English Pronunciation | The Letter 'A' | 9 Ways to Pronounce the Letter A

[@EasyENGLISHwithJames]

If you enjoy this video and learned something today, then please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to the channel! Some NOTES about this lesson. 1.) The letter A can actually be pronounced in more than 7 ways, but the 7 ways described in the video are the most common. 2.) The A sound /ɒ/ in words like - What, Want, Wallet, Was is rare (doesn't appear in many words) BUT these words are quite common (we use want and what A LOT in English) 3.) The best way to learn these sounds is to read as much as possible and repeat the sentences in the lesson until you can FEEL which sounds are correct for which words. If you have the time and put in a lot of effort I promise it is MUCH easier than trying to remember all the crazy pronunciation rules in English! Good Luck Wonderful Students and I hope you enjoy the lesson!

Great . Mr : James . I appreciate all your lessons . You solves all my English pronunciation mistakes .

[@obraspelobrasil7951]

Hello, teacher. Thanks for this wonderful lesson. I'd like to suggest you to make a lesson about when not to use the verb GET. When it is wrong to use the verb get and which verb should replace it. Thanks in advance.

[@trance_trousers]

As a native British English speaking person I sympathise with anyone trying to learn the language! It's so easy when you've been brought up to speak it, as with all languages really. You don't appreciate just how difficult it is until you put yourself in the place of someone else trying to learn it from scratch. I'm currently in the same boat as some of your students, though, as I'm trying to learn Russian at the moment, yikes!

Bonjour James, je voulais d’abord te remercier pour ta pédagogie qui est excellente. Tu sais te mettre au niveau des débutants, tu prononces très bien et de plus, parfois tu nous expliques des mots qu’on ne pourrait pas comprendre. Tu es un professeur passionné et tu nous donnes confiance par ta motivation qui est contagieuse et tu t’ajustes à nous afin que ce soit une expérience enrichissante et tu y réussis très bien. J’apprécie la façon dont tu abordes les lettres de l’alphabet en nous expliquant les différents sons par des exemples, c’est concret et tellement enrichissant. De plus, comme je suis visuelle, ta clarté, ta spontanéité et ton non verbal m’aide beaucoup à plus comprendre. Pouvez-vous me dire si le fait d’apprendre à diviser les syllables en anglais, peut nous aider pour la prononciation? Je vous remercie beaucoup et au nom de tous ceux et celles qui ne te le disent pas, tu es le professeur qu’on rêve tous d’avoir puisque ton énergie, ta façon de transmettre tes connaissances est unique et est le moteur nécessaire pour progresser malgré les difficultés rencontrés parce que ce que tu dégages nous donnes confiance. Merci beaucoup!

Dear teacher James. It's the fantastic lesson which I have never learned before. You gave many special examples in which the learner must remember. Thank you for your lesson. Best regards

[@lanpham1020]

I can’t wait to learn other letters. Thank you very much for these precious lessons! Your teaching is clear, to the point. Now I don’t need do a lengthy research to find out how many ways a letter A can be pronounced. All sounds of letter are demonstrated clearly in this clip. Having IPA simples in your lesson helps ESL learners greatly. Again, I am grateful for your works.

[@EasyENGLISHwithJames]

You are very welcome and thank you for your kind comment. I’m really glad you find the lesson so helpful and clear. I hope my future lessons continue to be useful for you! More coming soon!

[@alonsoal6420]

Thanks a lot. Your video is very useful to me. Although English grammar seems to me much simpler than Spanish, English pronunciation and spelling are very complicated. These have been a real headache for me. As native Spanish speakers, it hurts us a lot not to be able to pronounce correctly and not to hear the sounds in conversations. I honestly prefer to study other languages ​​like German for this reason alone. However, English is the most important international language around the world. Thank you very very much!

[@EasyENGLISHwithJames]

Thank you very much for your kind words! I understand how difficult English pronunciation can be but I promise, the more you practice, the easier it will become. Try to repeat the sentences as often as possible and soon you will begin to “feel” the correct pronunciation most of the time. Good luck and have a great day! 👍

Wow, how fascinating! I had no idea that the letter 'a' in English had various sounds like the ones presented in this video. It's curious and amusing. In my language (Spanish), the letter 'a' only has one sound, the open central unrounded vowel sound [ä], which is unique to Spanish and is the one that identifies a regular Spanish speaker without any prior knowledge of linguistics. 😊

[@zyanchuah]

Hey, for the data vs data section, just my 2 cents, I think it really depends on the context of the conversation because for myself I actually use both pronunciations. Such as "My mobile data is limited" that is pronounced "dae-ta", and "The data has shown that B is more popular than A", data is pronounced "dar-ta".
