Hi @44nina44 - Thanks for your question! I hear French placement to be more forward, at the lips, so yes it's at the front of the mouth but it's more open than how I demonstrated it in the video. I hope this helps! :)
“Teacher, I have a strange question. I noticed that there's an 'H' next to the sounds /ɪ/ (ih) and /ɛ/ (eh) when they're explained. Is that 'H' pronounced?"
Hi @Hwert12_uyn - Thanks for your question! No, the "h" isn't pronounced. I use the "h" just in the phonetic spelling of those sounds ("ih" and "eh"), but you don't actually pronounce an /h/. I hope this helps! :)
Are you using some background noise remover filter in your audio? Your voice quality just sounds different like it’s been filtered multiple times to make it clear by removing the unwanted noise.
Hi @contudo7547 - Yes, I couldn't agree with you more! Her voice was iconic, and I definitely grew up listening to her music :) Thanks for your comment!
That’s spot on. Last week, I overheard a girl who doesn't speak English, but she still sounded like a native English speaker while speaking Spanish. Even though I know she doesn’t speak English at all, I couldn’t help but feel a little jealous. It’s the way she spoke-her sounds had a more American vibe. Some people just naturally produce sounds in a more American way, even in another language
Hi @luchodelgado8486 - Thanks so much for your comment! I agree with you - some people are skilled at imitating sounds and producing them in a certain way or with a certain tone, while other people struggle to imitate something. In my experience, people who are musically inclined or who are singers tend to have better "ears" for imitating sounds and voices, but it's a skill that anyone can improve! :)
Hi @flavio888 - Thanks for your question! I describe the Flap T as a quick D sound, and to me that also feels like one roll of the Spanish R, like in the word "pero". There might be slight differences in how the flap in "butter" is pronounced compared to the flap in "pero", but to me, they feel nearly identical. You can learn more about the Flap T in American English if you check out the Consonants and the Linking and Connected Speech playlists on my channel. Good luck! :)

7:70 hi, I'm wondering, if the front of the mouth isn't the French placement, where is it placed?

Hi @MrSamM24 - Yes, I do some cleaning up of the background noise when I edit my videos :)
Whitney Houston had a great voice. Her version of "I will always love you." ❤

Hi. is flap t like one roll of Spanish rolled r or like a fast d. I think its more d than spanish r ? Can you compare them in a video. Thanks

@@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent In word " editing " when i say by flap T is different than rolled R in sound
@@flavio888 Yes, that's correct. The word "editing" has flaps in it, not a rolled R. :)
