Intro to "Stop" Consonant Sounds + P & B | American English Pronunciation and Ear Training Course

[@SreeKrishna-ke2rf]

I've never learned the three versions of stops before.Thank you so much for teaching that ❤️

[@stillwatersrundeep2438]

Thank you very much sir, you are an outstanding English teacher. Your lessons are invaluable.

[@ksenial6386]

Yay! The stop consonants series! :)

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

This is where the fun begins haha

[@ericb9609]

probably the most useful lesson out there on the subject. Thank you!

[@julesmercellus8605]

Thank you Josh!

[@laracroftvideos]

Haha I love the Japanese examples, and this video nicely introduces all the important parts of stop sounds without making the learner feel overwhelmed! Nice job ❤️

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

Thanks :) Yeah, I love when one language can help you better understand another haha

best stopped b p explanations. Can you do the stopped K and G in the same ways explained in this video?

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

super good

[@BlueSky-nj7zd]

Coach, Thanks a lot! I think this video is pretty amazing! and I have a question for you '''the soft version of "p" and "b" are the same?'''

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

No. They just sound similar. You still have to use voice for the B and no voice for the P

[@EnriqueGarcia-ho3ec]

Hi, prof. I was wandering how to do the weak sound of the v and f at the end of a word. For example: 'have', 'of'. Because I don't hear a strong puff of air for V or a strong puff of air for F.

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

I have a lesson on F/V. There is no puff of air because these are not stop consonants.

[@NhatNguyen-qx4ql]

Thanks for the great video! I have a question, when you say keep, do you pronounce it as 1) kee p or 2) k eep. In 2) it is like we connect ee with p to make it eep then adding k?

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

Well, they're all supposed to be connected, but it's closer to kee p, because the "ee" flows out of the release of the k, but the p has to come out of the closed lips/stopped airflow, which technically "separates" it from the ee sound. Of course, if it's a glottal stop p, then that detail no longer matters.

[@user-lf2zh3mo5l]

Is the secondary stress aspirated as well but not too aspirated compare to the primary stress?

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

Exactly correct! ☺ Don't worry too much about it, though. The aspiration is essentially a by-product of the amount of force, and we know that stressed syllables are louder and longer, with secondary stress between between the primary stress level and the unstressed level. As long as you have a proper amount of force in each syllable, the amount of aspiration will happen naturally!

[@user-lf2zh3mo5l]

Thank you!

[@jackieyoung9608]

so the unaspirated p happens both at the beginning and middle

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

Yes, but it tends to happen in the middle. The thing that matters is if it's strong or weak

Does that mean you approve? Lol

[@siddhantkapoor8079]

@@NativeEnglishHacks I am no one to approve. Your content is always pre-approved. Lol. It was amazing. I watched it once will be watching it again.

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

😊

[@jackieyoung9608]

so it's actually 4 types of p instead of 3

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

Are you referring to the "sp" combination?

[@jackieyoung9608]

@@NativeEnglishHacks inspirated P,uninspirated P,silent P,and glottal P.They are four in total

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

Sorry, this was sent to the spam folder and I didn't see it. No. A "silent sound" (whether it's a silent LETTER in spelling or because it's dropped in speech) is by definition not a sound. When speaking or focusing on pronunciation, you have to separate letters from sounds, especially in a language like English.

Dear Coach. Could you please help with the followings. is it right? 1st case: /b/ pronounced in 2 steps step 1: press lips together, vocal cord aspirated, hold the air) step 2: lips part and release the LIGHT air force Ex: band, buy, bird this applies to all cases except for 2nd case below 2nd case: /b/ pronounced only in step 1, no air released. This applies to - /b/ pronounced at end of word ( stand by itself, no connection with another words) Ex: crab, club, - the next (after /b/) is consonants (except for /l/) in same word or connection with another word Ex: absorb, subscribe, submit, submarine but next is /l/==>/b/ pronounced in 2 steps in 1st case Ex: table, incredible, babble Is it right? Thank you so much.

Hmmm. Not quite. I'll make a short for this later
