  • Hi Blanco,

    Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you liked what you found. There are other great things besides Linguaspectrum that are free. Fresh air, sunshine, rain on your face, laughter and love, the night sky, a sunrise and a sunset, waves on the seashore...

    Best wishes,

    Richard

  • Hello, do u know if there is a website or place where i can translate an english text into a phonetic alphabet?

    Thanks.

  • Hi. I don't think such a site exists. The phonetic transcription depends on the speaker's accent. Phonetic transcription is extremely difficult and skillful and takes years of practice to get it right. I don't think a machine is yet capable of doing it. Thousands of university students across the world probably wish it could be done, but the only way to do it is to learn how to do it yourself. Sorry.

  • btw: Music used this way works perfectly. :-) best wishes. B.

  • I continually strive to improve.

    Thanks for you comments,

    Richard

see all

  • I like it very very much: the music, the photo examples, the humour. The eagle dragging off the hunter. I have subscribed to your channel. I wish you powerful imagination and creativity for your new and special 101 video. Please, make the theme: "Modification of the place of articulation and active organ of speech". Unfortunately I can`t show an English pronunciation to my students as you can do, as a native.
