Phonetics of the day

In this section we'll post the same words we're seeing in our phonetics section in class. I dedicate a week ( Mon.-Thu.)for every sound. We're doing dipthongs (vowel clusters) at the moment and this week is dedicated to /aʊ/. I'll (normally)post the word in the morning and its phonetic transciption at the end of the day, giving you plenty of time to figure it out.
