi-active mouth

Active mouth is the key and core of strengthening practice. Listening, imitating and comparing will ultimately come down to the goal of self-pronunciation, so active mouth is the key to mastering the pronunciation of international phonetic symbols. As the saying goes, "if you don't write for three days, you won't read for three days", that is to say, you should strengthen the cultivation of your ability to speak by hand.

Therefore, to learn the International Phonetic Alphabet, we should always strengthen pronunciation training, speak frequently and practice repeatedly. Compare in practice, understand the differences in practice, and practice makes perfect, so that you can naturally master the pronunciation of international phonetic symbols.
