How does one "learn IPA" ? I'm interested enough in language and accents in a hobby kind of way that I don't think I can avoid it anymore.

But I find it extraordinarily intimidating. All those backwards letters and little embellishments...

What would one do? Make some flash cards?

IPA: International Phonetic Alphabet
It's stuff like this: ˈlaΕ‹Ι‘uadΝ‘ziz

@futurebird@sauropods.win I found playing this really helped me internalize IPA better, and gave me a better understanding of how those sounds are composed as a bonus, but it's definitely rough going at first: https://nascl.rc.nau.edu/gramle/
