Nope. I don’t think I knew it existed until recently. When I was a kid in school we learned the different symbols for pronunciation of English vowels. I didn’t even learn those very well and don’t remember most of them. I know that they are different than IPA symbols though.

Torsten, it is a good idea that you familiarize members with the IPA through this method!

The British version is a bit different.
