Poor sound quality, but excellent explanation. Thanks!

This is a good initiative. The explanations are accurate. However, as this is a video explaining speech sounds, your recording should be of such high quality that the sounds are actually clear and distinguishable.

Yes, unfortunately, but explanations are good

Wonderful idea and fantastic expatiations but the sound has let you down are you able to redo it again?

This sounds like he's broadcasting from a Bunker after a nuclear fallout, to spread knowledge to survivors

What a horrible sound quality for a video that's supposed to teach you sounds... :(

Maybe you can do better

This would be incredibly informative if the sound quality was better.

Thanks for posting, this was helpful.

Excellent video!

Recorded over the phone onto an old record player?

Thanks for helping me with my homework!

Wow you had homework on this subject? That’s pretty sweet. Hope you’re doing well all these years later!

Found this video while researching about the san people, this is pretty interesting

I can make the alveolar click without having to do the little suck on the top of the roof of the mouth. Thus, only the sound of my tongue slapping the bottom. Does it have a name too?

I think it's a retroflex click

Oh so that explains why that guy spoke like that in Gods Must Be Crazy film series!

Can someone tell me what letters are used to make the sounds that aren't in the IPA?

all sounds are in the IPA, if a sound isn't in IPA than it doesn't have a letter to be represented with

was the audio recorded on an air fryer being powered by a potato

Why did you record through a walkie talkie?

I use the bilabial click to annoy my mother frequently!

@CoreyL11 Really? You're this upset because he complained about the sound quality? I'd hate to see you upset about something actually important. He shouldn't have complained, or used "ahole" but still.. calm down. :) It'll do you good.

Eish! Your clicking seemed to be coming out wrong, but maybe i am judging too harshly i speak a click language but not one of those. Its just that you seemed to go (click)...(rest of word) instead of saying the whole thing as one word. If i say cat i dont go: C-at, i say cat

Kai McKenzie Most foreign speakers don't know how to do it except when it's by a vowel or n/ng/m sound for some reason. Yes, I am one of those speakers. So how do you do it then? I want to learn.

@@EpicBzzBoy3 it was same for me, i used to put nasal sound before click, i always pronounced n/ng before click, and in order not to do that i started pronouncing the click then i made a pause and then i said rest of the word. it is important to know that a click is just a part of a consonant, and what we call plain aka tenius click is actually prestopped, so when you think of postalveolar click don't think of !, but k! - aka try to pronounce a stop before a click to not allow the nasal sound to come out.

Not an IPA explanation and the audio quality is lacking, but overall pretty good

Such as the alveolar click mentioned here is not a pure alveolar click it has a lower alveolar percussive release as well(It might also be post alveolar not alveolar as it is more common that an alveolar click is actually post alveolar)

@CoreyL11 Ok

This proves that it's actually that audio is bad in Africa. It isn't just poor technology: that's what Africa actually sounds like!

Interesting topic, but using a toaster to record extremely poor quality sound for what should be an audibly rich video makes the whole thing totally pointless, almost funny like a Monty python skit lol!

I guess the bilabial click isn’t even the right symbol. Bad demonstration!
