Hi Josh! hope youre doing great. I searched for a lesson that explains the pronunciation of the articles a/an but couldnt find any on your channel... I wached some on other channels but am still confused.. I know both articles have two different ways to be pronounced .. one short version with the schwa sound and another longer one with the letter a fully pronounced... but Ive noticed there is some difference depending on the word itself or the surrounding words, for example when I say ( have an umbrella/ put an umbrella ) or ( half an orange/ put an orange ) ... does the AN have the same same pronunciation here? I feel there is more than one way to pronounce the schwa sound in A and An .. what do you think??

Loved it. Thank you so much Josh❤️

Dear Josh, my name is Alexandre and I'm from Brazil. A few minutes ago, I finished the Linking playlist. I took notes of all content, every observation, each explanation. I'm grateful, so your approach and teaching methods made all the difference. I'm grateful for your dedication and goodwill. Best regards, Alexandre. PS: I'd like to send a contribution... do you use any platform?

For us, brazilian portuguese speakers, this explanation is so much useful! Thanks a lot!

Hello, there! I really liked this video and your explanations. I'm from Argentina and I'm studying Phonetics and Phonology in English. I've just come across with this rise-fall video but It's focused on what we call split rise-fall. Would you mind telling if there's any material I could read of practice related to rise-fall without seperating the tone? I've read Wells' books and he doesn't mention rise-fall in a clear way. Thanks in advance.

Josh, your understanding is far greater than most other teachers in the field. Thank you!

Interesting. Thank you in Jesus Christ!

You really prepared a useful handbook. Thank you!. From Brazil, Alexandre

Thanks ❤

In the word `Silence`, do you have the tendency to produce the `L` sound using the sides of your tongue? I feel compelled to do the `L` sound using the sides of my tongue when I am try speaking with the hinge in place.

Hey, teacher, what's up? I'm new in your channel and I'd like to know if you have made a video on flap T and on RL sounds (eg: laTer, squirrel, world). Thanks a lot!!

Josh, thank you so much, your videos help!!!

Heyy do you want to sale this chammel?

Josh, you are the best accent teacher in the field. You are a real expert in providing an in-depth but easy-to-understand analysis of sounds and articulation. Your insight has helped me break through and reach a new fluency level.

Hello Josh, I would like to know if, in phrases like "I'm going to paint the house," "could you check what's in there?" and "He closed the door quietly," it is possible to replace the alveolar versions of /t/, /d/, and /n/ with the dental versions. When I hear natives, I hear things like:/kʊdʒu tʃɛk wɑts ɪn̪ɛr/ /hi klozd̪ə dɔr kwaɪətli/ /aɪm ɡoʊɪŋ tə peɪnt̪ə haʊs/ I hear the /t/, /n/, and /d/ before "th" becoming dental versions, and the "th" sound being omitted. Can I do this in American English too?

A slow version would be nice. I can tell these sounds apart when they are a bit longer, but this video is still beyond my ability.

Thank you Josh!

This is very helpful!

Thanks

So when pronouncing the front vowels I don't have to put pressure in the middle of the tongue? I am talking about the scwha sound (center of gravitity), aren't these two positions pronounced at the same time? Or I just have to always go back to the center of gravity and when pronouncing other sounds I start from there (schwa mouth posture) and move to the other sound (i.e EH)? Soryy for these many questions but I've had this doubt for so long

Hi Josh, thanks for the lesson! I've noticed that in fact I do sound clearer when I use more breath. Your technique seems to work well:) I was wondering why that is the case... Why does an increase in breath help you articulate more clearly (even though nothing really changes with your articulators, lips, tongue...etc)?

LindsEy with an "E"

I didn’t realise this was an English teaching channel so I thought this was about the tongue muscle somehow being connected to the teeth.

At 35:0 , you pronounced the flap /d/ at the end of the word "complicated" in a satisfying easy manner. Can you make a quick short on how you did it? Cuz it sounds different than the flap /d/ traditionally taught by you and other teachers. Also, the way you did that flap /d/ is the most ubiquitous and I think it is more important to talk about what happens during fast speech. You talked in one of your lives about how you do the flap /d/ in the word `modern `, and you said that you are almost touching the inner corners of the above premolars but you are not using your tip at all. I was instantly able to map such posture and produced it perfectly and it was an enlightening moment for me and made a whole set of words much easier in terms of pronunciation. These types of hacks done in fast speech the are most important and you should be focusing on them in the future.

0:02 "Is he coming back?" Oh well.

So 😮 “In the” can sound like “inna” - drop the th sound ? Thank you

it is all good except I don't see any comments saying that it has helped anyone haha. Plus, kids somehow are able to learn how to speak like natives without ANY of these details

Great explanation, helped me a lot! Thank you so much sir!

I can hear “find the way,not find a way “

cuidado con esta app ELSA SPEAK. es un fraude, te roban tu dinero con las membresias, ya me lo aplicaron. es una estafa, no tienes ni un canal para reclamarles, son unos RATEROS

and what about have got :-)

in the series will you also explain the logic of phrasal verbs with up, out, off, down, over, etc.?

Great, awsome advice, I think that it should be the first lesson that we learners of English must start with. Thanks for your job.

I hate schwas. Arabic is my native tongue. However, I had a problem: many people don't understand my accent, including family members. It turned out I was making a schwa where I shouldn't be - I was using reductions incorrectly. I was today years old when I realized that. Now, it all makes sense.

In the phrase "he's in so much trouble," Is it possible to say, "he's in so muchrouble" since a "tr" can be pronounced as "chr."

Unbelievable channel! How do you hold your soft palate higher ? Do you have any trick ? I do not know how to take control of it.

Pliz more volume. W r on the road n don't wanna mis live

Awesome

9:10 question: I don't quite get the difference, so it sounds like the tongue is off for the E, and what about the K? How you corrected it didn't really sound voiceless, is it because of connection between the syllables that K started to sound more voiced? Thanks in advance :)

in the word "after", will the /t/ sound be positioned in the same spot when you do the flap /d/ before the /r/?

Could you drop the D and just use the Th instead?

How do you shift your voice😢 I don't know how to do it

Excellent ! I always struggle with the pronunciation of flap d + r and particularly the word letter is a real thorn in my side ! Thank you so much for the perfect explanation ❤️✨

Sorry bet i did not understand

How far is the bump from the back of the front teeth? About half a centimeter? Where exactly is the bump where we place the tongue tip for T/D/N sounds? Does it matter, or can it be anywhere before the bump as long as the tip doesn't touch the back of the front teeth?
