IPA tutorial for literally just me

who speaks American English; Mandarin Chinese, with a Taiwanese accent, probably; and Spanish (one semester of middle school) Notation: I'll write IPA unadorned, example English words or "intuitive" fragments in quotes, and X-SAMPA as code. Example: the IPA ə is the "a" in "about" and has X-SAMPA @. VowelsThe bad news is that none of the lowercase vowels (a e i o u) are intuitive for an English speaker; the good news is that all of them are intuitive for a Spanish speaker. The "English 101" sounds associated with the vowels are: "a" ("bat") = æ = { "e" ("bet") = ɛ = E "i" ("bit") = ɪ = I "o" ("bot") = ɑ = A (Brits may have ɒ = Q instead) "u" ("but") = ʌ = V The "long vowels": "long A" ("bait") = eɪ = eI "long E" ("beet") = i = i "long I" ("bite") = aɪ = aI "long O" ("boat") = oʊ = oU "long U" (but without the "y" part) ("boot") = u = u Other vowels: "bought" = ɔ = O (merged with ɑ = A in the "cot-caught" merger) "book" = ʊ = U schwa, "a" in "about" = ə = @ "ow" ("bout") = aʊ = aU "oy"…
