Is anyone able to read IPA without that key? This is where I get lost. It's an entire new language for a very specific thing so I can't imagine anyone but language scholars finding it useful

The ones used for English? Sure. When it comes to other languages I certainly don’t know all of them though.

Though, that is at least partially due to me learning English as a second language so I’ve looked at these a lot in dictionaries.

yeah I can read without the key, it's not that hard, and it's not a new language, it's just a script that unambiguously maps phonemes to "letters".
