The symbols of the IPA represent the sounds of any language in a way that is not dependent on the pronunciation of any particular language. IPA symbols are indicated by brackets, for example the sound [u], which in English pronunciation guides is usually spelled "oo." The English word "you" in the IPA is [ju]. The French letter u is not pronounced anything like "oo," but rather something more like "ee," and its IPA symbol is [y], so that the French word "tu" is [ty] in the IPA.
