i've been studying English for one year and this VOWEL lesson is the best one I have.

simple and inteligent.

[alexio210]

As it is funny, it is twice good. Well done!

[Babygirl14x]

This is so helpful. Thank you!

[BaoNawazish]

Mr. Joe you said that; U offers only one sound, so how you'll make differ in (BUT and PUT) whereas, its gigantic differ in both words pronunciation.

[teacherjoedeveto]

@BaoNawazish

"Put" is quite a special case. I did not try to teach every possible spelling for every sound. If I tried to teach every possible spelling in English. this video would be too long for You Tube. My main goal is for students to learn the sounds that vowels can make. The vowel in "put" is the same as the vowel in "book" or "good". If you can pronounce "book" or "good", then you can pronounce "put" too!

@teacherjoedeveto

good!

[romeas100]

@teacherjoedeveto You are great teacher... I would like to know the pronunciation of the word "JOB" thanks so much...

[juana343]

Dear Teacher

I am a teacher from Argentina who uses your videos to teach pronunciation in her English lessons. I find them so much useful. Thank you for sharing them on Youtube. Can you recommend a book on Photenic pedagogy ? Cheers, Stella

[gjjjgjjj1]

great work keep it ^_*

[JakubCzep]

cool

[DjFerni07]

Excellent

[Leochristianb]

Hello Joe, I have a question for you...is there any difference between the "o" sound in COP and the "a" sound in FALL? Cause I saw an American teacher saying that there's no difference between these 2 sounds. Thanks for your help. GOD BLESS YOU.

[baigandine]

@Leochristianb Those are different sounds (the vowel in "fall" and "cop"). However not all Americans distinguish them. On the Pacific coast they don't distinguish them. Where I am from, the Northeast, we do. The English distinguish them.

[Leochristianb]

@baigandine thank u so much...

[django7alfonzas]

Good vid. I'll be using it with some of my students.

[MrShark2011]

The American pronunciation/accent is beautiful, and this beauty comes mostly from the vowel sounds, absent in other languages. Thanks for your videos. :-)

[MrShark2011]

I have extreme problems with the 3rd vowel, like in "draw", "all", etc. I'm a Pole and to me it sounds like "oa" but I know I should generate only one sound. It's hard to pronounce, not to mention keeping it stable in more complicated words.

[foxgraund]

omg very good professor joe!! this is my first year in the university and I study English teacher, is very hard but this video help me much!!

[supersonica]

[karenciitaromero]

Thank you =)

[VeLO26Japan]

Thank you!

[starostaback]

like this introduction 0:16)))))))))

[Forsure3333]

I like the "A" as in cat. Look at the tip of the tongue that touches the bottom teeth. In French, the tongue stays almost completely loose, so it sounds very different.

[blubliblue]

woow I had so many difficulties with phonology and then I learn in 3 minutes what I did not learn in 3 years :) just kidding!!!

Gracias Joe!

I subscribed :)

[Dinotako]

Useful video. Teacher ! I have problem with the word "want" and "one". Can u speak 2 those words for me ?

[ThaSchwab]

"Want" = "Wunt" or "Wahnt," if you can pronounce those.

"One" = "Wun." "One" is an odd word in the English language, believe it or not, because the 'o' isn't pronounced as one.

[ZnBangash]

@ThaSchwab

Thanks for the clarification

[hohayoo]

i know the meaning of all of these words , but it was really so Hard lesson to pronounce anyway thanks a lot dear teacher

[YLorena08]

Hello Mr. teacher ...Iwant to ask you, if you already post any vids with idioms and some tips how i can understand better any conversation....I will appreciatte that..

[AnnInApril]

Hey thanks, joe! as an ESL student, i have been struggling to pronounce english vowels correctly, yet without much success. but this seems an ultimate answer to my long sufferings. i'm already looking forward to your future postings. =)

[gongfubaby]

Thank you very very much!!!

you are so kind!!!!!!!

[gongfubaby]

i like your vidio .especially the sentence you said ,"then you can pronounce any word ,when you are reading"

could you tell me about vowels schwa.

and what situiation the vowes will be made a schwa sound.

thanks

[teacherjoedeveto]

You can Google "schwa" to learn more, but it is quite complex - even many experts do not agree on what is a schwa sound and what isn't. I want my students to learn it naturally rather than analyze too much. Try watching my videos on rhythm and intonation. When you learn to speak English naturally, you will start to pronounce the schwa sound without even thinking about it!

[Thorgils1]

AH It's really interesting this video, I've been living in Italy for 18 years , but now I 'm going to move in England... I never been there before.

I would like to have a good pronunce and I'm looking out for..

Ths for posting these videos

bye

[iTaLy0saudi]

thank you m.r joe

[HeissonGonzalez]

thank you teacher joe

[vChilem]

Excellent lesson Joe!. It's the firs time a got a clear explanation of english vowels.

[teacherjoedeveto]

Actually, when I teach I start off by exaggerating, then work up to more natural pronunciation. (Today in Pronunciation Class we worked on "Moses supposes his toeses are roses, but Moses supposes erroneously"!) With vowels, students need to focus on each individual sound, so they should be pronounced as clearly as possible.

Also, this was my first video, so I don't think I was as relaxed as I should have been!

[thirtysilver]

It's interesting watching this as a native English speaker. Of course, you pronounce everything very clearly and in an exaggerated manner. That must be what instructors who teach foreign languages to English speakers do, as well.

[maquito2007]

thks Joe, could you use mimimal pairs to make more enphasis in the sounds.

thank

Teacher Marco from Peru

[teacherjoedeveto]

Interesting idea Marco! It might take a bit of work to come up with good pairs. For example, my students in China usually mix up "smile" and "smell". ("Joe, you have a nice smell", they often tell me!) Just yesterday, however, a student confused "small" and "smell". It makes me wonder which pairs to use. I have a good idea which sounds speakers of Chinese and Japanese might confuse. I am not so sure about speakers of other languages. What do you think?

[chig2626]
