[@TheSunshinefee]

I am very grateful for this lesson. You are a very good teacher. My pronunciation is bad and that kept me from talking to other people. For the first time in my life, I'm finally getting how to pronunce right. Thank you, much love to you.

[@Coopos]

I'm glad I could help. Thank you for your kind words.

[@lisajay3067]

These exercises are perfect to practice our pronunciation. Thank you forever. " *He soaked his toe with soap in a bowl of cold water* " That helps me remember how to pronounce correctly and learn some new words like *soaked* "encharcou" in Portuguese.

I'm glad it helps. I know my sentences are often silly, but I try to use the key sounds of the video. Thanks for commenting!

Teacher, could you please make a video about the sound "a" as in "not and saw"? Thanks in advance.

Hello ma'am why you have stopped making videos... Plz come again you helping us to jump to the next level...I really admire and appreciate your affort..God bless you😍😍😍😍

[@Coopos]

I was doing other things. I will start making videos again very soon. I'm happy I can help you. Thanks for commenting.

[@abdobenbrahim4586]

Thank you Madame just ma question is that : the sound that I hear when you pronouce them both like (h) at the end this sound of h in home for example , thanks again, happy new year to you and your family madame

[@Coopos]

Thank you for watching and happy new year to you, too! There should not be an h at the end. Maybe I was forcing the sound too much.

[@davidnunes299]

It would be very good to watch a video comparing /ɔ/ and /a/ sounds. Here in Brazil people learn to read before listen and they pronounce the letters like in Portuguese we do. not, stop; cost, tall Thank you for all.

[@Coopos]

I agree with you. I will try to make a video like that sometime. Thanks. :)

[@xiangyuzhou1879]

Thank you so much. it's really great. just a little question, is /ɑ/ in father can replace most of the /ɔ/ in law, I feel like hearing people say /ɑ/ all the time and most of the time I can't feel the difference in daily conversation.

[@Coopos]

Yes. In some dialects of English /ɔ/ is not pronounced. People pronounce /ɑ/ instead.

[@matheuspavan2336]

Surch about cot-caught merger. Some people pronounce both like her, some pronounce both like father, some people differenciate them. Depends on your accent

[@ugurdundar1100]

We can say law or long pronounced like this laaoww or laaoong? Thanks

[@Coopos]

I'm sorry. I don't understand. If you mean can we make vowels longer, the answer is yes. If you mean can we put /oʊ/ as in the word "no" in these words, the answer is no.

[@ugurdundar1100]

First of all, for this video and your effort, I appreciate. Secondly,yes I mean like these words “law” or “ long “ we make these letters extend? For example, for law, we make a sound looking like “Laoo” or “ loaa” ? Thanks lady

[@Coopos]

Yes, some people extend the vowel sounds.

[@servantofaeie1569]

law /ɫɑ/ long /ɫɑ̃ŋ/

[@kgwells]

How about the difference between SAW and SEW? Is there a difference in pronunciation?

[@Coopos]

Yes, there is a difference. The vowel in sew is the same as the vowel in no. It is /oʊ/. The vowel in saw is /ɔ/.

[@servantofaeie1569]

/sɑ/ /səo/

[@servantofaeie1569]

no /nəo/ saw /sɑ/

[@tps6753]

In our English text book it is different

[@Coopos]

I'm sorry. It can be confusing. Different textbooks and also different dictionaries use different symbols.

[@elwinharahap6771]

Dear Admin, How do I know when the vowel will be sounded as /oʊ/ or as a/ɔ/ _ because both of them represented by the same vowel such a, o, and ou, for example, the words although and thought _ is there any pattern on it.... thank you very much ...

[@Coopos]

Although my video doesn't show it, most of the time when there are two vowels in a syllable, the sound is like the name of the first vowel. For example, in 'soap' the first vowel letter is 'o' so the sound is like the name of 'o' which is /oʊ/. In 'rope' the first vowel letter is 'o' so the sound is /oʊ/. In 'long' and 'cost' there is only one vowel letter, so the sound is NOT /oʊ/. In these two cases it is /ɔ/. Unfortunately, this rule does not work all the time, but it works most of the time. Good luck!

[@minjeehan4927]

this is perfect and very helping but i wonder is it only me who has no idea how my tongue is doing while i am prenoucing a word? during phonics as an esl student, "rise your tongue to the back of mouth" "?????" i need a camera in my mouth 😂

[@Coopos]

It's hard for me to know, too! I put my finger in my mouth to check, but then my tongue is in a different place. So, I also have to study textbooks and learn from experts. Good luck!

[@davidnunes299]

Tell us about the pronunciation of *FOR* which is most used? /ɔ/ or shua? Make a note on the video. So everyone can see. Thank you very very much.

[@Coopos]

/ə/ is used very often because it is the unstressed form and we usually do not stress the word 'for.' But if 'for' is stressed or is the last word, such as in the question "What's that for?" then we use the full pronunciation of /ɔ/. I will eventually have a video on stressed and unstressed pronunciations.

[@davidnunes299]

***** Thank you very much. I follow your channel. Very very good.

[@Coopos]

Thank you!

[@servantofaeie1569]

when stressed it is /fɔ˞/ but unstressed it is /fɚ/

[@servantofaeie1569]

/ɔ/ is the o in open /ʔɔpɘ̃n/ and home /hɔ̃m/, the aw is /ɑ/, and cold has no vowels /kʰʟ̩d̚/
