Phonetics is the scientific study of speech sounds.

Another great video! It's interesting to note the difference in phonetic transcription and pronunciation between American English and other world Englishes. I'm Australian for example, so when I paused the video at the last example of the three sentences written phonetically to test myself before you read them I had to put on my "American cap" to read them correctly. For us, words like FART, YOUR, DIRECTION and HOVERCRAFT are transcribed respectively as fɑːt,  jɔː,  dɪˈrɛkʃən and ˈhɒvəkrɑːft.
