[@kennynarvaez8015]

Hi there! It's me again Teacher Rebecca! 😅 I was recently teaching my students about intrusive sounds and analyzing why the intrusive sound ‘W’ goes with certain types of words and not others. I noticed that the intrusive ‘W’ sound only arises when the final sound of the word to be connected is a /u/ sound or /ʊ/ sound. For the intrusive /j/ sound, it only appears when the final sound of the word to be connected is an /i/ as in "be" or an /ɪ/ as in "it". And for words ending in an /ɑ/ as in "got, saw, law" or /ə/ as in "ago, tunA, victoriA", the intrusive sound is usually an /r/ as in "run". It seems that whether one intrusive sound or another appears when connecting words depends on the proximity between the vowel sound at the end of the word and the different intrusive sounds (r, w, j). So, if the vowel sound at the end of the word is closer to the sound of /w/ as in "way", then that will be the intrusive sound that appears when connecting the words. In summary, the intrusive sound is subject to the principle of proximity and economy when transitioning from one phoneme to another. From your perspective as a professional, is this correct? How would you express this from your knowledge and experience as a speech therapist? Thanks in advance teacher!” By the way, I really enjoyed this new video of yours, thank you!

[@proactivepronunciation]

You have covered the concept very well in your overview. Yes, it is the lip position that is intruding from the vowel prior to the next vowel. Vowels with lip rounding intrude lip rounding characteristics similar to a /w/ to the next vowel. Vowels with lip spreading intrude the spreading lip characteristics to the next vowel sounding similar to a /j/ or "y" sound. This occurs when linking. In American English there is no intrusive "r" like you will hear between vowels in British English.

[@kennynarvaez8015]

@@proactivepronunciation I appreciate the clarification. 💪It makes sense that the lip rounding or spreading from one vowel would influence the following vowel. This will definitely help me with teaching, research and personal practice too! Thank you Rebecca! Thank you for your time and may you continue to reap success🥳.

Nice video. Thanks. But when do you address people as Ma’am and Sir? It should be used in what context?

[@proactivepronunciation]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the video! Typically we use those terms for elders or superiors that are new acquaintances. It's quite formal. I wouldn't, for instance, use these terms for a colleague who is someone I have met before and know well. Hope this helps!

[@davedarius7346]

Btw ma'am , could u try to explain the difference between light L and dark L during pronunciation? Because in the video, I noticed the usage of it a lot and it's confusing where to use which..From what I notice in American accent, it changes upon the situation, even noticed that during this video. Also, the whole flap T/flap D/Glottal T/Stop T concept feels like kinda tough sounds to master. But this video almost cleared up that doubt for me as you explained in detail about it. Also random doubt, I've noticed that some words like not & lot pronounced like nat & lat in the American accent

[@proactivepronunciation]

Absolutely, I'll be sure to touch on dark L in the future. If you want a thorough practice playlist for the glottal T, there is one dedicated to this exact topic on the channel. I hope you find it helpful!

[@MariaMahamud-f3s]

I want speak to English 😢

[@edison-1103]

Great lesson, very useful. Thanks. "How are you doing?" In formal Brazilian Portuguese, becomes: "Como vai você? But in informal speech it becomes: "Comu~cê~tá? 😂 (linked, reduced and very fast) I think it happens in any language. In fact, there appears to be one language within the other. My english is terrible. Afffffff. 🇧🇷

[@proactivepronunciation]

I'm so glad you liked the video. I agree, informal speech is so different in many languages!

[@edison-1103]

Oops! Speech.

[@44nina44]

It's an obsolon vowel? 18:55

[@proactivepronunciation]

Upsilon is the name of the vowel sound. The symbol looks like a horseshoe. Other instructors may refer to it as the "book" vowel as it's the vowel in that word.

Hello there. I'm from Bangladesh 🇧🇩😊

[@proactivepronunciation]

Welcome, my friend :)

[@troyerrand]

But u from the USA? I need to learn a good pronunciation 😢😢

[@proactivepronunciation]

Hi! What I speak is known as the "General American Accent" (GA) which is spoken in North America spanning Canada and the United States. There are various dialects in the United States (New York and Southern accent for example) and Canada (East coast accent for example) but GA is the accent used by the vast majority of both countries. I'm from the Niagara falls region in Canada. This is the accent used that you hear in typical US/Canadian media.

[@troyerrand]

​@@proactivepronunciation awesome. I'm following. Thank you, Teacher 🍷❤️. Teacher, do u on Facebook. And what about Yt shorts?

[@proactivepronunciation]

Welcome:) I'm not posting on any other platforms right now and no shorts (I wish there was more time in the day!), but possibly in the future! Reach out if you ever have a topic you would like me to discuss.

[@MariaMahamud-f3s]

Can you help me plz 😢❤

[@proactivepronunciation]

I hope my lessons will be helpful for you!

[@ALSAIBANI]

are you an American?

[@proactivepronunciation]

Hi:) I'm assuming you're asking about my accent, which is GA or the general American accent used in North America which spans Canada and the US. I'm from Ontario Canada, you may know many famous Canadians with this accent as well such as Justin Bieber, Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Goslin, Rachel Mcadams, Jim Carrey, Keanu Reeves etc. I hope that helps!

[@evermorevictorious2742]

The International Phonetic Alphabet must also be used!

[@proactivepronunciation]

Yes, it's difficult because many students don't know IPA, but others do. I'll definitely try to add more IPA diacritics in the future for those who do find it to be helpful in their learning. Thank you for your input!
