Re: Betreft: Re: Jaars IPA Helper

At first I didn't knew too. Then I was told that Chinese (Mandarin) had
distinction unvoiced-aspirated.
Later I was told about the Dutch /z/, then I started taking notice.
Now I can hear the difference, but it is very difficult to hear.

        I think so. Is there a difference between unvoiced and voiceless? In
French we have only two words: "voisé" for voiced, and "dévoisé" for
unvoiced/voiceless, so I just confused them. If there is a difference of
meaning between unvoiced and voiceless, I would like to learn it, in order
not to make the mistake again.
