    Back in 1990’s when I was a pupil in a Russian school we used to divide each page into 3 columns named “word/transcription/translation” & write down the word itself, then it’s symbols & finally the Russian translation. I have never learned any reading rules, coz it was so natural to remember the words by symbols. I’ve never heard the term IPA before this video.

    It would be helpful pedagogically if polysyllabic words were syllabified. For example, in the lesson, is given the IPA transcription /'tiːtʃə/, which does not tell us that the pronunciation is unique, unless one learns to syllabify it. As a matter of fact, roughly half of British people pronounce /'tiːtʃə/ as ['tiː tʃə] (meaning that one pronounces ['ti:] first, followed by [tʃə]). The other half pronounce /'tiːtʃə/ as ['tiːt° °tʃə] (meaning that the 1st syllable is ['tiːt°], the 2nd syllable is [°tʃə]. The intervocalic /tʃ/ is rendered ambi-syllabic, in that [t° stands for the compression stage in the articulation of the /t/ in the affricate /tʃ/, and °t] the hold and release stage of the /t/ in /tʃ/).
