如何擺脫港式英文的口音 (十) 彭定康

[hannah152034]

我想問下,'ton' 'tan' 'ten' 呢d既發音系咪有d類似' 嗯' o既發音??

[tazan911]

short short 地

[LoveHoneybean]

I feel sooooo hard!!! my god. But I will try ^V^ thx!

[199405061]

搞掂左d中文賴音先啦。。。

[magichand147]

Both ways are correct, all these words with and without the "e" between "t" and "n" are correct. Please double check.

[terencechung122]

I don't think there is a "right" or "wrong" way to pronounce button..as many or most english or british people use the "wrong" way. Many people will find it more precise and sound better with but.ton whereas but.on sounds "lazy". The most problem I find with "Hong Hong" accent is how they tend to "split up" words with multiple vowels e.g. educational = add.jut.kay.shan.low and how the miss out "t"s at the end of words and distinguishing between R/L, L/N. and things like video(fideo) / weeedio.

[yipyingsauanna]

this one is so hard:P i'll try it, thanks:DD

[cttdehk]

佢無知在叫人地擺脫這種發音

[leanne1217717]

我唔得阿~"~

好難發

[sch1232009]

好難讀，點用鼻噴氣法？



[fanroanld]

九同十都好難= =

[eggadrian]

唔係KK phonics 同 DJ phonics既分別咋咩?

for the KK phonetic symbol,important-->tant="tn"

but for the DJ phonetic symbol,tant-->輕聲"e"n-->tent

so are they both correct??

[exploreryen]

1:45 Chinese eagle palm!

[TheGagson]

google translate 都讀錯!!!!!

[Cantonese2638]

...原來我連important都讀錯

[cttdehk]

@Cantonese2638

你冇讀錯，係講者無知，呢d係英式同美式英語的分別

[wongpaksum]

@cttdehk 咁就話人哋無知？就算係都係錯於佢無話俾我哋知英式美式唔同姐，­但佢講呢d 用於英式係對的話，你點可以話佢無知呢，同埋你根本都唔知佢知唔­知呢一度有英式美式分別，唔好咁快就話人地無知

[cttdehk]

@wongpaksum

佢講個d用係英式係唔對的

[cttdehk]

@wongpaksum

佢無知在話人地講港式英語，其實呢d係正宗英式發音，佢自己就讀­緊美式發音

[wongpaksum]

@cttdehk 咁姐係important 個tant 用鼻音出係美式？

[Yoshuayovel]

@cttdehk 佢唔係無知，係無聊。

你就無知，個音根本就不是美式，個音真係英式，信不信由得你。起­碼倫敦新一代D人係咁讀，其實因為舊一代就係咁讀。就係講所謂英­式，英格蘭本土就有幾百種口音，有D更誇張咁讀到「bu'n」，­就係示範緊個個讀法。

美式東部個個t係西班牙文r音，也即係高地蘇格蘭英語個r短版。

我啊sir以前係英國讀書，都教過我地有D人係會用glotta­l stop代替unstressed。

雖然我仍然堅持"butten"尼個讀法，因為真的覺得無問題，­你講個Ｄ所謂正宗英式，的確有人噴氣。

[gggu]

While I appreciate the good intentions of your videos, I do believe that for this particular one, you may have been teaching a new accent rather than how to get rid of an existing one.

I disagree with certain words you pronounced here as being the only correct way to say it. 'Newton' and 'cotton' for instance, are widely pronounced the 'wrong' way by many native English speakers.

Perhaps you should say that there are multiple ways to pronounce certain words.

[chickenshing]

yes,,and also for important,Britain etc.

[cyruscientist]

pattern查字典係讀港式發音既?

[kangmudta]

I dont think this is worth learning, not a posh one.

[manutd1968]

and I have got double A* in GCSE English (Literature and Language), and an A in GCE A-Level English.

[manutd1968]

you can pronounce 'em words as double t which implies you pronounce the words as, for example, Pattern as Pat-ern or you can pronounce them as, Pat-tern.

Both are fine, and it's got nothing to do with HK English or British English or Yanks English, in fact if you listen to the standardised English accent, aka Queen's English, you'll be find out that they pronounce them words as, i.e. Pattern, Pat-tern

Stop trying to act like you know anything about English mate (whoever makes this shit video)

[Maedakeiji852]

thank you so much, really learn a lot~

[any5302003]

我之前聽到D美國人係都讀 but n

我以為自己聽錯..

點知check下..完來真係感讀

[lol02468]

呢D係人嫁accents, british accents,american accents,仲有好多.

[mysilvereagle]

Is there a vowel between t and n of the word "pattern", so should it not be pronounced in /tn/ way?

[edwina0]

a lot of brit accent wor~ u from uk??

[wenjilu]

Actually I speak English and I have to say, that's not always the case. I do both "Britain" and "Britn". It sort of depends on my mood actually more than anything.

[vinching926]

dictionary wrote 'britn / 'briten for Britan

Is that the "e" sound is accepted?

[manutd1968]

Britain- the ai is pronounced as e (not exactly pronounced as e tho), so you can pronounce the word as brit-n or Bri-ten (so the former you do not pronounce the "t" whereas you prounce the "t" sound in the latter). In British English the letter a is pronounced with a "silent r", so a is prounonced as "a(r)", in American English a is pronounced very similarly to "e"

[ric0211]

For social and business context, it will probably make more sense to learn the American English because the Americans represent a much larger share of influence in terms of world politics, business, arts and literature.

Most importantly, people shouldn't be vexed on fostering a certain accent or tone in order to speak "good" English.

Who knows, maybe when India rises to world power one day, the Indian accent (really funny to hear) could become an acceptable standard for the Anglo-world too.

[nemesispang]

Siu's work is quite practical in that most HK ppl have no knowledge of IPA. But I agree that we should not make a fuss about speaking a particular dialect.

Most Eng speaking countries speak their own Eng and even in Britian only certain social groups speak BBC Eng. Its only HK ppl, inculding myself, who rarely speak Eng in daily life but at the same time like to do it the way (we think) that is superior.

[dogdog1030]

不错啊，很好。我研究说广东话的人和说普通话的人说英文很久了。­基本上听他们说英文就知道是哪里人，你解释的很好。

[vin1214]

in the u.s., actually no one will talk like that

[johnnydp]

yes

but we wanna learn English not us english

[mimoka22]

Had it not been your lecture, I don;t know that.

Thanks

[epkt]

Very educational. Thank you!

[martin2003hk]

very nice, good one!!!

[harrypotter271828]

Not so hard ,

but why we always read them wrong?

I think it is because we not usually read it habitually. Right?

[tubee]

Well, depends on the accent/dialect.

[nekoann]

OMG this is so good

[cookieogawa]

it is a /t/ followed by glottal stop and finally a syllabic n

[erikusa]

thanks very much for this. I learn alot here.

[HSCool]

I've seen you many video, you sound like a professional teacher or tutor, are you teaching ?anyway,good lecture.

[mabokman]

it sounds more like there is a glottal stop in between the 't' and the 'n' when he pronounces it. like the word 'uh en' the 'h' sound in the middle.

[luckyyacht]

Very good. Understand now why I always heard those words pronounced differently than I would. Thx!
