Re: Pronunciation (was Chinese learning English)

For me as an Aussie/British speaker I cannot relate to the pronunciation 
specified in truespel.  In the example Dick shows, I would never say /daug/ or 
/faaks/.  Also I would not say /jumpd/ rather /jumpt/. I also disagree with 
Nelson that it is the same sound in duck or luck as a schwa.  I will stick with 
IPA, it has always worked for me.
