Hear. This word is spelled phonetically with the IH vowel, ih, but I find it's more like the EE vowel, hear. Now you'll see a schwa in the phonetics but you don't need to worry about it.

Hear 这个单词在语音方面是有音IH，ih，但是我发现它听起来更像是音EE，hear。你会发现在它音标里有一个非重读央音，但你没有必要太担心。

Read this English book whilst listening to the audiobook version, reading alone will not help you with your pronunciation because English isn't a strictly phonetic language, the way something is written is not necessarily the way something's pronounced.

Now English is not phonetic so the letter that you see is not always pronounced in the same way and this is especially true for vowels.

A French scholar, Jean-Francois Champollion, then realised that not only the symbols for Ptolemy but all the hieroglyphs were both pictorial 'and' phonetic they recorded the 'sound' of the Egyptian language.

法国学者让弗朗索瓦商博良其后发现，所有象形文字都是既象形又表音。这种文字也记录下了及语发音。

So we're able to extrapolate to other phonetics and to other words, and our algorithm is able to figure out how Andy would say those words.

所以我们能够推断其他语音和单词，我们算法能够弄清楚安迪会怎么说这些单词。

Now I prefer not to say " the" TH sound, because there are actually two TH sounds in English, which are represented by these two phonetic symbols.

现在，我不太愿意说“the” TH 音，因为英语中其实有两个 TH 音，就是用这两个音标来表示。
