It's code mixing I think (and I do the same too by letting it 自然向廣東話靠攏 LOL). Code switching would be, for example, when one alternates between Cantonese and English sentences.
It is not true that consonant clusters (輔音群) do not exist in Cantonese, nor is it true that diphthongs (双元音） do not exist either. You can easily find examples in any Cantonese pronunciation dictionary e.g. 粵音韻彙
英文”learn”字有無意思？“Learn a word”, “learn a language”, 學識，但未必肯講，但係”learn to say thank you”, “learn to live with something”, “learn to change”係唔係強調個動作，一定要做得到？
Thanks! To make a syllable stressed (and stand out from others), the most important thing you can do is to quickly change the pitch: typically from high to low. For 'all', we Cantonese speakers don't usually pronounce it long enough and skip the /l/ at the end and. If you do both, that would help a lot.
It's actually 't+li' unless the /t/ is at the end of a syllable, followed by any consonant, and preceded by a voiceless one. In that case, the /k/ can be omitted. Think 'exactly', 'mostly' and 'postcode'.
@@SimplyVoiceEnglish thanks for ur reply. However, wt i hear clearly from Cambridge online dictionary on the *quietly* from UK pronunciation is that there is a k sound instead of t sound... sry i cannot copy the link here otherwise my cm will be deleted again...
@@ficklenesscal7775 In both BrE and AmE, they sound like a d or so-called flat T to me, before the ly cluster. Maybe it is just some misheard consonant? I believe sometimes the letter T can be a stopped one or even dropped in this case?
Good question. If it's a word-medial position (in the middle of a word) of a multisyllabic word, it can be really hard to tell whether it's /ɪ/ or /ə/, and increasingly in suffixes, /ə/ can be heard in the place of /ɪ/. But in 'enjoy', I would say it's still /ɪ/. Hope it helps.
There is a large number of simple words such as enable, enact, enamo(u)r, encapsulate, enchain, enchant, encipher, encircle, enclose, encompass, encounter, encourage, encroach, encrypt, encumber, encyclopedia, endeavo(u)r,.... that have /en/ as the initial phonetic syllable (corresponding to a careful and slow form), which weakens to /ɪn/ or /ən/ in fast speech (fast form).
Let me show you how to change the pronunciation of people who pronounce as /gem/ to /geɪm/ Open the mouth and pronounce /geɪ/(機會嘅機) loudly. Follow immediately by closing the mouth.
Wowwww.. interesting stuff!! Never knew there's some subtle differences with UK English... I personally have lived in Canada for over 30 years...and it's become natural to me that when you speak to locals, you just gotta somehow talk like them... adopt their flow of English... be subtle with intonations... . can't go wrong!! that just takes decades of constantly listening and adapting if u wanna blend in with the community!!! But apparently in the UK, you are expected to stress on certain syllables a lot... like PEAT-za... LAAOT-te.... SHIT-dule...
I think you'd better learn how to syllabify English vocab before taking up the invidious task of teaching pronunciation online. Let me show you an example has three pronunciations a) /'templeɪt/ b) /'templət/ c) /'templɪt/ They are found in dictionaries which prefer unsyllabified transcriptions. (A major weakness in such dictionaries is that some words have transcriptions susceptible to more than one interpretation. For example, has the unsyllabified transcription /'dʌbəlju:/. It could be interpreted as a) ['dʌ]+[bəl]+[ju:] or b) ['dʌ]+[bə]+[lju:] or c) ['dʌ]+[bəl°]+[°lju:] in which [l]=[l° °l] is ambisyllabic /'templeɪt/ is to be syllabified as ['tem pleɪt] because is bimorphemic, consisting of two morphemes and . On the other hand, /'templət/ is syllabified as ['temp lət], which shows that is regarded as monomorphemic and the first syllable undergoes pre-fortis clipping (/tem/ shortened by /p/ in the syllable /temp/). Reference: Longman Pronunciation Dctionary 3rd edition
The phonetic transcriptions in dictionaries are presented in two forms, slow and fast. In most cases, there is no difference in pronunciation whether the word is spoken slow or fast. However, there are quite a number of words with distinct pronunciations such that the slow form and fast form differ yet the slow form merges into the fast form. Let me give you some examples: 1. secret slow form : ['si: krət] fast form : ['si:k° °krət] 2. disable slow form: /dɪs'eɪbəl/ fast form: /dɪ'seɪbəl/ 3. lumpectomy slow form: /lʌmp'ektəmi/ fast form: /lʌm'pektəmi/ 4. misanthropy slow form: /mɪs'ænθrəpi/ fast form: /mɪ'sænθrəpi/ 5. teacher slow form: ['ti: tʃə] fast form: ['ti:t° °tʃə] 6. pizza slow form: ['pi:t sə] fast form: ['pi:t sə] (no difference, note that the first syllsable is /pi:t/ ) 7. mosquito slow form: [mə'skiː təʊ] fast form: [mə'skiːt° °təʊ]

我覺得當一個英文字出現於香港話𥚃面時，佢已經唔再係一個英文詞語，而係一個近似英文發音啲香港詞語，例如的士，巴士，燕梳⋯⋯呢啲詞彙早期都係以英文出現，最後都變成本土詞語。當然我完全同意使用英語嘅時候須要以正確讀音應對。
True. It would be a bit weird to say 我今日搭bus, but whether code-mixing (mixing words from different languages) is appropriate is debatable.
個人見解:
只用英文時真的要發好音, 盡力減少錯誤
如中英夾雜 (code switching?) 的時候, 就由它自然向廣東話靠攏 好似同化咁 haha
It's code mixing I think (and I do the same too by letting it 自然向廣東話靠攏 LOL). Code switching would be, for example, when one alternates between Cantonese and English sentences.

Both are acceptable but it's more common to stress the first syllable (in both Britain and the US).

好多香港人都唔知道"S"喺vowels之間要變成/z/音: easy, music, laser, cousin, raisin, reason, season, president. 佢哋以為S西人讀返"s"音, 而且無留意西人讀/z/. 開video教教
Not necessary. /s/ can be intervocalic, think 're/s/earch', 'poli/s/y', and 're/s/ent', but I get what you're trying to say.
