In Northern Italy you can easily get away without any syntactic doubling, local native speakers just don't use it. Sometimes even the 'gn', 'gl', 'sc' sounds are not doubled in the North, but it depends on the area or even the person, anyway everybody would understand you. The open and closed 'e' and 'o' are hugely variable from region to region, usually people will understand you anyway, although you may sound a little unusual to them.

as someone who studied English pronunciation through the IPA, this is super helpful! I can easily review the easy consonants and focus more on the newer, more difficult ones. The IPA's helped me so much with breaking down the sounds and get the correct pronunciation in English, and I hope it'll be the same with German!

Thank you so much for showing which sounds are shared with English and then moving on to ones slightly different from English. It helps it stick in my brain and find the sounds so much easier! Will be rewatching this one a lot

there's a concept of softness of the consonant in Russian language. k in cut is hard, whereas k in key is soft. Basically every consonant has its soft counterpart.

Great show

Hi

Omg I think this is finally making sense to me: Si1 - like 😃🎶 I wanna sing 🎶 SO-la-ti Si2 - like 🧐 oh what? Ya see? Si3 - like 🤖 MI-fa-so Si4 - like awee😔 poor baby Si5 - like 🙄 ugh see?? Si6 - like 🤖 DOE-re-mi Or in my head at least lol

If it's too fast, try setting the playback speed to .75 in Settings (the gear icon).

Go to Settings (the gear icon) and set the speed to .75 or even .5. Pause to give yourself time to repeat afterwards.

she has native accent great

PHENOMENAL practical techniques! Tysm!!

How much time will it take to learn all of the content of the app if we complete the daily goals everyday?(especially for Chinese and Japanese)

Lovely voice.

As a korean person myself who has also taken a linguistics class in college it was cool to see a video explaining things that came naturally to me explained linguistically

Attend... Tu as appris à parler français comme ça 5 mois ? T'as un niveau de dingue, c'est incroyable. On dirait que t'as étudié pendant 5 ans, pas 5 mois !

Do you plan on doing any more of these pronunciation videos for other languages? Could I request some pronunciation info for specific languages or accents of those languages?

Thank you very much for your knowledge. All the possible vowel sounds in Germanic languages (English included) come as a big challenge for me being native in Russian and Spanish, but your video made with dedication has helped make it easier!

He says "you can use my anki deck or make your own" but links to SPEAKADA in the description. Are they related?

This helped so much! I love phonetics 😍😍

this is melting my brain a little bit

is there one for Hindi?

So what's the best way to learn to produce all of these? Do you need to learn multiple different languages to get used to hearing them first?

The visual placement of articulation is soo helpful I've been looking in so many places, thank you!!❤

😂

Very good information but a bit quick. Please explain the dz phonogram and the gelato. I don’t understand the distinct.

I was surprised learning French that there were only three nasal vowels because the CBC hockey announcers in English pronounce them differently in players' names. They are solidly distinct in Québec, but are not pronounced as given here. Québec also differentiates strongly between a and â.

He is by far the best of the best, he approaches his teaching from several angles, which makes his tutoring understandable to a detail. Good job!

/ʌ/ isn't a thing in US English like this. Geoff Lindsey has a good video on the subject. USAns instead have stressed schwa. For instance, both vowels in "above" are schwa, while in southern British English, only the unstressed vowel is a schwa.

"Mock" as pronounced by USAns. This sound was introduced by German immigrants.

0:45 that isn’t /u/ in many of the words. Many words have /ɨ/ or /ɯ/ wrongly transcribed as /u/ in this video

HOLA THANKS THIS IS VERY HELPFUL TO LEARN MORE KOREAN AND SPANISH AND FRENCH AND ITALIAN AND CHINESE AND PHILIPPINES AND HAWAIIAN AND OTHER LANGUAGES EVERY DAY BECAUSE MY HUSBAND THAT LIVES IN VENEZUELA WANT ME TO LEARN MORE KOREAN EVERY DAY AND SPANISH WORDS EVERY DAY SO THAT HIS FAMILIES CAN UNDERSTAND ME MORE CLEARLY FOR EVERY YEAR WHEN I LIVE WITH HIM SOON THANKS HELPFUL GAMSAHABNIDA 🙏 ARIGATO 🙏 !!!!!!! :) GRACIAS 🙏 XIE XIE 🙏

This is the best explanation I’ve seen so far with the the details of the placements of the tongue and the images that really help to wrap your brain around the minor differences in the sounds. Awesome video

Thanks for sharing this! It is helpful!

Das ist schwer aber machbar. Sehr interessant.

Is this really the fastest way to learn grammar?

Ironically, the /ʁ/ is much more natural to me than the /χ/ which I can't currently pronounce at all. I'm an American who barely knows any other language wth lol

Thann you!

Im having such a hard time distinguishing between aspirated [ts] and unaspirated [ts], anyone have some tips?

too late but I'd argue that И following hard consonants, namely Ы, may be presented as a close /ɨ/. For me, it's never that close and is always more or less open, being a close-mid one, floating between, say, /ɪ/ and /ɘ/ (but sometimes too back). Polish and Ukrainian variants can distinctively be perceived and distinguished by my Russian ears and basically are often the same but at the same time more fronted than the Russian one 🤓🤓

thank you so much

I still very much can not hear the difference between the Dutch "w" and the English "v". Your bottom lip most definitely has to touch top incisors for it to work. Otherwises, it's just a English "w".

How do I contact you or send you a message, Gabriel, if I (Nikoemon) would like to ask you if you are interested in making or discovering a better solution to the IPA set of phonics, something more ROMAJI or ROMAN character friendly. I believe this possible but would like your input and don't know how to contact you or where to set up a safe (and disposable) contact address. Gabriel, if you would be possibly interested in talking about these vowels briefly, could you say something positive here for me to see your interest or not? Thank you ( ^.^ )(^.^ )/

When I first learned that foreigners have a hard time distinguishing those three sounds, i was kinda surprised. Now I understand why.

აბა რუსულის ტესტი ვის აქო💪💪💪

_verpleegster_ ... That's a big word to pronounce!

"eu" and "ui" Dutch sounds are quite tricky 😂 I'm glad that some of those sounds exist in my native tongue, French ! ✌🏼

Let's be honest: this ain't the easiest alphabet I've had to learn ! But I'm enjoying it ! Dank !

I never want to hear anyone complain about the English language again. I'm gonna try to speak Korean to my Korean bf and end up saying something like, "I'm kick. Let's get sqeeze." 😮‍💨😂

Thank you , the really powerful guide

This thing has been really striking my brain… Can we really learn usable grammar that way or more simply, have you learned a Language’s grammar like this? Please answer clearly..
