Phonetic transcriptions are usually written in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), in which each English sound has its own symbol. (You can take a look at a chart with all the English sounds and their IPA symbols.)
For example, the IPA-based phonetic transcription of the word HOME is hoʊm, and the transcription of COME is kʌm. Note that in spelling, these words are similar. They both end in OME. But their phonetic transcriptions are different, because they are pronounced differently.

The thing about IPA is that the way it is traditionally presented is very scientific, making it very convenient for those of us who know certain linguistic facts, but very obscure for a muggle, like I was then, or like you are now.
The trick to figuring out the IPA is first, throw out the tables - You'll use them later, but for now we just want to focus on something you already know: English. This article "English Phonology" on Wikipedia is about English phonology, and of course, everything is explained in terms of the IPA; however, we can flip it around, so instead of using the IPA to understand English, we can use English to understand the IPA. Read through the section on "Phonemes", and you should get an idea of how to read and write English using the IPA.
Once you feel you understand the IPA for English, then you might want to look at the IPA consonant chart again. Look at the rows that contain symbols you recognize, and see if you can find any patterns between the sounds in every row. Do the same for the collums. Now, you will notice that on the left hand side of the table, there exists a box which contains the symbols Φ and β, in the same collumn as m, p, and b, and the same row as f, v, and h, all of which we know from English.
