      hello cristina how are you my name is alexis, i live in bogota colombia, the truth is i don't speak english fluently, i distinguish some verbs and phrases in english, i've been watching your channel about the i.p.a it's interesting to know the sounds of the vowels in english now I understand why many Spanish-speaking people find pronunciation difficult, I want to send you a warm greeting from Bogota, Colombia...thanks

  • @brainbreaker1128

    Actually it would be great if you do a serie about the vowel IPA sounds.

  • @AnoNymous-dh2sv
    @AnoNymous-dh2sv 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    This is legitimately the absolutely hardest distinction I have ever found, for non-native english speakers with a native language that doesn't pay too much attention to vowel distinctions.
    I knew English gives too much detail on vowels; but this is extreme; btw: other languages don't necessarily make you "shy": it's just that they might not give that much weight to vowels.

    • @mrkirios
      @mrkirios 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Any language should strive for effective and concise communication, and these sounds right here are not contributing towards that idea. These are what I call “word collisions”: Two or more different words with completely different meaning being very close in sound, colliding very easily in pronunciation. This is a serious design flaw and absolute bu||sh1t, and one point (along many more) in favor of why English shouldn’t be the modern lingua franca.

    Thank you so much Kristina, thanks for the time you take to record these kind of videos. This video really helped me to be more aware of how to pronounce these words more English American-like. Well It would be great if you could teach on how to pronounce the 'th' sound in all its possible places in a word and in a sentence. (Any mistake I made writing please correct me)

    I love this video. She makes it so easy to remember the difference between [æ] vs [ɑ]. The [æ] sound (like the 'a' in Spanish). The [ɑ] sound (like we were yawning (round lips)) (We should be able to stick our index finger in between your teeth as she said). Great! Thanks a lot.

    The [æ] vowel actually varies quite a bit in the U.S. and the way Kristina says it might actually be perceived as "ah" by someone from Chicago, for example. Teaching American pronunciation is tricky because there's not just one American accent and there's quite a bit of variation in terms of vowel sounds.

    • @JonatanFTChannel

    Viewers should be warned that while the information in this video applies to General American English, it does not apply to the various accents of British English. For example, in my Scottish accent, "modern" and "father" have different vowels (/ɔ/ and /a/, respectively), with "father" having the same as "cat". In Standard Southern British English, all three have different vowels. (Which I think are /ɔ/, /ɑ/, /æ/. I might have got the exact qualities wrong because it's not my accent, but all three are different.)

      @YhonB13 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Bro, i'm not an expert, but i've learned tath one-syllable words have a vowel in the middle, the vowel usually has a short sound. Examples: cat, dog, man, hat, mom, dad, got. If the letter after the vowel is f, l, or s, this letter is often doubled. Examples: last, staff, ball, pass.
      Sometimes consonants change the sound of vowels.
      I hope it helps you

      The difference is so minuscule and ridiculous that it would be reasonable to discard this nonsense and infer the correct word through context. After all, if you yell "Someone call the cops!" chances are they won't end up calling Starbucks.
