Phonetics: Beats and Rhythm –[Multimedia-English]
One of the things that makes English difficult to understand for foreign students is its particular rhythm. Many languages are syllabic, that means that every syllable takes the same amount of time to pronounce. In some languages stressed syllables take longer than unstressed syllables, but still, the pronunciation unit is the syllable. English is different, we don't care about syllables, we don't even care about words, it's all about beats (sound units). But not all words are affected in the same way. 1- Content words the words with meaning (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs) 2- Grammatical words words with no meaning, but they build the grammatical structure of the sentence (prepositions, articles, verb particles, pronouns, etc.) Every sound unit (beat) has a content word, which is the most important part of it. Here's an example: Hi, What were you doing when I rang an hour ago? Content words hi, doing, rang, hourStructure words HI / what were you DOing / when i RANG / an HOUR ago

Promotora Española de Lingüística - Alfabeto Fonético Internacional
Alfabeto Fonético Internacional El Alfabeto Fonético Internacional (AFI), que ha sido diseñado y es promulgado por la Asociación Fonética Internacional (AFI), es el principal alfabeto fonético usado actualmente en todo el mundo. Contiene un juego de símbolos y diacríticos, representados en las figuras inferiores, a fin de transcribir cualquier lengua, si bien sólo una porción de tales símbolos y diacríticos serán necesarios para cada una en particular. Antes de nada hay que señalar algunos principios fundamentales en la notación fonética: Algunos de los símbolos usados son los mismos que se emplean en la ortografía tradicional, como [h], [a], [t], [e], pero su valor fonético puede variar de los asociados normalmente a los caracteres ortográficos.Cada símbolo tiene un valor de sonido específico. La tabla de las consonantes sigue el método tradicional de definir las características articulatorias de los sonidos que usan aire de los pulmones.
