Nice animation! But it's impossible to feel the side of the tongue for me. I don't think most people have conscious control over manipulating the side of their tongues.

I find it especially difficult when the /ɑ/ sound in AmE is in place of the /ɒ/ sound in BrE (like in "hot"). No problem in words like "father" where the /ɑ/ is longer, more like /ɑː/ (and, if I'm not mistaken, the pronunciation is the same in AmE and BrE).

Hello, very precise and to the point explanation. Let me ask you, when it comes to short quick phrases as "I don't know" or "Show me what you're made of" does the d in don't and the d in made linked with the following of, sound as a flap d?
@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent2 күн бұрын
Great question! Yes, the /d/ in both of those words can become the flap when linking those phrases together, especially in fast speech.

Great job. I just have a comment about teaching rules. I think language acquisition should be natural. We can acquire the phonetic patterns and pronunciation naturally through LISTENING 🎧 and IMITATION. At least this is how i learnt English only by listening 🎧 and imitation, and now when i speak English, people think i am a native speaker.

Exactly! It's all about listening and imitating. Thanks so much for your comment :)
@Gene07235 күн бұрын
Well, if you learn the language when you are young, you’ll probably will be able to have a better ear to listen to words and imitate patterns. When you are older, I think we need some kind of guidance like the one in this video. Obviously, we must imitate patterns but guidance provides great tips to imitate.
@ipracticenglish5 күн бұрын
@@Gene0723 I see your point; however, i am afraid i still have to disagree. According to Chomsky, adults can still acquire the phonetic patterns as long as they have the Language Acquisition Device. Indeed it is not as fast as this of children, but it is still working and language acquisition can happen naturally regardless of age.
@Gene07235 күн бұрын
I agree with your statement. Adults can learn language by listening to native sealer and imitate. However, as an adult myself, I find it very useful and insightful this video and I can correlate this video explanation with what I hear or listen to native speaker. It doesn’t hurt to use additional resources to learn English. All in all, adults can learn anything.
