  • @jogsingumboots

    Thank you very much, I appreciate your help. I thought I speak a good english,They should've taught us phonetics at school.

  • PS @multimann2 @1410commodor1949 Just to confuse the issue (and then clearing it up) There's a class of consonant sounds (see my last post) which are called approximants. They are [w] wet [r] right [j] yellow (Using International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbols) They are halfway between a consonant sound and a vowel sound. The first sound of yellow and the 'y' in fly often trip new readers up. If you are interested this is called PHONETICS, it's a branch of linguistics. Again great questions.

  • @multimann2 @1410commodor1949 Answering your question about "y". The confusion comes about because actually this cute song isn't fully correct. Linguists define a consonant as a SOUND that is produced with an obstruction or blockage of the air in the mouth. Vowels SOUNDS on the other hand are produced by air not being blocked. So while we usually use AEIOU to represent these open sounds, as you've pointed out, it isn't always true. This song is good for 'word attack' skills, hope that helps.

  • nice song!
