A note on the easiest ways to use phonetic symbols in preparing this assignment:
a) This IPA chart website might be very helpful for 'typing' IPA symbols. Click(click), copy, paste.b) Alternatively, you may write this out by hand on a piece of paper to turn in (I suggest something that is erasable); you will need to scan or clearly photograph it. Or you may type in a word doc and turn in hard copy or pdf...c) For just typing in a doc: on a Mac the Phonetic Alphabet in the Character Viewer is helpful [Keyboard preferences: "Show keyboard and emoji viewers in menu bar;" then from menu bar select "Show Emojis and Symbols; customize with gear at upper left; add Phonetic Alphabet and the select it for choices. Double click symbol to insert.Hint: You will need to work through this assignment aloud to do it correctly.

a. touch [thətʃ]b. womanc. womend. floode. wrappedf. praysg. broodh. ghouli. torchj. stoodk. movel. breathem. breathn. loseo. loose
I recommend that you pronounce each word slowly aloud.

When and where appropriate, make use of the diacritics you are learning in your class, for example: stress & aspiration (and, if your instructor includes, nasalization, syllabic consonants, and/or devoicing).
• Exercise 7 For each orthographic word shown, correct the mistakes in the phonetic transcriptions, if there is a mistake. If no mistake, note that.

Do PART 1 ONLY. NOTE that C means that position is a Consonant; V means that position is a Vowel.
I suggest wearing headphones. No diacritics are expected for the Listening Transcription Exercise. I suggest doing this on scratch paper and then when you are done, producing a final version of your transcription to turn in.
