My first language is Spanish, and I have been studying English for about six years now, and I never imagined that this pronunciations had this very specific tone, I didn't say them wrong though, but not perfect either. I really appreciate your work. Pronunciation is definitely hard work and discipline. Thank you very much!
I just wanted to say that your channel is one of the best out there to improve communication skills! I'm Brazilian, living in Germany, and currently learning German - but also improving my English pronunciation and grammar. Your videos are nothing short of amazing, you won't believe how much it helps me, Vielen Dank 💜
@@SpeechModification Hello, shall we work together to teach some Chinese whom r accepted as no.1 student in English learning but she /he can't speak can't communicate in English easily. I have been teaching Chinese languages in English worldwide in the way you are showing here in TH-cam. Pls contact Skype : mandarinedge Mar.18.2021
A teacher told me that I was a conscientious student. I did not get what he meant. I assumed he said that I was a good student. 😏 I was not conscious about it..🤔
Sure, I'd be happy to cover "intuition" in a future video. Here are some words which are similar: tuition: th-cam.com/video/ploiUIJtr2Y/w-d-xo.html intuitive: th-cam.com/video/A-zMFJh91Ok/w-d-xo.html
Hi, yes, as long as the "ch" isn't too pronounced (don't allow it to have a sharp burst of air like you would with a "ch" at the start or end of a word). In some words, when the ch/sh sound is in the middle, it isn't as strong of a distinction between those two sounds.
Yes, here's the origins of the word: Middle English (also in the sense ‘inner thoughts or knowledge’): via Old French from Latin conscientia, from conscient- ‘being privy to’, from the verb conscire, from con- ‘with’ + scire ‘know’.
I am a native cnglish speaker yet I'm having issues saying "conscientious". Kind of embarrassing! I can manage to say it slowed down, but when speaking faster, I trip up.
I think we all have words that trip us up - I suggest practicing it slowed down, then speed up just the word, then practice putting it in some short phrases. The more you do that, the more likely you'll be able to say it smoothly when you need to use it in conversation.
Sorry it's confusing, the difference in sound between ch and sh in these words is very small. It is usually an "sh" sound, but unlike the "sh" at the start or end of a word, when it's in the middle, we say the sound without holding it for a long time, so it can sound like "ch." As long as you aren't using a strong burst of air on a "ch" sound, you can pretty much use either sound in these words.
Yes, in the middle of words when the "sh" sound is after an /n/ or /ŋ/ (ng) sound, it can sound like "ch." In fact, you can't really tell the difference between "ch" and "sh" in these contexts.
Conscious is one of the nicest words to hear, no cap.
I'm from the southern region of Brazil.

Can "conscience" be pronounced with a CH sound=> KAHN-chns?
Hi, yes, as long as the "ch" isn't too pronounced (don't allow it to have a sharp burst of air like you would with a "ch" at the start or end of a word). In some words, when the ch/sh sound is in the middle, it isn't as strong of a distinction between those two sounds.
I Waiting for you.
thank you, but could tell you, why it spelled so hard. is it a part of a French word?
Yes, here's the origins of the word: Middle English (also in the sense ‘inner thoughts or knowledge’): via Old French from Latin conscientia, from conscient- ‘being privy to’, from the verb conscire, from con- ‘with’ + scire ‘know’.
@@SpeechModification ❤
Thank you! Would be happy to learn the pronunciation of " actually"
You teaching helping people across the oceans to learn!

I actually have a video for "actually" already : ) th-cam.com/video/CaozM96AOLk/w-d-xo.html
Thank you. Next time, I will make sure visiting all videos before asking :)
@@sureshkumarramachandran239 feel free to ask, I think it can be hard to find specific videos and I'm happy to post links for you!
could you please learn the pronunciation of " mysterious"?
Good suggestion, I can cover your word in a future video. It sounds like "mih STEER ee us."
@@SpeechModification thank you
Hello Christine ,, this is Moath
Hi Moath, how are you doing? Nice to see you here!

Complicated 🙂
I think you were pronouncing the words with the "ch" sound in the beginning but later on explained they should be "sh" which is making it confusing.
Sorry it's confusing, the difference in sound between ch and sh in these words is very small. It is usually an "sh" sound, but unlike the "sh" at the start or end of a word, when it's in the middle, we say the sound without holding it for a long time, so it can sound like "ch." As long as you aren't using a strong burst of air on a "ch" sound, you can pretty much use either sound in these words.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
asterisk, please
Good suggestion! I can cover it in a future video.
Hi, I covered "asterisk" here: th-cam.com/video/F3bdQceL2TM/w-d-xo.html
These two pronounce extremely similar
Yes, they are very close.
❤️
The pronunciation of the “n+ʃə” sounds like “n+tʃə” ? 🤨
It can be hard to hear the difference, and yes, it might have a little bit of a /tʃ/ sound, but it shouldn't be strong.
You should rename your video tonge twisters.
Thank you
So difficult to pronounce 😅
I will stay conscious to watch
sounds like ch...
Yes, in the middle of words when the "sh" sound is after an /n/ or /ŋ/ (ng) sound, it can sound like "ch." In fact, you can't really tell the difference between "ch" and "sh" in these contexts.
