Hi Stephan; I'm totally amazed by your work. (as usual) I've been thinking abut these face symbols, and I have a question. When I look at the mouth with air streaming out of it, to me that says "aspiration." Voicing seems to me to be associated with the vocal cords, as you describe with your "lock" symbol. and I think aspiration isn't important in German, just as it isn't in English?? My viewpoint is that of a hearing linguist, so it is worlds away from what your "little teachers" are seeing. I remember having a terrible time figuring out what was meant by voiced/ voicless. Still, I wonder about this; do you use both the air and the lock symbol? Is it confusing to have air-out for voicing? Mostly, I'm just amazed at what you are accomplishing. Exciting, isn't it??
