Questions/Answers
What is the best way to teachmyself IPA?
I am studying voice, and as a student of voice, I must take four semesters of diction classes (one each for English, Italian, French, and German). Since I know all of these languages already, I think this is somewhat unnecessary. All I really need to learn is how to apply the International Phonetic Alphabet to these languages. I would like to teach myself IPA so I can test out of these classes. What book, website, or program should I use to learn IPA, and what are good review methods?
I took a Phonetics course at UVM. We used the text "A Course in Phonetics" by Peter Ladefoged. I guess he is basically the leader in phonetic advances and transcriptions. The book is pretty helpful, and obviously includes description of symbols used in languages other than English... Good luck!
In your opinion, whatcharacteristics make up a goodIPA?
Do you like a certain degree of hoppiness? Are there other flavors that you like in an IPA besides the hops? What makes your favorite IPA(s) stand out from the rest?
The key is balance. Most brewers today go over the top with hops, often high-alpha hops that make the beer damn near undrinkable. Don't get me wrong, I am a hophead; more bitter, more better! But when my lips get chapped from the alphas, it's time to switch it up to something else. I'm a fan in particular of Cascade and Simcoe hops. I love the grapefruit-lemon rind-spruce flavors of these types of hops. Obviously, the malt has to be present as well. As far as other flavors, I brewed a Pumpkin Pie IPA last fall that was outstanding (modesty aside). Favorite commercial IPAs? Arcadia, Harpoon, High Seas (Michigan Brewing), Stone. Specialty IPAs? Bell's Hopslam! Cheers!
