That's pretty impressive. In fact, it's hard to believe that somebody put so much effort in this just to help foreigners to improve their English. Have to mention that these videos what you makes are very well worked out. You must be in love with the English language.
i love the teacher very much she is beatuful
Yes -- the tongue does have to make contact with the roof of the mouth, which involves movement. This happens in the front/mid part of the tongue.
I'm homeschooling using phonetics and for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to say "y" even though I've been using it all my life! Thanks for this vid! I have subscribed!
The difference is that 'darter' has an R sound in the first syllable. In British English this R will be dropped or much less noticeable, but in American English, we give a good R sound.
you have great videos for Y [j] sound.
Thank you Ramzy!
I do, and I love teaching it!
Thank you for the explanation of J /Y I was reviewing the book you sell it I lost the first one and I bought the 2nd one then the sounds of English I bought it twice but the first time I registered for classes I paid about $900 and you’re assistant paired me with somebody I got nervous my computer I couldn’t manage well .we got to split the money since that time I got feeling of hate and love then I realized the one that was hurting was me . I decided to become a fan of you.again thank you for the explanation.
Addendum: I never took the free lessons I was irritated and I thought “she is not going to give the classes “
Sorry to hear about that @ricardogaldamez209. I have a free course right now, the Top 3 Ways to Master the American Accent. Here's the link: RachelsEnglish.com/free
Ok. Let's take for example the word 'geese': [gis]. Yes, this is different from 'yeast' [jist].
Y is a glide consonant -- there is no stop of sound. It also involves some tongue contact with the hard palate. The [g] sound involves a stop, and the tongue touches the soft palate. They sound different, and they are made differently.
Hi Rachel, thanks for your share. It's so useful.
Can you explain how to pronounce [j] consonant after other consonant as in future, billion, million and how to pronnounce [ŋ] before [g] as in angry?
Yes -- that can be difficult to understand because it is less obvious than a big movement of the tongue or lips. Think of making it with only the contact at the roof of the mouth -- are you able to get a good sound this way? You can also experiment with shifting the very back part of the tongue straight back to make contact with the back of the throat.
rather than lifting the tongue, think of it going straight back. That might help!
Some people make the schwa in 'really' more pronounced, and some people leave it out.
pov your teacher say to wacth the video
thanks
nice vid, thanks
thx
You're welcome!
thnx
You're welcome!
Hi!! I have some problems with this sound but not in all words, just in some like: year or some that begins with "ye" , could you tell me if is there any difference or is it the same sound?
I use DJ to represent the [ʤ] sound -- which is quite different from the [j] sound.
superb, could you plz mention some difference between British and American pronunciation? Is there huge difference?
Thanks
Hello Rachel :D
Thank you so much for those videos I appreciate all your efforts ^_^
I got a question, Do you have any idea why in the phonetic language, the sound "y" is presented by the letter "j"? and not "y"?.. Can you help me? ^_^
Rachel, do you know of any rules to explain when you need to insert a "y" sound before a long u?
Students sometimes say compooter instead of compyuter. pooberty instead of pyuberty. same with abuse, bugle, cue, speculate, regulate, few, huge, human, value, continue and I have a list of 100's. There is also a list of words that don't get a y insertion: jacuzzi, scuba, puma, hula . . . Has someone already published something or come up with any rules?
Is the lips are influenced by the sound comes next the (y) ? I saw sample words that you pronunced
Hi, Rachel. Can the Y sound turn into kind of an /ee/ when it's after d or t?
E.g.: did you? Many times native speakers say that like didja, am I correct? So I thought that maybe /j/ could turn into ee in that case
Thank you so much Miss. Rachel. But it's so difficult for me to pronounce the sound /ju:/ in the words Music, Stupid,.... Can you make a video of the sound /ju:/? Thanks in advance
I don't get the differences between /y/ and /I/. What's the difference. The consistence of air floating out from my throat??
What is the difference between [j] and DJ?
No, these videos I make for free at my own expense. But I do have an online course that students pay for. :)
Have just only one question for you, Rachel. Are you getting paid for doing this pronunciation course?
I can't really see the difference between the Z and the Y sound. Could you make a video on this, please?
Hi Rachel, for the word YEAH, it can be either /jeə/ or /jæə/, right? Please advise. Thanks!
I think that's right! Thought I would say I hear the second one more often.
You are wonderful!!! Could you teach me how to pronounce the following
words: stopped, slept, roped, slipped and wiped? I am confused with /pt/
ending. eg: We stopped and slept for a while. Sometimes when I hear
the native speaker say about those words, I can not hear the /p/, but
only /t/. Is /p/ silent?
I think that's because they unrelease it.
whats the difference between i and j? i think they're very close
I got problem pronounce ɪ and Y[j] can you help me out please
explain criticism please
Hi Rachel, Can we connect the two word 'Did you' by "did3u" ?
+Đinh Văn Dũng I'm not sure what the '3' represents! I would link these words together and they would sound like: 'didju'.
+Rachel's English well, i mean, i read in a book, they recommend a tip that whenever we link letters t and u it would be ch sound, it's like can't you= can chju and for letters d and u, we spell jj for example could you would be could jju. is that correct, Rachel?
+Đinh Văn Dũng Yes, that is correct!
+Rachel's English Now i get the point! thanks for your help!
its way too technical. I dont even get it !
That's pretty impressive. In fact, it's hard to believe that somebody put so much effort in this just to help foreigners to improve their English. Have to mention that these videos what you makes are very well worked out. You must be in love with the English language.
