Description
This amuses me. Phonetics look almost just like a five year old would write. Really, I stated that in class yesterday.This is the test of the three week phonetics course. Yes, the teacher actually told us this. No, it doesn't make it much easier, really, it just gives us a fair chance at not failing xD enjoy.
The phonetic text begins "There was no moon that warm july evening", just to give you a hunch of how fucked over it looks in comparison to how it IS.

o.O Ooo a few more symbols than I learnt about (mostly the vertical lines, I presume those are sentence breaks and fullstops?), but I can read most of it.
First sentence is: "There was a new moon that warm July evening."?
I can read all but one word that I don't recognise, and it's a rhotic dialect of English... which NZ isn't.
Without checking my chart notes... am I a geek or what? XD

Lulz xD I wish I had that kind of passion for this. Yes, one vertical line is somewhat like "," and to equals "." or "!".
Actually the first sentence is "There was no moon that warm July evening"
Yes, you are indeed xP

Ah.. the word I don't recognise is "church". It's definitely a different dialect, all the wrong vowels.. lol. It seems to be a rhotic dialect with the r-tap there. Is it perhaps a European dialect? The British English dialect isn't rhotic (um rhotic is where they pronounce the "r" at the end of words.. like "car" in NZ is pronounced more like "ka" whereas US folks'll pronounce the "r" on the end)... unless it's a US dialect?

It's RP (recieved pronounciation) = British english. They only teach british english here <.<
And they do pronounce the R at the end of a word if there is a vowel following it. "The car is red" for example.

O.o Oh? Ohhh, we don't I wish I'd learnt more about dialects and stuff. My course was only six months and only about 1/3 of one paper was about pronunciation.

Damn.. well I suppose that's equal, though this course is.. uh.. 4 months. It's weird I tell ya.. the spring semester/term (I can never remember which to use) that is xD
