    Is anyone able to read IPA without that key? This is where I get lost. It’s an entire new language for a very specific thing so I can’t imagine anyone but language scholars finding it useful

      yeah I can read without the key, it’s not that hard, and it’s not a new language, it’s just a script that unambiguously maps phonemes to “letters”.
