Understanding True Phonetics Ft. Alexander Penman Founder & CEO True Phonetics



True Phonetics is an app that can help you learn to read and write the phonetic alphabet, however, the pronunciation model that he teach is different to the traditional one that you can find. This is because the official phonetic alphabet is extremely(extremely) inaccurate. In 2019, shortly after Alex started to learn to read and write the phonetic alphabet that it doesn’t describe the way anyone speaks. Nobody speaks the way that phonetic transcriptions are written in dictionaries, and nobody ever has. It’s extraordinary when people become fluent in this alphabet, you develop a highly accurate sense of human sounds and you hear the vast majority of pronunciation teachers contradicting themselves as they speak. True Phonetics started as a campaign to change the system, but in 2024 it became an education technology company. It’s no longer just a good model, it’s now also the best way to learn it.
