These types of pronunciation aren't specific to the western American accent...

[heydek]

it´s bored .....

[RoyClaster]

Thank for made this video is very helpful

[Mottahead]

Well, proper English speaking is difficult.

Globish is easy yet not very effective.

Most Advanced English teachers in my country of origin would be considered Intermediary Students in any English speaking country.

Serious English students and teachers should be given a lot more credit then they actually get.

Kudos to you all ;).

[galacticorm10]

I found it. Thank you very much. You are excellent. :) :) :)

[galacticorm10]

I found it. Thank you very much. You are excellent. :) :) :)

[juanjillocr]

Loved (d sound) the video, gonna check the rest. Thank you :)

[newtonsilvaae]

Great work Rachel!

I researched and found 15 vowel sounds, so far I have found verbs ending only in 3 vowel sounds. Would have a list of verbs ending in all vowel sounds? Thanks!

[excelsior3000]

Thank you Rachel, I've practicing with your videos and they have been really helpful.

[patriciadecaro]

Perfect explanation! Thank you!

[mnb0234]

excellent

[mnb0234]

the sound are funny

[Kanelodr]

I found this video very difficult for students. there should be an easier way to learn the - ed Pronunciation-. There are so many regular Verbs out there that it is sometimes difficult to understand which one has an UNVOICED OR VOICED whatever she means with that ...

[rachelsenglish]

@Kanelodr Hi --- I'm sorry you find this difficult to understand! If you need to know about VOICED vs. UNVOICED, I of course have a video on that! It is of primary importance in studying pronunciation. You can search for "unvoiced vs voiced" -- you'll find my video, and the videos that several other teachers have developed on the same topic!

[vincentcfpun]

@rachelsenglish I have never seen another tutorial video about "ed" easier to be understood than this. The examples of both the consonants, voiced or unvoiced, and words make the video so clear and can be used as future reference.

[almerubet]

@Kanelodr I do not think is difficult. If you are a teacher, it is a good way to know all this lady is explaining. As for me, I do know what she is talking about. :) Since I am a teacher!!

[Mr1990jorge]

Thank you so much...u are my hero

[anhel2020]

loI loved this video, It is really worth it! :) this explanation was best explanation I have ever had :)

[neethoven]

[ElQuixot9]

Greetings and many thanks from all my students and I in Chicago. We've found your videos very useful.

Thanks again for sharing and making easier for us ESL teachers explain regular verbs pronunciation so we don't have to reinvent the wheel.

[newtonsilvaae]

Congratulations Rachel! Simple but a complete explanation! That's what learners need! Thanks

You're a born teacher!

[Land1776]

i can not stop from learning because of your beauty.

[jpveralo]

It's the best cours of pronunciation that i'd had!!!!!!

Thanks a lot!!!!

[jose0505]

Good video..no more fuckin books

[jonathanmisterio]

ohhh you're so beautiful , and I learned too much with your videos

[EgleFig]

I watch this video over and over, always helpful. Always like at the first time.

[ghofspa1]

What does ''unvoiced'' mean? For an example, in the word pack, you definitely do pronounce the ''ck'' bit.

[rachelsenglish]

@ghofspa1 Hi -- watch the beginning of the video "G and K consonants: American English Pronunciation" on my channel (the How-To Sounds play list) to understand what that means. :)

Best,

Rachel

[sppammm]

@ghofspa1 "Voicing" is not the same as "pronouncing" a sound. You can pronounce "k" or "g" clearly at the end of "back" and "bag." The difference in pronunciation between these words is voicing /__g/ and devoicing /__k/ .... /bæg/ ... /bæk/

Here are some unvoiced-voiced pairs of sounds: p-b, s-z, t-d, f-v, k-g, etc.

[sandinmyears1]

@ghofspa1 - voiced/unvoiced are sounds like b/p, g/k, d/t, f/v, j/ch, zh (as in pleasure)/sh, z/s. Voiced is softer and you use the vocal chords (like humming). Unvoiced is more abrupt. You form a "B" the same as you form a "P" but the "B" is spoken where the "P" is not. You almost spit out sounds like "P" or a "T." Think of it like singing music. You can't really sing an unvoiced letter like S or F. You can't hear the note with an S like you can with a Z. No musical pitch comes out.

[TheNintey9]

so hard :(

[TheLuz1975]

thanks a lot Rachel, this is very clear!

[puregirl2011]

It is very useful video

Thanks a million for your explanation

Keep up yhe good work

[MultiTAMIMI]

MANY Thanks sister for your great help

[pantro80]

Wow!! excelent videos, excelent teaching, and super-beautiful teacher. Thank you.

[herbertcapazorro]

Hi, Rachel, you are the best. Great job. Congratulations!!!

[JeffWithAnF]

I might show your vids to my mom. Instead of going on facebook she could watch a couple of these and improve her english. Also like your style, nothing below the neck. Straight up face shot for the whole video.

Sad to think that you probably would have had 3 times the views if you were showing cleavage.

[bgsoldier88]

Hello, what about words ending on th? It is kind of hard to pronounce bathed - beitht?

[rachelsenglish]

@bgsoldier88 Actually, 'to bathe' ends with the voiced TH, so the ending would be pronounced as a D.

[claudemircloud]

Very interesting video. Thanks so much.

[bfrf2]

Thank you for this video, it's really helpful and clear!!

[EgleFig]

Neat!!! I found a helpful lesson!!!

[ramonvanidoso]

Thank you very much! I'been looking for this kind of explanation a long time; you are doing a great job and also, you are helping a lot of people. Keep it up!

[milly8389]

Please come to Italy to teach us we really really need teachers like you!

In Italy we don't have many mother tongues and you are sooooo great and clear! Our majoirity problem is just the pronounce. So please come here to teach english.

ciao

[kemetanch]

Hi Rachel,

you're doing a great job. I'm an English teacher in Barcelona,Spain and love to tell you that your clips are being successfully used in my lessons, to my students' huge luck.

very well done, keep it up1

Adel

[rachelsenglish]

@kemetanch Hi Adel, that is excellent! I am so glad you are using them in the classroom!

Best,

Rachel

[newtonsilvaae]

@rachelsenglish Hi Rachel! Just a question, I loved your video but I can't find any regular verbs ending in unvoiced th sound, Could you please send me examples? I would highly appreciate it.

Thanks

Newton Silva

[rachelsenglish]

@newtonsilvaae Hi Newton! Example: birth.

[newtonsilvaae]

@rachelsenglish Thanks Rachel! Would give me at least 3 more examples of unvoiced th sounds and apply them in sentences includind birth. Also me and my students Carlos have been trying to find verbs ending in the unvoiced "h". If you could also send 3 or 4 examples in sentences that would be great! By the way we liked the video you posted yesterday about how to pronounce the "and".

Thanks!

Newton Siva

[rachelsenglish]

@newtonsilvaae You're welcome!

[ð]:

He bathed at the neighbor's when his bathroom was being remodeled.

She soothed the baby.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

[h]:

no words end in this sound!

[newtonsilvaae]

@rachelsenglish Hello Rachel! I requested unvoiced th sounds, you provided voiced th sounds! I found birthed like you said, eightthed and pathed!

Also I am looking for regular verbs ending in the [w] w sound and the [j] y sound. Would have any examples!

Thank you!

[rachelsenglish]

@newtonsilvaae No words end in those sounds : if it ends in the W letter, it's the OH diphthong like in KNOW, or the OW diphthong like in NOW.

Also, no words end in the Y sound [j]. If it ends in the letter Y, like DAY, it's the AY as in SAY diphthong. Another example: toy. Ends in letter Y, but the sound is the OY as in TOY diphthong.

Hope this helps!

[newtonsilvaae]

@rachelsenglish Thank you!



[truongphan90]

@rachelsenglish so if a word ends with a diphthong such as mow ----> mowed, the -ed sound should be pronounced as /d/ right? Thanks in advance, your videos are splendid. :)

[tieuanchu]

thank you rachelenglish again. love you.!

[rachelsenglish]

@tieuanchu :) You're welcome!!

[jaegerhund]

I feel for English learners sometimes. Must be tricky at times. Good luck all.

[rattlehead081]

she's got beatiful teeth

[saalax144]

THANKS alot. I had problem all the time pronouncing these so ur lesson help me from today. many thans

[renanres]

Ok, Rachel, I know I'll sound like a broken record now, but I insist on saying that this is by far the best explanation about -ed verbs I've ever found. I already read a lot of stuff, saw many videos about it, but no one has been as much as consistent as you actually are in this video. Thank you so much for this. I didn't know about your website and you, and from now on I'll be a daily visitor. Thank you so much!

[rachelsenglish]

@renanres Awesome! I'm glad.

[haianh3110]

thank you so much Rachel,i wish to know about this video earlier

[xomarleal]

this is the best video about pronunciation I have found in the internet :) thank you Rachel!

[rachelsenglish]

@xomarleal You're welcome!! ^^

[angelofreire]

Great video, Rachel!

I've shown it to my EFL students in class and they loved it! I hope you don't mind!!!

Cheers,

Angelo, from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil

[rachelsenglish]

@angelofreire Oh absolutely! Don't mind at all -- share with anyone and everyone!

Best,

Rachel

[kamfunnys]

Hi! Rachels,,

You are good teacher and better than real teacher at my skl.

thanks for your kindness ;))

[solver70]

Rachel, you are really cute, I{d like to meet you

[sabretoof]

To the students here, one way of remembering this is that Case 3 is there because you can't put a T after another T or a D after another D, so an extra vowel is required.

-s (for plurals) has three similar cases too, /z/, /s/ and /ɪz/, although the vowel occurs more often for -s than -ed.

[geraldrojas21]

thank you Rachel, im studding for a test and this information is very important!! so thanks again,  you are a good teacher and you are so beautiful!!! :)

[kmdsa]

thank u so much , was  important lesson :)

[lokoviti]

thank you very much for creating this video, i have been always having trouble pronouncing the ed ending.

[ThePickersBunkhouse]

finally!! i really needed an explanation on the -ed!!! great video

[rachelsenglish]

@ThePickersBunkhouse

Thank you!!

[omigrad]

This is very clear. I would love to see an animated video with this information for younger learners. Perhaps something with less explanation and more visuals.

That said, your enunciation is perfect and extremely clear. I can tell you've taken pains to practice your clarity over many years. Well done!

[rachelsenglish]

@omigrad

Thank you! You are right that these are aimed at adult learners,and there is a lot I could do for younger audiences. I will definitely consider that as I plan future videos!

Best,

Rachel

[rutsablei]

Very few teachers who are not native speakers understand and use this information. Easy to understand, difficult to remember though!

[Roaming72]

Hi Rachel,

This is exactly what i'm looking for!

Have a nice day,

Amr.

[cartacor]

Great !!!!! Thanks Rachel !!!

[SatsukiPage0]

I always had problems with the pronunciation of the verbs on past tense... thank you very much for your help! That's just what I needed :D

[cleide97]

thank you Rachel, I've practicing the past tense, these came out in a good time!

[snowblanco]

thanks very much indeed 4 a great lesson.

all the best 2 you

[eltoris]

Thx 4 this video.

[Sofiz18]

Thank you so much

[rachelsenglish]

You are welcome guys! Thanks for the positive comments!!

[VictorDanDan]

@rachelsenglish

I learned the pronunciation way in Hong Kong, and now, after thirty years, I know the reason. Ha, it is due to voiced or unvoiced consonants.

Thank you.

You are so good.

[rachelsenglish]

@VictorDanDan Thank you!!

[fnssupply]

Great Video! Thank you.

[TeacherMelanie]

This is probably one of the most difficult things for people learning English to remember! Thank you for such a clear explanation. I will use this often with students!
