This was incredible Christine! I really appreciate the fact you put all of this great info into one video because I've always found your way of explaining/describing R-controlled vowels to be the most intuitive & accessible (from an EFL student's point of view). Thank you (always!)
Amazing! Your explanation is very simple and clear to understand for me as Japanese. Could you also explain the difference between 'ear' and 'year'? I would appreciate it.
Hi ma'am, About area word, combridge dictionary gave me two sounds, for example if i set the langauge English-Arabic it gives me this /ˈeər·i·ə/ but when i set only english it gives me this /ˈer.i.ə/ so where is the difference?
@@defabc1169 Yes. There are ONLY 4 diphthongs in GenAm English, /ɛi/ the combination of the short Ee and the long Ee /ɑi/ the combination of the short Oo and the long Ee /oi/ the combination of the long Oo and the long Ee and /ɑu/ the combination of the short Oo and the long Uu as in FOOD. The Rr and Ll can be both consonants and vowels in SSBE, British English. I suggest you don’t learn different IPA symbols, you get more confused 🫤. I suggest using the respelling, like ay ee ahy oh oo ah uh ohy ahw…
1- i didn’t work back then and my dad passed away & it was one of those things where u know ,kind of switch flips & u kinda re-examine life. 2-People forget that on our side of the fence ,it also a job . 3- something I plan to doing and it getting scarier up Could u plz advise the meaning of the(switch flips & on our side of fence & getting scarier up ) ?
Hi ma'am, i just wanna ask you about /e/ in phonetic symbol is very interchangeable for example, - preference /ˈpref.ər.əns/ the e pronounced /ə/ - delegate /ˈdeləɡeit/ both e pronounced /ə/ - chair /tʃer/ e pronounced /eɪ/ my question is when i found e in some dictionary how could i know the real sound?
Hi, I use /ɛ/ for the sound of the first letter E in "preference, delegate." The second letter e is /ə/ and sounds like "uh. I use /er/ for "air." /e/ by itself isn't actually part of English, we only use it in the diphthongs /eɪ/ and /er/. You might want to look at different dictionaries to see how they mark their sounds. Also dictionaries will have a guide to pronunciation symbols to show you what they use for which sounds. Some use /e/ to represent /ɛ/, the vowel in "red."
There are many teachers on TH-cam making videos, none of which can explain as you. Thanks a bunch
Thanks for your support!
Exactly what I was looking for to help the student I am tutoring - thank you so much :)
Glad it was helpful!
every time I come here to watch your videos, my confidence get boosted! I cant thank you enough.
Great! Thanks for watching!
Nice Job. I love when you bring up "R" sounds. American "R" sounds are the biggest enemies of Spanish Speaker.
Thanks, I agree, /r/ is very challenging!

Thank for the feedback, Dana! I appreciate your continued support.

Yes, that's a tough one for a lot of people. Here's my video on "ear" vs. "year:" th-cam.com/video/XDZPb8VwXrY/w-d-xo.html

Teacher, do you have a video about the consonant clusters with the "R" sound?
Hi, here are a couple: th-cam.com/video/vSooJdQNmic/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/onJhLq-KLnE/w-d-xo.html
Always amazing.
I hope comparative and superlative in American pronunciation
Hi, would you like a video for pronouncing the words "comparative" and "superlative?"
@@SpeechModification yes, please 💐
Okay, I can cover them in a future class.
@@SpeechModification
Thanks a bunch 💐
Hi, I'll be covering your words on Tuesday: th-cam.com/video/wXhOwEBOvZ0/w-d-xo.html
Do you have a video of R control vowel
Hi ma'am,
About area word, combridge dictionary gave me two sounds, for example if i set the langauge English-Arabic it gives me this /ˈeər·i·ə/ but when i set only english it gives me this /ˈer.i.ə/ so where is the difference?
I'm not sure how they make those choices, sorry. You could write to someone at the dictionary.
That one !!!
I need help with the air sound
Here's more on that: th-cam.com/video/o9KIIPsQtnw/w-d-xo.html
Does American English have triphthong? What are they?
Hi, yes, /aɪr/, /aʊr/ and /ur/ are sometimes considered triphthongs in American English.
There are NO triphthongs in GenAm English
@@tricky_english really?
@@defabc1169 Yes. There are ONLY 4 diphthongs in GenAm English, /ɛi/ the combination of the short Ee and the long Ee /ɑi/ the combination of the short Oo and the long Ee /oi/ the combination of the long Oo and the long Ee and /ɑu/ the combination of the short Oo and the long Uu as in FOOD.

is ai in air sound like ei in play?
or e in pen? the used symbol is e and the sound is ei
It's /eɪ/ not /ɛ/, but when we have the diphthong "air" we just have /er/.
/e/
You might find this video helpful: th-cam.com/video/o9KIIPsQtnw/w-d-xo.html
The ai in air says /ɛi/ as in rain
Hi ma'am,
i just wanna ask you about /e/ in phonetic symbol is very interchangeable for example,
- preference /ˈpref.ər.əns/ the e pronounced /ə/
- delegate /ˈdeləɡeit/ both e pronounced /ə/
- chair /tʃer/ e pronounced /eɪ/
