I'm English and I lived in PA USA around 2005. I would often entertain the locals with my A sound! Pancakes would often be the source of much amusement! The sound we use is like the American _'Father'_ sound for Pancakes!! Just to confuse matters haha I could Never understand when and where America lost the H from Herb?? I always blamed Bob Marley for the change! (when referring to _Mary Jane!)_

Hi Rachel. Hope you're doing great. Last week I asked you about the pronunciation of the TH and you told me some natives pronounce it as ð or ɵ depending on if the following sound is voiced or unvoiced. However, I came across an example in which the word wiTH was followed by a nasal sound (voiced of course), but it was pronounced as ð. You can find it in The big bang theory season 4 episode 11 timestamp: 4:24. He said: "Come on, who's wiTH (ɵ) me". And thanks again❤❤❤

Does anyone else struggle with understanding of æ in words like last, half, past, staff, task? They just don't sound the same to me as in "fat, cat, bad", but a little closer to a. When I listen closely to "last trap" they feel like different sounds, but they are both æ according to IPA

@poe126 ай бұрын
@aleksandra7420 It may be irrelevant. There are lots of local accents when people may pronounce sounds a bit differently depending on other phonemes around them. The trick is to learn to hear them as valid variations. It is feasible if you have lessons with exactly one native speaker and sync your pronunciation with them. When I was doing it, I could perceive that say Australians talked differently, but they ultimately pronounced the valid phoneme, which is not that off. Aussis you're great, by the way! 😀
@fluxus62636 ай бұрын
They "feel like different sounds" because they are; you can feel it, right? Yes, the effective sound (phoneme) of the voel "a" in "Last" it's diferent from "Trap". It's not possible to standardize and establish a definitive sound for a phoneme. There's a reference - a generalization -, yes, but you cannot isolate a phoneme and forget the relationships between phonemes in a word.

Hi @uahzhhh! The N sound in any part of the word will be a soft lift of the tongue tip, touching the top of the mouth behind the top teeth. It will feel like the same tongue position you use for a D. More on the N sound here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpawq515a5xlhaMsi=ohHh6y1A35EGeoDO

What about the "Chicago a"? I constantly hear people say apple with what appears to be a leading e, sounding like "eapple" or "yapple". That's not exactly right, but it's close. It sometimes moves North into Milwaukee, too. To a lesser extent, I've heard it in Michigan, but Chicago seems to be the best example.
@rachelsenglish6 ай бұрын
The Chicago A is interesting, for sure! American dialects often have small (or big) vowel differences that make them sound distinct.

Hi there! So, the rule is that after M or N, I have to use the sound as an ham, right? I'm confused. In another video, I saw you saying laugh and it has ea My son's name is Randy, before people didn't understand me whenever I had to say his name
@rachelsenglish6 ай бұрын
Hi, thanks for the question! The time that we use AA+nasal sound is when the AA comes before a nasal consonant -- N, NG, or M. Examples of this would be ham, can, or thanks. The AA vowel in its normal form can happen in other words that don't include the nasal consonant after the AA. Laugh, bat or after would be a few examples.

Maybe the sound is the same...it's just a nasal variation. (We shift into a nasal articulation, that's why we have the impression it's different, almost like an "ei" sound.)

It actually splits into a diphthong Rachel used /ɛə/ in the video. Other common variations are /eə/ or /æ/ and /eɪ/ in some dialects when followed by /ŋ/ (bank, gang).
