This is the first of a series of tutorials on the area of phonetics - speech sounds. It outlines our purpose in studying phonetics, what phonetics is, and introduces the International Phonetic Alphabet.
Access Truth acknowledges and pays respect to the Biripi and Danghatti/Thangatti people, Elders and Country on which we live and work. We highly value the diverse languages, cultures and traditions of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We express deep sorrow for the devastation and loss that has occurred since European occupation of their lands. We stand alongside them, asking for God’s help in the process of healing and reconciliation.
