Phonetics in English

A phoneme is a distinct unit of sound in a language that distinguishes one word from another.
Vowel sounds in English include /iː/ (as in "see"), /ɑː/ (as in "car"), and /uː/ (as in "boot").
Consonant sounds in English include /p/ (as in "pat"), /t/ (as in "tap"), and /k/ (as in "cat").
A diphthong in English is a combination of two vowel sounds pronounced in a single syllable, such as /aʊ/ (as in "how") or /eɪ/ (as in "play").
Voiced consonant sounds in English are those that are made by vibrating the vocal cords, such as /b/ (as in "bat"), /d/ (as in "dog"), and /g/ (as in "go").
