★★ WHAT THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT★★
This video will give you a quick overview of the 24 sounds in English:
6 plosives
9 fricatives
2 affricates
3 nasals
4 approximants
We have a look at how they are arranged on the phonemic chart in three rows. Sounds on the left are produced at the front of the mouth, like /f/, /p/ and /m/. And sounds on the right side of the chart are produced towards the back of the mouth, like /g/. You will learn what makes each of those groups of consonant sounds special and also which of the 24 consonant sounds are voiced (= produced using our vocal cords) and which ones are voiceless. Check out my other videos on a more detailed explanation for each group of sounds below!

Olá amei seu vídeo, tenho uma sugestão poderia marcar qual a letra vc está pronunciando , porque fico perdida eu assisto o vídeo com legenda … obrigada pelo conteúdo riquíssimo.
Hi, I really love the way you explain: calm, slow but not too slow and to the point. I would really apprecite it if there were more videos demonstrating how to pronuance certain words such as spoon, words with flap t and more videos with the connected speach. These what you have so far are excellent and are sooo helpful. Thanks a lot.

Hello ! thanks for your explanation.Actually I found in some references that the sound "L" is lateral and you said that it is approximant.Can you please explain for me why this difference ?
@wyattscott4208

/l/ is a lateral approximate so it is both.
Is it just me or others too found this whole topic difficult? 😭😔 Why do they not these in the school urghhhh

Hello That's good
What about aspirated voiceless stops (as in "pill," "tar" and "car") vs. unaspirated voiceless stops (as in "spill," "star" and "scar")? (There are those who say that the latter are really "b," "d" and "g" in disguise, but they remain unvoiced. To complicate things further, the "voiced" stops also tend to be voiceless initially (as in "bill," "dip" and "guard") or when preceded by a voiceless sound (as in "top dog"). They are only voiced when preceded by a vowel (as in "a bill," etc.) or another voiced sound ("a big bird," "abominable"). Perhaps local accents affect this. Also, there is the glottal stop, though this is not phonemic.
Could you make a video on nominal groups, verbal groups, participial, grammar in linguistics please? I find it very difficult to understand!:(
@BillieEnglish

Hello Naga, thank you for your comment! I will consider this for future videos :-) But until then, here is a little explanation to help you: - nominal groups (in functional grammar): think of it as the noun of a clause, only that instead of it just being one word (e.g. day) it is a group of words, all acting together as a noun (e.g. the beautiful sunny autumn day) or even longer than that (e.g. the beautiful sunny autumn day that started off the month of November, ....). All of the 12 words in the last example function together as a noun of a clause = a nominal group. - verbal groups: again, instead of just one word (e.g. a verb such as 'walk') this refers to a group of words all acting together as a verb (e.g. will come OR can see OR has done OR has been doing OR is running etc.) You can see the other words in a verb group apart from the main verb are usually auxiliary verbs or modal verbs. - participial: here it depends a little what exactly you mean. For example, there are 2 participle forms. 1. present participle: walking - we add -ing to the verb AND 2. past participle: we add -ed OR use an irregular form, e.g. walked, eaten, bought etc.. I think you might be talking about participial phrases though, so: this is a group of words all acting like an adjective to describe a noun. For example, 'hearing the door bell, Tilly jumped up to see who was there.' - here, 'hearing the door bell' is a participle phrase. Another example, 'Tired of all the arguments, Bob decided to leave his girlfriend'. Here 'tired of all the arguments' is the participle describing Bob. I hope this helps!

What about the letter X. In words like BOX, SOX, etc the letter X makes two distinct sounds KS /boks/ /soks/ Any thoughts about this?
@BillieEnglish
8 ай бұрын
The spelling is a bit deceiving here. Although it is just one letter (= 'x'), in reality it is 2 sounds. It could be /ks/ as in 'box' or /gz/ as in 'exam' - all 4 sounds (= /g/, /k/, /s/ & /z/) are mentioned in the video.
What about "Lateral manner of articulation"?

Eventhough I put my hand on my throat I cannot distinguish between the voiced and voiceless sounds.

Жыл бұрын
The unvoiced sounds are much quieter (it's as if you whisper something which is basically speaking without using your vocal chords). The voiced sounds are really loud, just like when you are humming a song with your lips closed. Try out both, the difference is really obvious then. I hope this helps!
