IPA would do better than "English" approximations usually do :)
Only for people that know IPA - and know it for the phonemes used in that language, too. I can muddle through most of the IPA symbols used in English (since I've read so many Wikipedia articles that use it), but I get lost very quickly when trying to understand the pronunciations for foreign words.
