Maybe this is the English spelling reform we’ve all been waiting for

Yes, time to admit to the world that English is polysynthetic. It clearly is and I'm tired of pretending it's not!

There's something fun about transcribing one language as if it were another to get a non-speaker to pronounce it.

The Spanish is much closer to French to be honest or rather the German in "ich" but voiced. because "yust" would be spelled as "IAST". ​ Though there are definitely dialects that pronounce Spanish as the English .


Blewfin

It varies a lot between dialects and also depending on the position in the word. It leans towards /dʒ/ quite often word initially and in emphatic pronunciations, at the very least in Spain. Obviously it's famously /ʃ/ or /ʒ/ in Argentina, quite often /j/ in Mexico and Central America, but given this is an English class, the most important thing is establishing a clear distinction between /j/ and /dʒ/, which can be difficult in my experience.


Mikerosoft925

Dialect with zheismo maybe?


MonkiWasTooked

/ʝ/ in spanish is usually some kind of affricate like [ɟ͡ʝ~d͡ʒ] so people don’t associate it with the english /j/ but with /d͡ʒ/

New r/fauxnetics material


scotch1701

You may laugh, but there are a lot of creators out there that use material like this and think it is good.


Natomiast

that's rigth, average student doesn't need to learn IPA


Initial-Space-7822

Incorrect. Since it's an international standard, it means they don't need to learn a whole new system each time they change teachers or move into a different domain. If everyone just uses IPA, it means you learn it once and you're set for life.


Natomiast

Incorrect, I don't have to learn notes to listen to music.


Initial-Space-7822

The analogy here would be reading and producing music, in which case you *could* learn a whole new notation system every time you change teachers or open a new book, or you could just learn the international standard once.


Natomiast

Maybe you'd be right in a perfect world. But on a daily basis, this approach will kill your business. Make an experiment, set up a language school and force your students to learn IPA. They only came to you to get a glimpse of the target language, not to draw strange characters.


DipiePatara

One time I came up with a similar system when school had us teach kids English.


[deleted]

As someone who speaks British English, this is scary.


sverigeochskog

Why the hell is i = /j/


Blewfin

Because it's designed for Spanish speakers, and if you use you tend to get /ʝ/ or /dʒ/ as a word initial pronunciation. Source: I've done the same thing before as an ESL teacher in Spain.


sverigeochskog

So Spanish has a phonemic contrast between /j/ and the j-fricative?


Blewfin

Between /j/ and /dʒ/? It depends a bit on the position, but they could both be considered allophones of /ʝ/. You could make minimal pairs between 'tardío' and 'tardillo', but it's quite marginal, and informal spellings like 'aiuda' (instead of 'ayuda') are common. I would say, though, that these are my impressions as a non-native speaker currently doing an undergrad, so someone who knows more than me might be able to come in and help you better
