Hello Tim. I'm from Colombia, I'm learning english, and these tips really helps me to improve my english and have a good pronunciation. I like your videos. keep doing it. Thanks for your time to us. (**Sorry If I made a mistake**)
Thanks a lot Tim for these valuable lessons. I appreciate your work & those who are behind the camera for the effort they are putting out to help us learn in a pleasing, unique way. You're all making speaking English seems much easier & an enjoyable thing to practice. But, please, would you be more careful. Your accidents are terrible & really can stay in our minds. I do really feel bad. You are a great teacher. I aspire to be a unique English teacher just like you someday, so wish me luck ✌ 👀.
Why Tim always got something bad in the end of video? Please be nice to him :)

Love this site! I get too annoyed at American media narrators pronouncing words like 'word' as 'wert'. I know i t's MY issue but it just annoys me . Thanks for the upload.
sometimes I get confused because we have to make a difference between simple past and simple present.. and in those moments the difference is in the /d/ sound.. how could we do with them "I use that" sounds like "I used that"
I love this video, however, I'm wondering that how can we distinguish the past tense and the simple tense, sometimes in a passive sentence if the 'd' or 'ed' sound disappear? Thanks in advance!
Hey BBC Learning English, great job you're doing here ! I'm really happy because my English have improved, has taken off really fast and know I understand better. Here Tim is talking about the d sound between consonants, but what about the T ? I mean saying phrases like " He helpED me " I think it doesn't sound natural, "I watchED the episode yesterday... " the same happens with the word "Asked". Is there any article about this? or have you done a video/article about this before? if you did please I want to check it out ! Thanks beforehand. Keep helping millions of people in the world with these lessons :D have a "g'day"
Thanks BallisticaMetal. The pronunciation of the ed ending in regular past simple verbs changes according to the sound that comes before it. You can find out more here: www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/radio/specials/1413_gramchallenge26/
Thanks ! but I knew that already, maybe I didn't explain well, I meant, is there a rule or something where the "T" sound dissapears? In this video Tim explains how the D sound can be "silence" " Boiled potatoes" is like "Boil potatoes" but is there one with the T sound ? Sometimes there're words really hard to pronounce and I think to myself :there must be a kind of elision with phrases like " He HelpED me " " I watchED him go " does the T sound link with the word HIM? making it like "I watch (t)im go ? " that's my question, sorry for not been able to explain it better before.
Hi Tim. I have a little question. Is there only the sound /d/ disappearing when it stands between two consonants? (What happens with other sounds like /t/, /p/,/b/, /k/, /g/, etc. whem them stand between two consonants?) Thank you!!
Thank you so much! I have another question. I have struggled when I attempt to speak out /D/ and /T/ sound at the end, for example, I'd, boiled, loved and so on. How do you differ between verb present tense and verb past tense if the ending sound /D/ or /T/ is disappear?
thanks Tim for the lesson. I noticed that when the word steamed are pronounced ed gets disappeared but eam is long pronounced. doesn't it? and for learners, how about tongue's location at the top in the mouth without making a sound? have a good day.
Hi jin oung lee. The pronunciation of the ed ending in past tense verbs changes according to the sound which comes before it. You can find out more here: www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/radio/specials/1413_gramchallenge26/ I’m not sure I understand your question about the tongue’s position.
We nonnative always have very trouble about staccatos like "b" in the words obtain, obvious, or "p" in the word symptom, advice,..... .if you have time, please make a video to help us pronounce them.
what about /s/ after /θ/ as in "both sides". It's incredibly hard for me to pronounce it and I assume for native speakers it is too. How is this phrase supposed to be pronounced? "boaf sides"? "bow sides"?
HI,I visited your webside,I found a mistake,hope you change,the question is in The elision of /d/ game , Question NO 5, the speaker says:She's bound to find something soon.in the sound ,are you sure the word" find" with /d/ sound? I can't hear /d/ sound clearly.the result of the answer tell me "Sorry, that's wrong. There is an example of this type of elision in 'bound to'. threr is another question ,Tim says:"It’s very difficult to say /d/ when it comes in between two other consonants".in "Did the train leave?", vowel/i/ sound is before /d/,/ð/ is after /d/,but why I heard" Di? the train leave"? help me ,thank you very much.
But when i hear the sound d at the end of some words , i see they pronounce it simple but i cant imitate it. Im used to pronouncing it like t sound because everytime i try to make it right, its really unnatural and hard.
could ad can give me some information about the second person say:'' I prefer boiled potatoes? the guy is wearing a white t-shirt with hairy beard, especially very very very handsome with attractive eyes.
I really enjoy watching these videos, but my English teacher told us to pronounce ALL the /d/ sounds so the listeners will understand the whole sentence clearly. In fact, it is unnatural for me and it sounds weird.
English is waaaaay to practical and lazy, maybe is that why all english speaking countries rule the world? Because they don't waist too much energy whilst speaking

@@BallisticaMetal, Hi, I have the same problem as you, I wonder if you already solved it
Thank you BBC, It was very useful. I think Tim shouldn´t use tools or cookware.
Thanks for this vidieo
Hi Tim. I have a little question. Is there only the sound /d/ disappearing when it stands between two consonants? (What happens with other sounds like /t/, /p/,/b/, /k/, /g/, etc. whem them stand between two consonants?) Thank you!!
Thanks ❤️
thanks a lot that's really helped me 😊
Hello, can you tell me if the D sound can be omitted when you say "You've saved me", please
Thanks a lot
Great pronunciation tips. It's funny that Tim always ends with something ominous like cutting his figure lol
Super awesome, thank you.
Thank you so much! I have another question. I have struggled when I attempt to speak out /D/ and /T/ sound at the end, for example, I'd, boiled, loved and so on. How do you differ between verb present tense and verb past tense if the ending sound /D/ or /T/ is disappear?
I think the context helps listener determines which tense and when your action occurs
thanks Tim for the lesson.
I noticed that when the word steamed are pronounced
ed gets disappeared
but eam is long pronounced.
doesn't it?
and for learners,
how about tongue's location at the top in the mouth without making a sound?
have a good day.

it's helpful
it only for british english ?
HI,I visited your webside,I found a mistake,hope you change,the question is in The elision of /d/ game
, Question NO 5, the speaker says:She's bound to find something soon.in the sound ,are you sure the word" find" with /d/ sound? I can't hear /d/ sound clearly.the result of the answer tell me "Sorry, that's wrong. There is an example of this type of elision in 'bound to'. threr is another question ,Tim says:"It’s very difficult to say /d/ when it comes in between two other consonants".in "Did the train leave?", vowel/i/ sound is before /d/,/ð/ is after /d/,but why I heard" Di? the train leave"? help me ,thank you very much.
How can reconize the past form if dont say /d/
But when i hear the sound d at the end of some words , i see they pronounce it simple but i cant imitate it. Im used to pronouncing it like t sound because everytime i try to make it right, its really unnatural and hard.
is there elision in that sentence " Tag me down ?
Wrong, we place the tongue in the same area for D, we just don't puff the air at the end of the word/make it plosive.
Can I get his full name, please?
Where's Tim now?
could ad can give me some information about the second person say:'' I prefer boiled potatoes? the guy is wearing a white t-shirt with hairy beard, especially very very very handsome with attractive eyes.
But how come do you realize it's a past sentence and not a present sentence.
Sorry If I made a mistake*
I learn many cool think from bbc learning english is not it perfect
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I really enjoy watching these videos, but my English teacher told us to pronounce ALL the /d/ sounds so the listeners will understand the whole sentence clearly. In fact, it is unnatural for me and it sounds weird.
I prefer boiled potato myself!
🥰❤️❤️
there are no more ambulances, sorry😂💔

OMG, he is so handsome
I only watch it for situational humour
1:15 Ese wey habla del culo si no estuvieran los subtitulos no le entenderia nada
hot and useful
Please teach English (Londoners?) people how to say "potatoes".
He constantly hurts himself! At least at three videos already!
