Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your lessons are clear and easy to follow. As a native Spanish speaker I used to mispronounce the "r" as it is depicted as /r/ instead of /ɹ/ in some broad transcriptions. Even when they are two different sounds (voiceless alveolar trill vs voiced post-alveolar approximant).
Thank you very much for your video, your way of explaining is very clear that I could understand very well the production of approximant sounds. An other important rule is that these approximant sounds become devoiced and a little bit frective when they are preceded by an aspirated sound, so they lose the quality of being approximant.
Mashallah .. Maam you are very talented. I really appreciated from your lecture because you can explain it in easy method and we can understand easily..
Hi: Thank you very much, this lesson has been very useful to me, thank you very very very....ect much again, I hope you continue your coming lessons with same level.
American English has many instances of syllabic /r/, where the vowel signaled in writing goes unarticulated in favor of the postalveolar approximant /r/: word, hurt, turn, first. There are also some instances of syllabic /l/.
May I add this--beside letting the air passing on the sides of the tongue, the actual sound vibration is focused on the tip of the tongue and the alevolar ridge.
Yes, it's true that Spanish speakers often pronounce the /r/ a bit strong, but don't worry too much about it. People will still understand you very well most probably. Sounds that are really important to get right for Spanish speakers are the difference between long and short vowel sounds because this can lead to great confusion when words are mispronounced.
@@BillieEnglish thanks for your answer! It's true, some vowels are really difficult for us. Specially the lax ones because in Spanish all vowels are tense. Also central vowels are mi nigthmare! I'm still learning to produce them. I'll continue watching your videos :)
❤❤❤❤ Hi mam I love you from India.....Thanks alot for your hard work ,I really appreciate you I guessed all word correctly except one , because I miss his pronunciation when you speaking Your are my primary teacher ❤ and love you again ❤️
Hello Brayden! Thank you for your question. No, the /f/ should not be missing. I was experimenting with background noise cancellation on my mic because I live in noisy Barcelona and finding a time to film when it's quiet is a challenge - HOWEVER, in this video it seems the cancellation cut off the /f/ sound too :-( I am very sorry about that! I have since changed my mic to avoid this from happening again.
Coincidence, I don't know, but the word "Learn" has the two approximants "L" and "R" very closed. It its difficult for me in this case to pronounce it.
Hey! Great video but I have a doubt? I hope you can find time to answer it. As per the definition, there should be no contact when it comes to approximants. However, /l/ has the contact so why do we consider it as an approximant?
Another great question - you are really interesting in getting to grips with phonology! I love that! 👍💛 Ok, so ... by definition it's not quite correct that with approximants the articulators don't touch - because in some sounds they do (e.g. /l/)! The main point is that when they come close (or touch), there is *no* air friction, like there would be with fricatives (e.g. /f/, /s/, /z/ etc.) So they are kind of in between fricatives and vowel sounds. I hope this helps - but keep those questions coming!

Voicing is when your vocal cords vibrates, devoicing is when you make the same phonemes but without vibrating your vocal cords, you use ° when there isn't a symbol for the unvoiced phoneme

Thank you for your clear and comprehensible pronunciation. I find it quite helpful as an ESL Educator, and Phonology Student at Grad School level.
Amazing, amazing!!! Thank you so much, Billie, your lesson helped me so so much!
Thanks, teacher your class has been an amazing experience, greetings.
Impressive, Thanks a lot for all your great efforts teacher Billie! Wishing you all the best! Dr. Salaheldin

Thank you for your wonderful videos! Giving me a lot of help with my Delta.

I have a quiz tomorrow and i did not know anything about approximant, until i came here tnx alot❤❤
The /r/ sound is so difficult for Spanish speakers! We produce it touching the alveolar ridge and it sounds stronger
Yes, it's true that Spanish speakers often pronounce the /r/ a bit strong, but don't worry too much about it. People will still understand you very well most probably. Sounds that are really important to get right for Spanish speakers are the difference between long and short vowel sounds because this can lead to great confusion when words are mispronounced.

I'm a Sierra Leonean and I do enjoy every bit of your lecture.
Can you be my friend?
Thank you so much!
just would like to confirm the pronunciation of fry. Is it common to pronounce like missing 'f' consonant at 19:07?
Hello Brayden! Thank you for your question. No, the /f/ should not be missing.

@@BillieEnglishThank you for your reply and effort!
Thank you soo muuchhh❤❤
In American English, ‘r’ is a Post Alveolar Continuant Fricative n ‘l’ is Alveolar Continuant Lateral. Am I right?
They are syllabic, just not as a rule in English. There are other languages that use l and r as the nucleus.
Keep up ❤
How we will improve phonetics transcription
Thank you Ms.
You are so welcome!
The song is rolling in the deep
Hi! I'm George. My English teacher called this l ( in final position) " metall l " Why?
Coincidence, I don't know, but the word "Learn" has the two approximants "L" and "R" very closed. It its difficult for me in this case to pronounce it.
Actually, it only contains /l/, the R joins with the preceding vowel and makes it long: /lɜːn/
Hi I need help with my r’s
Superb!!
What about light and dark L?
Please.
Hi John! I've got a video on light & dark l on my channel 😊. Have a look!
Hey! Great video but I have a doubt? I hope you can find time to answer it. As per the definition, there should be no contact when it comes to approximants. However, /l/ has the contact so why do we consider it as an approximant?

Me being a daydreamer: ROLLING IN THE DEEP WE COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL
❤Thanks
I got all correct 👍
Congratulations!
Thank you, ma'am! 😊
You're welcome 😊
Hello,
Thank you for the video again, R and L also belong to a family called "liquids" right?

Devoicing is what ??? Plz and when we put small symbol°
Voicing is when your vocal cords vibrates, devoicing is when you make the same phonemes but without vibrating your vocal cords, you use ° when there isn't a symbol for the unvoiced phoneme
Thanks mam
