Definitely! The point about the Intrusive /j/ was incredibly helpful. Many thanks. The word I do struggle with is "singer". I often end up saying "sinner" 😬
My British watercolor instructor says RAW rUmber for the color RAW UMBER. DRAW r ING for drawing. I thought I was hearing things until I read about intrusive sounds. In the US the intrusive R isn’t common I think. The intrusive T seems to be, like in FRAN t CE for France. That happens a lot I believe.
Yes, that's very tipycally British and it must sound very bizarre to Americans. Careful about the intrusive T because I don't think it exists. Since /n/ is nasal and the tongue is in the same position as /t/, you might think it's there, but it's not an extra sound: it's just the tongue
@@EnglogicSam yes, you’re correct, it doesn’t really exist, it’s the tongue that produces something close to the T sound but it isn’t a true T. Thanks for the clarification:)
The example of /ing/ in a song was perfect and helped me a lot! This video should have more likes though... Thanks for sharing and good luck on your channel, mate! All the best!
Thank you for your great comment, Dias! This specific topic is a bit niche and I realised too late I could have found a way to split it into two videos so the amount information wouldn't be too overwhelming; but it's great to hear people find it useful! 😉
Thanks for the video! I've got a question that isn't directly related to it: is it correct to pronounce the EST ending in superlative adjectives with a schwa instead of a short /i/ sound?
That's a very good question! Technically, it should be a short /i/, but because they are very similar and short, we sometimes do end up using a schwa, me included. And in general, a lot of words that have a short /i/ in the dictionary are sometimes pronounced with a schwa. So what I will say (although I probably shouldn't 🙊) is that you can use a schwa, but make sure you make it quick so it's not noticeable
Someone pointed out that I use the "guh" variation like in your "running" example (8:55). Do you know where this variation comes from? Is it technically incorrect? It has become a joke/mock every time I speak... (American, English speaker, developed language skills in Georgia and taught by midwestern parents)
That's a very good question. I'll be completely honest and say that I don't know exactly where it comes from and I have to say that I've never really picked up on it in American accents (at least the ones we get on TV). Here in England it's a fairly typical feature of Northern accents, where they add a very strong sound at the end of the word. Does anyone else in your family do it or is it something that only you have picked up?
I'm going to reach out to my siblings and mother to see if they do as well and let you know. I did 23 and Me a couple years ago and have a predominate UK/Ireland heritage. For what it's worth it identifies the Greater London & Manchester areas for the UK and County Mayo down to Cork for Ireland as places my ancestors are from.
Thanks! In comparatives, superlatives and words that don't derive from another word with final /ŋ/, you need to add a full /g/ after /ŋ/. Every time you say /n/ and /g/ together, /n/ automatically transforms into /ŋ/

I HOPE /ŋ/ HAS BECOME A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO PRONOUNCE NOW!😉💪
@L Andy Thanks!

@@thecuriousone1790 That is indeed a very tricky word to get. Now you can practise with the video💪
OMG, this was the best explanation regarding the differences in pronunciation between /ŋ/ and n. THANK YOU so much!!! I am a fan here. =D
Thank you, Jonas!!!! 🤩🤩🤩

@@amandasanders6020 I see! Those sound like the right ingredients for a 'g' in -ING 😉😜
@@EnglogicSam confirmed my siblings all do it as well
@@amandasanders6020 how interesting! I'm glad my video has triggered this little family tree research 🤩
Great video❤️😄! I just didn't get the one of "the difference between /ŋg/ and/ŋ/🙁?
Thanks! In comparatives, superlatives and words that don't derive from another word with final /ŋ/, you need to add a full /g/ after /ŋ/. Every time you say /n/ and /g/ together, /n/ automatically transforms into /ŋ/
@@EnglogicSam thank you so much😄🥰! Keep up!👏
I love your videos! 🤩
Thank you, Taisia!!!😍
