So I am writing an essay and have 0 clue how to use this alphabet, and was wondering If anybody could tell me what the symbol is for the sound in the vowel(U) shared between the words trunks and duffles? More specifically the U

Or at least explain to me how to use it

I would really appreciate it ^.^

the ipa is quite well described in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet

and if you google for 'xxx dictionary' you will find eg http://www.thefreedictionary.com/trunk giving you the pronunciation in ipa

Where does it give it in IPA?

I can't seemt o find it, I may just be stupid though ^.^



is that the pronunciation? And if so what symbol is that u called?

nvm figured it out

Thanks ^.^
