  1. (Intended as an intro to Alvin wordtranscription02 exercise.)

  2. Transcription Practice Learn to hear what sounds are there; forget about spelling quarter [kwoÔRÔ] – don’t worry about the flap just yet, but note that it’s not [kwoÔtÔ] thorough [TÔo] – 8 letters, but just 3 speech sounds; no kidding curfew [kÔfju]–not [kÔfu] casual [kQZuUl] – that last vowel is a little tricky; it’s the vowel in full, but very brief; also, if you had [kQZjuUl], you have a good ear, but the [j] you hear is just a side effect of traveling from the [Z] to the [u]; i.e., you have to “go thru” [j] to get from [Z] to [u]. (Don’t worry over it now.)

  3. puke [pjuk] usually (carefully spoken) [juZu«li] usually (casually spoken) [juZ«li] quill [kwIl] quagmire [kwQgmaiÔ](might be pronounced [kwQgmÃiÔ])

  4. painter (casually spoken) [penÔ] painter (carefully spoken) [pentÔ] identify (casually spoken) [aidEn«fai] identify (carefully spoken) [aidEnt«fai] mostly [mosli] – the [t] in this word is rarely pronounced

  5. banger [beNÔ] – no [n], no [g] Bangor [beNgoÔ] – this one has a [g], and it’s [beNgoÔ], not [beNgÔ] banker [beNkÔ] – it’s [beNkÔ], not [beNkoÔ] pizza [pits«] – a [t] and an [s], but no [z]
