Q&A ed plus th pronunciation

[@sherinchush7889]

You know what, your videos are a huge gold treasure which should've been worth noticing by more non-native English learners.

[@aysegul760]

You are the best teacher I have seen ever. Respect and Love...

[@sherinchush7889]

The GREATEST video I've ever watched about the contraction of the th sound.

[@marcosnascimento5868]

You're an amazing teacher. Thank you so much!

[@jhonvalencia3069]

Thanks im a spanish speaker and this a good advice for blending those words, thank you so much, Shane

[@sherinchush7889]

I've been struggling with this annoying linguistic phenomenon for decades. Now you draw the period for me!

[@Michaelatkins15]

Shërin Chüsh nobody else talks about these fuckin small quirks.

[@fannumber122]

Same. I've always noticed that native speakers do that all the time without even realizing it and that bothered me for years. Mostly because the english teachers would teach us the correct "ed" pronunciation but when they were speaking naturally I couldn't hear the "ed" at all. I tried to explain it to them so many times but they didn't get what I mean...Now I've finally got it.

[@sil3418]

I've been looking for this explanation since forever! Thanks so much

[@mercurymoon905]

Hello! I have a quick question. In most cases 'call' is pronounced with the dark L. But in this video's "call the" example you're clearly using the regular L, and linking it with the TH sound. Why is that? Additionally, is there a general rule when it's OK or perhaps even necessary to change the dark L to a regular one? Thanks in advance.

[@englishwithkim6838]

I do love all of your videos. So useful for me. Many thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dark9749]

Thanks for that great piece of advice. I'll try to relax and go with the flow when trying to pronounce something that takes me a lot of effort. Do you still post videos? I've got a couple of questions. Kind regards.

[@govardhannune4748]

Nice explanation

[@duy_bach]

Thank you very much. I'm quite curios about how your native speakers' brain function when you guys speak. How could you connect all the sounds together for instant like that? For people who is trying to learn English as a foreign language like me, it takes a lot of time just to identify the way consonants put together. It's almost impossible for me to apply those things when I speak fast T.T

[@JIEXIUWANG]

thank you very much

[@mercurymoon905]

Hello. In words such as 'call'.... upon adding an 'ed' ending, what happens to the L? Does the L remain dark or does it change to a regular L for an easier slide into the 'd' sound? Thanks.

[@汪强-h9j]

thank you coach shane，it's very generous of you to make this

[@natainjaluch-chewa547]

Оёёё!как сложно!Благодарю Вас!!!

[@ofdejerski]

It's depends how "deep" is our English. If somebody remembers rules he/she is more as the English, but generally (sorry my friends), and it includes me, first generation of new emigres speak very bad. Or at least these over some age - just parents of teenagers. Our problem is we speak nearly every letter in Polish. I have a movie in my mind - but always is sth at your road - this time first communion. Eg- today I read - G(olf)-U(no)-I(n)-D(o). guide ;( G(olf)-A(pple)-Y(eti)-D(o)

[@slavakurnikovsk]

Did I just notice he writes a Chinese character 生（shēng）at 1:34?

[@ayamelsayf8630]

Many thanks

[@NattSza]

Shane, and what about 'play the' versus 'played the'? since we can connect the T to the TH and keep just the TH, will the pronunciation of 'played the' be the same of 'play the'?

[@NattSza]

or worst, what's the difference between 'play to' and 'played to' if we can connect the two T's of the second one and keep just one? won't it be pronounced exactly as 'play to', then?

[@joseangelquielsantamaria832]

I would like you to explain the past tense of the verb seem.. I cant hear the sound of the past of this verb when usa native People use this verb in past tense.. Hi from Panama..

[@brunosantanajava]

Great video! I have a question for you. How would an American pronounce "I wanted It" ? I mean, when we have a word which ends with ed + it. Other examples: approved it, liked it, etc. Thank you in advance.

[@Latteassassin39]

OMG you slove it my problem!!! i'm always thinking about this question

[@naoyakisaky9534]

You’re amazing😊

[@ofdejerski]

In Polish we have "ch" as for one "h", (some people especially from east - do you remember Ukrainian language ! - nerby - recognized it by sound! ) rz as for "ż" (there is point over z), sz, cz, but we have a few letters extra instead of group of letters as one sound. ą, ę, ć, ś,ń, ż, ź. We have no v but w, w is extra ł. Do you see it with commas at your screen ? łyski is (or would be rather) for whisky

[@TheCyberjoa]

[@astrofrogy6927]

can u explain how american people pronounce after that ? after - that or after - this , after - the. do you guys say after afte?

[@sssss4636]

Hi,coach. You say '' call the '' is actually '' ca-ll-uh'' when it's pronounced fast. So, What's difference between ''call the'' and ''call a" ? I think they both have the same pronunciation.

[@ofdejerski]

even without "t"connected to "th" the end "ed" is difficult. ( I know , voiced sound or no - but who remember it while speaking) I'm afraid of to many question as if fact practice is much more important that theory, but could you explain why you use the letter "h" - green one - luh, why not wa- ni - the?

[@gianglong2007]

I have a question... Is there a "d" sound in "ed" as in the word "wanted"?... I thought that " wanted the TV" must be sound like "wanid duh TV"... Thank you!

[@flawyerlawyertv7454]

Wanted pronounced like Wannid is the fast pronunciation

Good teacher!

[@eliashhaied1125]

hi shane ..Thanks so much..I would ask when you say call call- uh ..the uh sound ..it's shwa sound ..right ?

[@ferassaffar3825]

About the TH sounds more like F sound for example baf not bath ? Is It true or no ? Is there something like vanishing the TH sound such as 'em for them ? If yes then does that include these,those.there, and this ? I really appreciate what you're doing

[@oOGonzaOo7]

when "I call the doctor" is said fast, it could sound like "I call a doctor" uhmm

[@coachshanesesl]

SIMILAR--there is a distinct difference between call a doctor and call the doctor!

[@kafkathomas4508]

wow it's very helpful. thanks

[@argenisaguilar9045]

usefull, thanks so much

[@kasutakasutakasuta]

What is the difference of the sound between "I call the doctor" and "I call a doctor"?

[@coachshanesesl]

"the doctor" -- a doctor you/we know; "a doctor" -- any doctor (in the phone book!)

[@kasutakasutakasuta]

Thank you. I mean how to pronounce "I call the doctor" and "I call a doctor". You said that the "the" is pronounced like "luh" when we are saying "I call the doctor". If so, "I call the doctor" and "I call a doctor" are the same sound. Could you tell me the difference if possible?

[@jazielm.sanchez6810]

The differences between defined and undefined articles are clear. In the sentence "I call the doctor" You call for a "th" sound cancellation. Then it turns into something like "I call luh doctor" Isn't it more likely to be confused with the sentence " I call a doctor"?

[@kasutakasutakasuta]

I don't know if "I call the doctor [=I call luh doctor] " and " I call a doctor" are the same pronunciation.

[@fredn.c.7128]

I call the doctor = I call luh doctor I call a doctor = I call lah doctor Is it right Shane ?

[@marlonchosky]

So, in "I call the doctor", the pronunciation is equal to "I call a doctor"?

[@coachshanesesl]

GREAT question--short answer NO! But it would be VERY similar. Will you be joining my AMA this Saturday or Sunday?

[@marlonchosky]

@@coachshanesesl sure I will

[@slavakurnikovsk]

I call the doctor = [ i caLLuh dahktr], ie in this sentence the SOUND "L" is DOUBLED. It means the sound "L" is pronounced longer. You have to hold the tongue little bit longer while pronouncing this "L" sound. (by the way this L sound has dark accent). And what about the sentence "i call A doctor" the exactly same SOUND "L" must be pronounced SHORTLY, NOT DOUBLED. I'm gonna write the approximate pronunciation : [i caLUH dahktr] As you can hear (see), the only difference between these SOUNDS is just a prolongation. Ie LONG " L" SOUND and the SHORT "L" SOUND. That's it. In short, these are the real sounds that you really hear by your ears: 1. I call THE doctor = [ai kaaLLA daaktr] 2. I call A doctor = [ai kaaLA daaktr]

[@ferassaffar3825]

Dera Couch Shane. If wants becomes wans does that mean WANTING becomes waning ? "went to" Can I say wentta ?

[@itshry]

So I call the doctor become I call a doctor...

[@user-ws8bg2zl4t]

Shane, how about native speakers speak the voiced "th" sound when they are speak very fast? I have research about that for many time, I thought it could be a sound like "da", but it turned out it was wrong. So I'm thinking about, do native speakers really speak "th", and with vibration when they are talking fast? or just let the tongue comes through the teeth and speak like "da"? thank you!!

[@andyboa8107]

I've been thinking about it too. But I can hear it only in "the", not in other examples of "th"

I talk to Michael vs I talked to Michael. How to pronounce this?

[@hocindy6788]

For my opinion , TALK TO i would stop k sound and keep T sound . TALKED TO i also would stop k sound and skip d sound and make t sound as a flap sound cuz it's between E & O vowels

[@coachshanesesl]

In normal speech, they'd sound the same!
