English pronunciation - Don't leave off the final sound!

[SirSpoonskier17]

this is probably the worst way to give advice, seriously. When you speak, talk semi-fast and accentuate the last sound, so the word leak would be leaK. we literally go leak-eh but the eh is so subtle, try that way and it works much better than be-ead and beat.

-ps, im native, she sounds like she is telling everyone they are dumb, nice try Lynn Bo but no...

[qh777]

This feels awkward watching this as a native speaker. :P

[mdkoofia]

sorry' i need to say those ways pronunciation only on papers and dictionaries and books and only separately. how about in the sentences and common native ways(lion part of people). we do have those two sounds unlike Chinese. Actually pronouncing following IPA sounds are not the problems. problems are following most common native speakers---- and the only biggest problem ever. thanks for your kind effort and hopefully you have understood our problems. The street pronunciation by the commoners.

[YouAreSoRight]

5:22 Do you, are you saying the K in thank you? . In (your) theory you oughtn't need to pronounce the k at all. . If you really are grateful for something from someone who won't go away easily, then, to say an 'exaggerated' thank you with no K, sounds, to the monolingual American speaker of English to be very sincere and very friendly. . You, Lynn, are nearly saying the K. I need some more examples of it unvoiced to know/learn what a missing k, thank you, sounds like. . . Cheers. from, del-boy.

[YouAreSoRight]

0:59 That you actually said monolingual in as a description of the folk who are not able to hear the missing sound and make-up for it. . And to attribute this to monolingualism is very good but bold, some will say it is unfair to those poorly folk who simply don't have enough foreign experience. . When I learned my first foreign language I learned at the same time so much about my native language English and Linguistics, too. . . Cheers. from, del-boy.

[popyrychka]

@feglazier

Not at all

[martinbeco]

This is an excellent lesson! Congratulations

[Search1110]

I have no accent in English, not my mother tongue, can you believe that?

[Search1110]

Wow, are you kidding to teach English sounds? Now each wanker tries to teach ...

[supasonicman]

@Search1110 Isn't this video a little bit advanced for you? You should practice English comprehension and expression before you try to reduce your accent.

[bluespringwater]

@Search1110 This is what you have to go through when learning any language, especially if you don't want to have an obvious accent.

[Geeljasjes]

This is actually a better video than the accent-reduction video.

[tvmxo5]

Great job. Those are really needed tips. They came very handy.



[aspirinarun]

Hi! Thank you so much.....Looking forward for more lessons.

[vnsa26]

thank you so much :))

[lauig886]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! This information practically changed my life!

[edgarvila]

Excellent exercise...Thanks a lot.

Now I got it...It makes a difference to say CAB AND CAP.

[banyumian]

It is very helpful. Thanks for sharing!

[jhwheeler7]

I wouldn't say 2 beats; however, there is a definite vowel lengthening before voiced consonants. It's noticeable, but not incredibly so when you're speaking. I would instead consider it stressed slightly stronger, especially in fast speech.

[huenhanp102]

it helps me a lot. thanks

[sheralikhushk]

how about the word " big"? Do we have to hold "i" for two beats. please explain. ... I hear many native speakers say the word big so fast not stopping for two beats as you have mentioned.... please, answer my question

[dwellerofrhymes]

Vowels are longer before voiced consonants than voiceless ones, all other things being equal.

[CamButler]

Only one beat.

[hadasburi]

this is grate information's.... please upload more videos. thank you

[girly4040]

helpful videos

[roboclaw1]

everything is cool but native Americans are the people before the European settlers such as Cherokee. Native English Speakers or Native English Speaking Americans is the right term.

[baigandine]

If you were born in America you are a native of America, so how about native American with a small n? Is that satisfactory?

[thedesart90]

good , nice video.

[myohannesm]

Thank you so much. I am using your videos in my preparation for TOEFL speaking.

[DaRkFoRcE1994]

[acap300]

ok i need evryone on this forums attention...

1 qn for every dude here..

what is one word short of coincidence???

pls reply

[Arissef]

I can't feel vocal chord vibration with my hand on my neck even when I pronounce voiced consonants.

[2hot2funk]

this video is less to do with teaching, and more to do with dissecting english. why make learning english so complicated?

[TimBillyRichie]

This is interesting. I'm a native American English speaker, and I never realized we did that vowel-elongation thing! It's true though.

[eloibas21]

it may sound wird but

i i say put, should i feel the vibration

[eloibas21]

it's wordless

thank

[delsur2009]

Thanks teacher so great!! yes it is helpful

[lolimoly1]

it is helpful, thank you .

[changodesgraciado]

Thank you madam, you helped me a lot.

[supasnopi]

i knew it's important but i just couldn't imagine the difference is this big comparing listening to you and the normal ones.

i heard every single word very clearly..

[pharaohegypt20010]

plz i want u to explain to us (expressing purpose)like ( so as not to / in case / for / in order to. thanks my best teacher

[pharaohegypt20010]

i want to see more more.. plz

[pharaohegypt20010]

its such an intersting lesson

[camalan09]

thank you........

[exnasxious]

this is really good video, now i can truly understand how to pronouce thing properly. Thank you

[TexasAg1998]

I think that should have been LIVE as in HIVE, not LIVE as in GIVE. LIVE can of course be pronounced either way depending on the word and usage, but LIVE - LIFE does a better job demonstrating the difference between voiced and unvoiced.

[alt0z]

Thanks a lot!

I really love how you explain difficult things for no natives speakers. I wonder if you could explain us something about fricatives and affricates.

Regards,

Vicky, from Santiago Chile

[sheralikhushk]

H is voiced or unvoiced?

[greattlemurs]

'h', when it is pronounced and not just written (be careful), is voiceless.

However, this will not concern you at the end of words because /h/ as a phoneme is never ever found anywhere else but at the beginning of a foot, (if you like before a vowel: 'hotel', 'ahoy'... you will never find an /h/ phoneme at the end of an english word for this reason.

[adorianvlad]

I love the words: "tasks" and "flasks"!

[BrndAhh]

@adorianvlad For me it's kind of difficult to pronounce them :'(

[timothyjesus]

i guess it is "two beats" is that right?

[AccentMasterLynn]

Yes. It is two beats when the final sound is voiced.

[andrewgeorg]

@AccentMasterLynn: those "two beats" make for a drawl which sounds odd to most British English speakers.

[timothyjesus]

I know to make it longer but

what is "two bit"?

[rhorowicz]

wow, I didn't know! that is great! thanks.

Do you have a complete series?

[kybernes23]

of course is helpfull. XD

can you put please subtitles?

my five stars for you.

[hereisthankappan]

great video ...keep up the great work !!!!!
