I think there are people who enjoy helping ,thanks you.

[TheBryanjenny]

Thanks for this wonderful video.However,i do have a question.We ve got lots of words that can be found in the 14 categories of sound you listed.Apart from the ones you are using as examples,how do we determine a word that falls into each of this listed categories?Thank you once again.

If this is for foreigners, why does he speak so much english? describing ho to put your lips and jaw in too much detail will just confuse people... I don't like the way american's speak english, not the accent, that doesn't bother me, but the little things like vowel classifcation, like how 'y' is 'sometimes' a vowel? what the hell, 'y' was never a vowel lol

[baigandine]

The strange thing about these so call-dipthongs is we assume 'vowel sounds' have some fixed value in outer space, and therefore it's 'two' vowel sounds. But this is not how the native English speaker's brain thinks of these sounds. It's being artificially based on Latin pronunciation.

Thank YOu!

[NeMetov]

I didn't get the difference between five and ten.. For me it sounds the same :(

[jhwheeler7]

NeMetov, where are you from? I'm assuming a Slavic-language-speaking country, am I right?

[NeMetov]

Russia

[TenoreRobusto1347]

@NeMetov It's like the difference between "Ah..." (as in "Ah, I under stand..." ah...) and "Uh...' (as in,"Uh, I don't understand..." uh...). The first vowel is the first vowel in the word Father or Lava, the second vowel is the vowel sound in crumb, or dumb, or rum.

[NeMetov]

thank you) I now have one British friend and he sometimes helps me with pronunciation.

[gekkomatic]

This guy is Amercian...in 5 he speaks long 'ahh'. it should've been 'o' in british english. In 10 there's pure sort 'ah'. That's it.

[D0ctorR0b]

Not sure why you haven't used the International Phonetic symbols in your list. Your characterizations of the vowels, such as "uh", "eh" and "ih" break English orthography rules -- and I suspect create more difficulties for learners of English, when they have to unlearn these symbols.

[baigandine]

Understanding English pronunciation is a dynamic process. The mind should approach the problem dynamically and not be overly reliant on an IPA artifice. It is merely one helpful stopgap and shortcut.

THANK YOU!

[mykirong]

A very good summary, or simplification, as you called it. Still, this would be more helpful if there's some kind of a live demonstration. Some learners might have a hard time following every word you say, especially when they can't see you. Notwithstanding that, though, you gave very nice tips. Thanks!

[BrainiacN5]

the video's good but you speak a little too low, it's hard to understand

[kisstar]
