Vowels of American English
Hi friends,
In this link: http://www.uiowa.edu/~acadtech/phonetics/about.html you will see there are 15 vowels in American English.
In this link: http://www.ic.arizona.edu/~lsp/IPA/SSAE.html you will see there are 12 vowels in Standard American English.
Which do you think is better to learn?
Thanks for your comments.
