This course is provided to students who study Phonetics, or those who just want to increase their knowledge about Phonetics. Also, it would be of an immense help to those students who are about to take an exam in Phonetics and Phonology because everything, concerning phonetics, is well- detailed in these lectures. I really enjoyed it. Thanks.
