It's not Valentine's Day yet, but it's never too early to profess your love.

[ID: an animation of a red, heart-shaped locket opening to reveal an image of the International Phonetic Alphabet vowel chart and the text "Wikipedia page for IPA vowel chart with audio."]

That ol’ chart of mine makes the rounds online periodically and it drives me crazy because it’s frankly not very good. So, I finally got around to remaking it.

I doubt this will get anywhere near as popular, but I wanted to make it.

Good reference for animation, comics, and for visualizing phonetics!

Go!
