Be aware, though, of that there's inconsistency between phonetic [...] and phonemic /.../ transcription The guy is teaching [ɛ] vs [æ] British /e/ is [ɛ] But British /æ/ can be [æ] or [ɑ] The distinction between the first two is really not so clear; but the third is easy to tell appart - it's a back vowel

If they sound distinct, maybe you're not pronouncing the same vowel sounds as the vídeo At least in British pronunciation, /ae/ not necessarily means [æ], it can mean [ɑ] too Phonemic transcription /.../ varies, but phonetic transcription [...] is standardized Maybe they sound difference because you pronounce [ɑ], a back vowel, but not [æ], which sounds like [ɛ], both being front vowels

@@SoundsAmerican I know I am extremely late but I was looking for an answer. American English is my first language and I was taught the long and short vowel method. I was thinking about how English vowels have more than just two sounds per letter. American English should look more like Vietnamese written down to represent the way it sounds phonetically. First thing I was shocked by the symbol for long and short sounds. Have we done away with the the straight line and the slightly curved line above vowels? Second where can I find a breakdown of the phonetic sounds? The first video I watched you were explaining the word/sound leaf written phonetically as li f. Right away my mind is broken and I might as well be an ESL student. Please link a video explaining this.

English pronunciation is very difficult for many non-native speakers of the language but not for me, well pronouncing it correctly is hard to some extent at least. English phonology is truly unique, wonderful and challenging for all English learners around the world. I love this language but I've come across some pronunciation and spelling difficulties and I always try my best to better speak, understand and communicate with English-speaking people whatever their accent as well as their way of speaking. The vowel sounds of the video are a little hard to pronounce and I continue to improve my pronunciation and I'm getting better at speaking more confidently and clearly. Trying to speak English like a native speaker is not necessary I think, I have good pronunciation with very few mistakes. Native speakers often make mistakes when speaking rapidly or casually, right? Thanks so much after all. ❤😊

Minute 6:38 Question. In British English there are 12 vowels, which are the monopthongs. I thought that the monopthongs in British and American English were the same. But looking at this image, without considering the diphthongs, I see that in American English there is no "Short O" or "Long Schwa" sound, which in British English are in the words "Hot" and "Bird" respectively. So in American English there are only 10 monophthongs? Or are there 12 monophthongs which would be the 10 in the image, plus the broken vowels / ɚ / and /ɛr/? Your videos are excellent, they have helped me a lot. Thank you very much!

Not in all cases, because in natural speech the length of vowels can be changed a bit, but in some cases, it is very important to listen to the length of each sound. /ae/ as in bat is a bit longer than for /E/ as in bet.
@SoundsAmerican5 жыл бұрын
+Andrew Jackson The length of a vowel sound is governed by a Vowel Length rule. A vowel is longer before a voiced consonant that it's before a voiceless one. So, the /æ/ sound in "bat" and the /ɛ/ in "bet" are of the same length. We talk about the Vowel Length in detail in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYLEaqqVlKykgsU

Brazilian people pronounce bad vs bed in the same way. These sounds and TH sounds are a nightmare for us.

Man, it's great but it'd be even better if a real man would demonstrate jaw positions instead of cartoon. Just a little wish, thanks!

Run away, The cartoon shows a side view that includes much more speech apparatus than you can see in a speaking mouth. But, never the less there are many on UTUBE. Just search 'English Pronunciation'.
