Hello! Does anyone have any tips to memorize something quickly? I need to memorize the phonetic alphabet and I’m finding it very hard to lock in. It is also too late for me to take my adderall to help me focus. Anything helps! Thx.

Something that helps me sometime is turn it into a sentance, like make a sentance or three where the words start with the letters?

Is there ones you specifically need help on? I’m a linguistics major and it helps focusing on some of you already know others

Any vowels with the : next to it just means it’s a longer version of that sound in a literal sense. Think of the way you say “cute” [kjut] versus shoe [S(long s looking thing)u:]

The backwards a is like the “awe” sound when you see a puppy, so maybe to remember, say “Awe, doggy” and that will remind you of the sound it makes

I do not sadly. This class was a Miami requirement so I’m completely new to the topic:/

Okay, the first two rows of three consonants are the exact same as English, and so are s, z, k, g, t, d, h, l, and r. Those are all English sounds and visualizations so if you remember those, that’s a start. If you take any foreign languages (like Spanish) all the basic vowel sounds are (ah) a, (eh) e, (ee) i, (oh) o, and (ooh) u

The upside down e is the most relaxed vowel somebody can say. The “uhhh” sound. Like in “about” or in “upside”

The upside carrot is also an “uhhh” sound, but the difference is so minimal and I’m assuming you’re in a beginner class and wouldn’t have to worry about the difference, so treat them the exact same way

The uppercase i looking one is slightly less high and slightly less front than the normal i sound, producing an “ih” like “spit” [spIt] or “hit” [hIt]. Can sometimes be confusing, especially with similar words, to i, so remember i is the ee sound in words like “heat” [hit], but uppercase i is the ih sound in words like “hit” [hIt]

The horseshoe looking one is what I can best describe sounds like “eugh”, in words such as “woman” “put” and “took”
