It was fun learning more in depth about the anatomy and physics of our speech and phonics. Although aware of the phonemic chart from the dictionary I'm surprised it's not something taught in school. It's not natural since it isn't used in the written English language, but it is such a helpful chart to identify definitive sounds or pronunciations per word.
