What do you mean with pseudo-phonetic?

How do you pronounce the first letter of "I"? And the first letter of 
"Incredible"? That doesn't seem to have any logic! :-P

I always laugh when I see webpages that try to explain in English how to 
pronounce words in another language. For example:

Come ti chiami? --> KOH-meh tee kee-AH-mee?
Piacere di conoscerla --> pyah-CHEH-reh dee koh-noh-SHEHR-lah
Comment vous appellez-vous? --> kuh-MAHN vooz ah-puhll-ay VOO?

:)
