Sound Rundown : Understanding the IPA Chart 

For this video, I try to quickly run through the IPA chart, describing what the labels and symbols mean. Feel free to pause and ponder if I'm going too fast. And I'm definitely going fast!
REMEMBER! This is a guide to what the chart says. If you're building a language, this can help you understand what sounds are available to you. Don't let it be a straightjacket. And don't worry if you personally can't make some of the sounds it describes, or if you make a certain sound differently. The world is a lot bigger than one little chart!

(I recommend the Doulos version, though the Deja Sans version is nice, too.)
