Understanding how sounds form—and how sounds combine to create words— is imperative to learning how to transcribe speech phonetically. Taking a "meta" approach, A Phonetics Workbook for Students by Heidi Harbers prepares students to transcribe speech phonetically by helping them become aware of the sounds of English phonology. Following a systematic, learning-friendly organization, chapter’s progress from awareness of sounds, to articulatory phonetics and IPA symbols, to transcription. Unlike other workbooks, its exercises are varied and challenging and develop both foundational and critical thinking skills. By teaching students how to develop both an ear and eye for phonetics, the workbook provides a superior foundation from which transcription skills can develop.

This workbook was simply phenomenal to help me review what I learned a couple of years ago in my phonology class. It has great exercises that include the answers in the back. My only warning is that I probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone who has no experience with the IPA chart. The book starts with differentiating sounds in their normal spelling as opposed to introducing the sound as it would appear when transcribed. Personally, I think any person starting off would find it confusing, there were times that I would have to transcribe a word before I could figure out an answer! Definitely a great refresher, but not so much as an intro book.
The exercises in the book would be really helpful if the answer key wasn't wrong as often as it is. It makes it confusing for students trying to learn the material.
As expected. Lots of practice (granted it is a workbook).
Very helpful exercises
