I.P.A. Transcription

I know that in 他是中国人
the Pīnyīn form "tā shì zhōngguó rén" is the easiest one for chinese language students, but there is also a transcription of the International Phonetic Alphabet (like in some dictionaries for english words)

/ tʰɑ1 ʂɨ4 tʂʊŋ1ku̯ɔ2 ʐən2 /

That's a transcription of one of possible prononciations of 他是中国人, perhaps the official one.
Pleco audio is better, of course, but sometime it is interesting to analyze sounds.
