🎉Great news!🎉 Our brand new Sounds American website is up and running!🚀🎊 There's lots of content on pronunciation.🤓You can start with the article about the /m/ sound: soundsamerican.net/article/consonant_sound_m_as_in_map
great lesson thank so much ......i was studying english for long time but i was prnouncing letters like my language so i had problems making the right sounds and discovering this channel helps me a lot
I have seen lots of videos,it is very interesting and help me improve my pronunciation, i hope in the future we have more video than now, Thanks from Vietnam
Great job! But you've forgotten to do one important thing. What makes American English different than others is the flap t as in words like daddy, matter, letter, letter, stutter. I would appreciate it if you do a video on that sound because you guys explain the sounds in a really great understood way. Thanks!
I'm subscribed for 1 month give or take and there are incredible stuff here that make me study and practice every single day! And man I'm impressed how you break it down! And each video you are making is getting better and better! I'm making progress with it for sure! Thanks for your wonderful job! keep killing it!!
+Jean carlo da silva , thank you! We're glad to hear that you like our content! Happy to hear about your progress, keep practicing! What do you like more in our last videos?
Sounds American well contrasting pairs is great, and I find that every little detail you guys explain is a huge thing because there are some things that I've never had learned before like this last video the "m" sound and another that I did know the sound but I didn't know how to make it, nobody taught me that and I've been learning English for 2 years! I just wonder if you could post more videos frequently! Man believe me this is such a great job!! keep doing what are you doing! and thank you so much!
+Jean carlo da silva , got you! Thanks! At the moment we're focusing on getting ready for the app release, which will make the practice more convenient, efficient and fun, so we aren't able to make and post our videos more often. We'll do our best, still! :)
Hey, Benjamin Franklin never watched any video, friend. That was a Great Joke!!! ...... ....... Honestly, now while I am studying your videos, I am looking at the translation problem. Wow, I love that, it is a great project. Very intense, I love it.
+jade good , you're welcome! Yes, we'll post such a video as well as videos for other stop sounds. This is a huge topic so we need to invest more time into preparation. Please, stay tuned!
Hello there! ^^ Thank you again! I have a question concerning the typical mistake 3: in the other 2 nasal sounds ('n' in 'can' and 'ng' in 'long'), is it important not to distort the precending vowel too? I already watched the corresponding videos and nothing is said about it. This is specially important to me because I am a portuguese native speaker, and that kind of "distortion" is done all the time before any nasal consonant.
+Allan Eduardo Hello there! :) You're very perceptive and you are correct! All the nasal sounds tend to affect the pronunciation of preceding vowels - it's called "nasalization." This can more troublesome for native speakers of certain languages and it tends to distort tense vowels more so than relaxed ones (the tense vowels get distorted so that they sound like the relaxed vowels). To make sure that you pronounce these vowels correctly before the nasal sounds, first, say the word/syllable WITHOUT the nasal sound - just remove it. This way you'll be able to hear what the vowel should sound like, without the nasalization. Then add the nasal sound back after the vowel. When you make the vowel this time, try to make it fully, without reducing it, and do not relax it before making the following consonant. It also needs to be long, as the nasals are voiced consonant sounds so they make the vowels before them longer. Hope this helps, thanks!
+SEONGHOON DO , hello there! You're welcome! Yes, we used an app. It's our own app, it's not publicly available yet, but we plan to release it soon. We'll announce the release on this channel, so make sure you're subscribed to receive a notification! Stay tuned!
Hey, I'm having a difficult time to pronounce the vowel sound ' æ ' when it is followed by nasal consonant. It does not sound like a pure æ sound. So would you make a video on that topic, please? That sound is baffling for many non native students in my opinion. Thank you 🌹
You're right, the /æ/ sound is slightly different when it's followed by nasal consonants. When you pronounce words like "band," "bank," and "camp," your mouth can be opened less wide and your tongue can be placed a little higher. Be careful though, there's still a difference between the /æ/ and /ɛ/ sounds even when they are followed by nasals (compare: "man" and "men"). Rachel has a great video on this topic: th-cam.com/video/GxGWdoau7vc/w-d-xo.html
@@SoundsAmerican Thank you, I do see Rachel's video, she's an amazing teacher up here on TH-cam. I saw the video but i got bemused, but I'm working on it. Thank you soo much sir ❤. You are wonderful
Great point! There's a subtle, but quite noticeable difference between the American /m/ and the Russian /m/ sounds. Phonetically speaking, these are allophones (different variants of the same sound). In both languages we block the airflow with our lips, that's true. The difference is in what happens next 😉: In Russian you push your lips apart releasing the airflow through your mouth and your nose. In English you direct the airflow through your nose and only them push your lips apart. If you listen to the examples in our article really close you'll hear the difference: soundsamerican.net/article/consonant_sound_m_as_in_map#pronunciation_exercise_for_the_m_sound

Hey, would you consider to cover higher level topics such as word stress, sentence level stress, and intonation in the future? :))

Many Spanish speakers pronounce the letter m at the end of a word like a n, except if the following word starts with a p or b

Don't push yourself too hard! The difference is so subtle, it'll hardly affect your accent.
@@SoundsAmerican thank you soo much sir for letting me know about that 🙌
I’ve heard that m is nasal in American. But that nasal. Like everytime. In Russian, I say it with my lips like Bb

I heard the schwa sound have many ways to speak Can you make a vid about that Thank u and sorry if it have some grammar mistakes😛
Here you go: th-cam.com/video/m1mDSUSwNls/w-d-xo.html
Sounds American thank you but i mean that it has 5 to 7 ways to pronounce the schwa sound did you know that? I just heard from a native teacher but he didn't say detail😅
Thanks! I am surprised m is pronounced with the lips in contact. I assume there is no voice involvement to pronouncing this sound.
Yes, the /m/ is pronounced with your mouth closed. It's a voiced sound, so you have to vibrate your vocal cords.
Thank you so much.
Thank you!
Thank you!
