My teachers really wasted my time for over 27 years teaching me english without these cool stuffs in these video, the end result, I suffered pronunciation forever. Thank very much for these video, I will correct my accent!
You can pick any sound you want you just need to listen and repeat a lot. I learned to distinguish and pronounce all the sounds of the Arabic and Chinese languages (+ the 5 mandarin tones). Both of these languages, especially Arabic, include consonant and vowel sounds that are uncommon in most other languages.
I can say only^WOW!^ Thank u guys,u r so cool and helped me so much. the most important thing that it was really intresting, even gripping. I was reapiting every sound after u
I think you would also need to go over the voiceless unaspirated stops in English, which are allophones of their aspirated counterparts after /s/: spill, still, skill.
Bonjour, j’ai déjà appris la transcription phonétique américaine, mais je ne retrouvais pas les signes indiqués dans les mots comme : snake (que signifie la demi-lune en dessous de la I et après le ke que signifie le h?) de plus, dans nail (que signifie le signe ajouté sur le l?) et pourquoi le r comme dans le mot zebra (le r est indiqué à l’envers). Je vous remercie d’avoir fait une vidéo sur ce sujet si important et j’ai très hâte de recevoir une réponse de votre part pour m’expliquer les choses que je ne comprends pas. Merci et bonne journée! 🇨🇦Linda
I am having problem with dental consonants. What to do? When I try to pronounce "Think" while placing tip of the tongue between teeth, it still sounds like "s" and the pronunciation sounds like "Sink" instead of "Think" Can Someone please help me?
It is important to keep in mind the position of your tongue while learning these sounds so that you can learn the proper pronunciation. Try to place your tongue as close to the position indicated in the video as you practice, and the more you do it, the easier the pronunciation will become over time.
@@FluentForeverApp Thank you for your reply. Where exactly is the alveolar ridge tho? it is ok as long as you don't touch the front teeth? os is it literally right behind the upper front teeth?
The alveolar ridge is right behind your teeth at both the top and bottom of your jaw. However, in the examples shown in this video, we are referring to the alveolar ridge at the top of your jaw for the T, D, and L sounds.
@@FluentForeverApp so it is not really right behind the upper teeth tho. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_of_articulation#/media/File:Places_of_articulation.svg is it somewhere between no.4 and no.5 in this picture? or is it between no.3 or no.4 not touching the teeth obviously. Can you please help I have been really trying to find the answer to this :(
Hi, many thanks for the video! they are extremely helpful! Just get a bit confused about s,z and t,d,n tongue position. Are they all have the same tongue position or t,d,n are slightly behind than s,z?
great lesson but I would say r sound is not close to l, considering that the mouth is small you may say same "section" but really L once you say it you tip of the tongue rest on the 2 front teeth.. that how far it is from are, while the r is considerably ,given mouth size, lower in the med section after the curve , the ceiling of the mouth and the tongue is cuRved dramatically as if almost you are making a half ciRcle say this word cuRve and notice the difference now notice both letter in this word ReLate or LaRd see how your tongue move from the R to the L , the distance is huge given the size of the interior of the mouth.. Just to help others on that points.. your thought? I taught Spanish and English diction though I an neither native of both languages. But love your pronunciation which American accent you are using here? thanks have a nice day
That is correct, but while you're doing it notice where your tongue touches. It should touch your alveolar ridge just behind your upper front teeth. Also, you don't need to press your teeth firmly for the sound to come out right.
Your teeth maybe shouldn’t touch but be close together. The tongue should be able to make a little whistling sound just behind the top teeth when it’s in the right position. Obviously, you won’t want to whistle while you speak. ;-)

Unfortunately, there's a heavy emphasis on vocabulary over pronunciation in language learning, but the opposite should be prioritized. Effective communication relies on being understood, which starts with clear pronunciation. Often, teachers aren't specialized in pronunciation training, which leads to gaps in students' speaking abilities. Now that I’m in the U.S., I see firsthand how essential pronunciation is. Before expanding vocabulary, it’s critical to focus on understanding and being understood.
Thanks for sharing! That's exactly why step 1 of our four-step method begins with "learn pronunciation". :) We agree that starting with this is essential :)
I wonder where the practical application for this comes in one’s personal life. Because no Americans actually speak using a “General American” accent. All of us Americans are regionalized in some way. You’re only going to find news anchors using General in any practical way. And when we DO use General personally, we’re probably telling a joke, or being sarcastic about something.
Sorry about the issues you're experiencing reading the captions. The only text in the video is in black - are the subtitles you're seeing the ones provided by TH-cam? You should be able to edit the appearance of these in your TH-cam video settings (the cogwheel at the bottom of the video). Hope this helps!

How's your accent now? I suffer from pronunciation too because of bad education
one of the rare videos on TH-cam that explains the differences between same consonants in English (American) compared to other languages.
Thanks so much, Fatah!

I swear, this is the most exciting and amuse video I have seen in a while. Thanks so much for this, my mind is blown.
I'm so glad I learned the English R as a child. I have no idea how people pick it up as a non-native speaker
We can’t 😭

hmm where exactly is the alveolar ridge tho? can your tongue touch right behind the upper teeth as long as it doesn't touch the teeth?
I thank you for the kind
Is there an aspiration on the [f] sound when the word begins with f (example the word 'fake')?
More videos please..thank u.
Great!
Thank you
I am having problem with dental consonants. What to do?
When I try to pronounce "Think" while placing tip of the tongue between teeth, it still sounds like "s" and the pronunciation sounds like "Sink" instead of "Think"
Can Someone please help me?
Thank you!
You didn't say anything about the second variant of pronunciation r sound, when your tongue goes up and its end goes backward
Do you have to touch the alveolar ridge with your tongue tip for t n d and L sounds?
It is important to keep in mind the position of your tongue while learning these sounds so that you can learn the proper pronunciation.

Hi John! The upper alveolar ridge is located between numbers 4 and 5 in the picture you sent. We hope this helps!

There are a lot of Chinese people who can't tell the differences between /n/ and /l/. Could you explain that two differences?
n is nasalised so if you blocked your nose you wouldnt be able to make the sound
l is not nasalised and the back of the tongue is more down
Any video for British RP?

I usually make the "s" sound by pressing firmly the upper and lower teeth, then blowing the air out. Is it okay?
That is correct, but while you're doing it notice where your tongue touches. It should touch your alveolar ridge just behind your upper front teeth. Also, you don't need to press your teeth firmly for the sound to come out right.
