Whoda thought a video about IPA would be my silliest, most comedic video yet!?


Man, the audio in this video isn't very good. It keeps shifting around as I get closer and further away from my laptop. I should probably get a real microphone.

Also, see that equation at 7:37?
t = the amount of time you spend trying to learn linguistics without learning IPA
k(t) = total knowledge acquired as a function of t
It's been a while since I've studied calculus, so I'm not sure if that makes any sense.
