This version has IPA included, in case anyone knows IPA better than English and wants to try to follow along.
- SECProto 7y agoI opened that link and was going to comment on the use of IPA - because in the first line I noticed it was using the British pronunciation, 'kriːʧə, rather than the North American pronunciation, 'kriːʧɚ. But in double checking myself, I found something more interesting - the wikipedia article [1] on R-coloured vowels (like the sound at the end of creature, that I was talking about). I thought I was pronouncing the r consonant separately, but instead it's just changing the vowel sound, which is linguistically kind of rare. Neat!
