      If you transcripts the example words and highlights the sounds that would be more helpful to connect, and when your introducing the Monomthong please highlight the single sound that your talking..when you mark all of them and describing its hard for me to follow, to know which one you are talking at that time.

    I'm a General American speaker, and we have 13 pure vowels.
    Our extra sound is called the Close-mid front unrounded vowel. It is used in words like May, Day, Stay, and Lay.
    I found that 7 vowels are identical between the accents. I'll list words for the 5 examples where Received Pronunciation uses sounds that we don't.

    Bird
    Yawn

    Dear Madam,
    I am incredibly grateful for the wonderful video you shared. Your dedication to teaching is truly inspiring, and I wanted to express my heartfelt thanks. I have learned so much from your guidance, and it has been an enlightening experience.
    I do have a small suggestion, which I hope you will consider with your vast knowledge and expertise. It would be immensely helpful if you could include a word for the "^" IPA symbol. I noticed that in the video, you covered 12 vowel sounds, but there were only 11 examples provided. Additionally, I observed that the symbol "e" was labeled as Open-Mid in the video, while on the IPA chart, it is categorized as Closed-Mid. I bring this up with the utmost respect for your expertise and to ensure the accuracy of the information.
    Once again, I want to emphasize my gratitude for your teachings. Your ability to convey information in a calm, composed, and soul-touching manner is truly remarkable, and I aspire to speak as eloquently as you do. I have gained a wealth of knowledge from your lessons, and I am eager to continue learning from you in the future.
    Thank you for your time and for sharing your expertise with all of us.

    • @BillieEnglish
      @BillieEnglish  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello! Thank you for your comment & for watching! I am happy to hear the video was helpful. Yes, I realised afterwards that I forgot one sound and added this plus and example in the description text below. For the sound /ʌ/ the example word is 'fun' :-)
      In this video I use the symbols of the Adrian Underhill chart and not the IPA. There is one little difference in the use of symbols, in that what I call /e/, the IPA calls /ɛ/ instead. I have a video on the charts and their differences on my channel if you'd like to find out more.

    Thank you for an awesome video! I've been searching the vowel quadrilateral on the internet and found each teacher positioned some of the sounds differently in a quadrilateral although they all say it's the way of RP British English. I am so confusing as none of the British teachers have the exactly same chart. Where can I get the official tongue position for each sound of RP British English ?

    • @BillieEnglish
      @BillieEnglish  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hello gg! Thank you for your comment and question. The problem is that there is not really ONE chart everyone uses! I use the symbols the majority of English course books use that teach British English (mostly from British publishers) as they all tend to use the same symbols and so this is the easiest for my students. For example, the popular course book English File.
      However, the International Phonetic Association who created the IPA (= International phonetic Alphabet) with the sound symbols has a vowel chart that many books and institutions use. You can see it here: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:RP_vowel_chart_(monophthongs).gif
      I recommend you decide for which purpose you use the chart and then find out what the standard chart is in that field. For example, if you study linguistics at university, which chart to they use and recommend? etc.
      I hope this helps and you are less confused now :-)
