Pronunciation Tutorial 2: English Pronunciation and IPA: Manner

[@jayess4]

I am absolutely confused and absolutely impressed...

[@md.iqbalhossain1477]

reason for confusing?

[@harrietskan7956]

you have helped me SO much with my linguistics coursework. These vids are 100% clearer than my lectures. Thank you!

[@waelwell8155]

why your videos didnt go viral ? This is a very informative tutorial.

[@princeicio]

Because it's not about lady gaga

[@user_bilal]

because not everyone's trying to learn English pronunciation.

[@veronicanarro8469]

Thanks a lot, I have been expending a lot of money in private lessons for pronunciation, even in the best University of Sydney but no one could explain the way that you did. You are a very professional teacher. Thanks a lot

[@guanlinhuang6139]

I'm Chinese but i'm from the south, and i just realized that i have been using post-alveolar consonants instead of retroflex in Mandarin......Thanks a lot.

[@indigoriviera]

Your videos are fantastic! They cleared up my confusion immediately and you preemptively answered questions I had during the video. Thanks for being clear, thorough and enthusiastic (and of course for making the videos).

[@annaguzakxx]

This and the previous video is a perfect revision after my lectures! You explained everything well, thank you!

[@Metalispureart]

I do admire you for your pronauciation! polish is very hard to pronaunce, and even it's my native language, I can't do half of what you do. Thanks for the videos, they help me a lot.

[@jianquanma]

I bought your book and spent five hours immediately reading it, never regret

[@pintolena]

this is pretty cool...i finally figured out why the sound in a 'word' e.g /r/ - /ara/ is done. this is pretty clear and detailed-thank you :)

[@QuarterLief]

I have a terrible time with trilling... I've never learned anything with trilling until now where I'm learning Russian and sheeeeeeshhhh I can make it bounce once sometimes but I can't get it to do several rapid ones. Especially when a word starts with the R.. I can do it after a consonant like T but after a vowel Its hard. Practice I guess. Anyway cool video very clear and helpful!

[@rodolfomondragon4200]

Information like this is very hard to find anywhere. One thing I would have liked better and would have helped me too, is making sure there the information wasn't relayed so fast. Other than that, perfect information. Thank you!

[@BarakAlmog]

Great video sequence, Gabe! So clear!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make them.

[@karymcortes812]

I had many doubts about the pronunciation, this video helped me enough. Thank you for sharing this handy video.

[@saifulislamrokon2716]

This is the best channel to increase our IPA ability. Thanks to admin. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@BlockKingdom]

Its called ABC pronunciary on pirate bay it has the vowels and constants and their sounds for examples just look them up on dictionary 'com and click on the sound recordings

[@SpillSamE]

Wow thank you for explaing this in such detail and actually pronouncing it for us. awesome!

[@crebisobom]

I'm learning english, this didn't help me so much, but I found this amazing, Very Intresting.... Thanks...

[@akshay21882]

Extremely good tutorial.

[@kellenkpetersen]

Love this! Hope you can get the next video up soon!

[@agl126]

Oh okay. Great video by the way, I really enjoyed it and found it super informative and interesting! I go to university in Australia and we use a slightly different set of symbols that is more suited to studying Australian English, so I find the IPA fascinating!

[@glassy_rose]

using this to study for my phonetics course, thank you!

[@shihabazadi2368]

Mister, thank you for the clarification and the wonderful performance 😀اشكرك

[@Felosele]

This is great. Please do the next ones soon...

[@herofayaz]

Very informative. Thank you so much for making this. Really appreciate it.

[@NadiaDanowska]

This is great for my Speech for Actor class :) Love it

[@SoroushTorkian]

I REALLY had trouble telling the difference between some sounds between velar and uvular. I guess that's how Spanish people feel about English B and V sounds? A lot of the retroflex sounded Hindi, I found that interesting.

[@ozgurasya61]

Thank you sir!

[@lovejhung6040]

I had a quiz about IPA and this video really helped me :) Thank you!

[@SHTan-my4oj]

Awesome, incredible effort, great job. Help me a lot. Thank you.

[@FluentForeverApp]

We're really happy to hear that you found the video useful for your learning!

[@fernandonunes975]

Excellent video!!!!

[@eduriot]

The book I've used at university, at the phonetics course, isn't clear as you are, hahaha. I'm your fan.

[@magalyreyes8197]

I freaking love this, I'll be back to watch this abt 20 more times since its already 1:30am and ppl are sleeping 😴 💞

[@maefuyonan4668]

Wow Thank you so.much... it's impressive I've learned a lot.

[@djemnahmerced5157]

This is so helpful in my teaching career...

[@shihabazadi2368]

The coolest video I have ever seen is amazing

[@ericanapolirottstock8336]

Thank you! Just perfect for my

[@NetAndyCz]

Damn I know exacrtly how I am supposed to make some of those sounds and I just cannot reproduce them and I have funny tickling feeling in my mouth. Somehow I can "just do" the sounds I was learned to make as a kid but learning new ones seems pretty tricky.

[@undiente]

As a spaniard, learning how to make the voiceless alveolar trill was fun as hell. I bet no one ever will understand this.

[@parthasarathyprasanna]

really very useful..thanks

[@Yeonp]

Thank you sooooo much It is really interesting...I love it

[@xktrvfs]

It's a little too much for me to understand all at once, but I am very thankful you uploaded this! :D Nasal sounds are kind of weird to me.. eh lol...

[@jingwang5842]

This is perfect!!!! thank you!!

[@Portugues-gw6ze]

So what's the best way to learn to produce all of these? Do you need to learn multiple different languages to get used to hearing them first?

[@FluentForeverApp]

We offer an English IPA deck here: fluent-forever.com/product/international-phonetic-alphabetipa-anki-deck/

[@JoshPowellish]

This is great, thank you!

[@ramzy-6566]

Great video.

[@FluentForeverApp]

Thank you! 😊

[@luisaperezvazquez8223]

I wish I had had this when I was studying English at university. We had to do it the hard way...

[@professorBonna]

Thank you teacher

[@FluentForeverApp]

Happy to help!

[@ghippieyogi2146]

you are amazing!! Thank you so much!

[@DiscoChinchilla]

Man, I'm really not sure if I want to learn the IPA. Frankly, I think that I might just look up pronunciation on a word by word or letter by letter basis. That's what I did when I learned the Malayalam alphabet. One problem is that I often have a hard time hearing the differences between sounds. For example, Malayalam uses a lot of retroflex sounds and has a separate character to distinguish such sounds from say, dental or palatal. Took me forever to hear the sound difference. :p

[@Souljacker7]

Amazing. Would you please link to the Wikipedia "mouth map" you showed? Can't find it

[@aboalgasimibrahimkarl791]

Thank you very much

[@i_curious]

Great vids! So helpful!

[@jamesforeman4368]

Another good owe. Thanks

[@OrangStefan]

I have a question: If I understood correctly, if I go with this pronounciation at the various places, I shouldn't use my throat to do any of the consonants. Is that right?

[@HAMIDPP08]

great thanks

[@hainekuran7323]

It helps me much, thank you for the tutorial :D

[@cherdiemae]

really impressive!

[@angelsrosena]

How lond did it take you to master and remember them all?

[@hardizzonissimo]

Hi Dear! How can I learn the exactly pronunciation of all IPA symbols? Can you suggest a particular book which has, for example, an audio Cd with recorded pronunciations? Thanks in advance :)

[@samhita3973]

can you explain american r with this ipa chart in a separate video please?

[@aristaliaherrera5974]

muy bueno, excelente! like

[@andrew1haddad]

thank you this helps a lot keep going!

[@Mickey-bo6cv]

Oh wow! Mind = blown. Thank you.

[@vickyk1861]

thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, and making things clear!I am intented to take a short uni course in phonetics and this is very helpful. ( Don t you think that IPA lacks in some things or might not be accurate in some others ?)

[@musical_lolu4811]

It's been hard, and still is hard, to find newer and newer symbols to represent very distinct sounds and allophones of the vast plethora of languages of the entire world. Short of native speaker recordings of everyrhing (surf the net for these, there are one or two sites with mp3s and stuff), the IPA is the best on-paper tool we've got.

[@Bringdasnowmonster]

I've seen fricative be divided into sibilant and non-sibilant fricatives. Do you know the difference?

[@eeltauy]

Great series. Just one qeustion: is there a reason you left out /ʤ/ and /ʧ/ in this video? Affricate if I'm not mistaken

[@FluentForeverApp]

Hi Carlos, we do not use all the IPA symbols available, only the ones that are the most common for the language in question. Using all the IPA symbols would clutter the system too much and it would be too difficult to remember all of them.

[@eeltauy]

@@FluentForeverApp I understand. It's just that j & ch sounds are pretty common; they even exist in English. In any case, thanks again for the amazing work 🙏

[@FluentForeverApp]

You're quite welcome, thank you for your kind words Carlos! 🙂

[@ChumeloGerardo]

Terrific video! I have a question: Do you have a symbol for the Flapped t (e.g Daddy, Metal, etc) I find it similar to the spanish "r" in words like "caro, aire", but I'm not sure if it's the same exact sound

[@musical_lolu4811]

The intervocalic /t/ is usually represented by the Spanish flap, y'know, the lowercase r with no tail. Now whether there's a finer distinction between the two I don't know. You can consult a phonetics textbook (e.g. the late Ladefoged's), or Wikipedia.

[@sophieg6191]

life saver!...exam on monday

[@alirezamohamadi3906]

Amazing!

[@ramzy-6566]

nice video we hope more.

[@FluentForeverApp]

Thank you! We're glad you liked it!😊

[@sattawutwongwiangjunt1715]

You are so amazing.

[@AnaFnoo]

Thaaaaaaank you very much this was very helpful

[@remrem3726]

I'm having a lot of trouble making most of these sounds, any tips?

[@liar78]

What's the difference between voiced and voiceless?

[@asmaabdelkader2574]

I can pronounce Pharyngeal sounds :P I'm Arab. :D

[@sanphotos]

Asma Abdelkader Pharyngeal sound is very commom in Arabic.

[@musical_lolu4811]

Duh.

[@RimSelektaMusic]

thank you

[@baobao-vn1hj]

i'm Chinese. I don't know is it due to the structure of my tongue, I'm unable to make trill sound. My tongue is so "inflexible", can't "purr" like a cat.

[@kumzukimchen2414]

Wish you were my teacher...🤗🤗

[@ruanmuller7]

If some one is trying to learn portuguese I found this site from a brazilian university that shows all the portuguese consonants (www.fonologia.org/fonetica_consoantes.php) and vowels (www.fonologia.org/fonetica_vogais.php) with articulation animation and example sounds.

[@stephenbuck8046]

Link to Anki deck is broken.

[@gleekelf]

can't seem to find the affricates

[@cunmente5419]

I'm here 2021. amazing

[@agl126]

Why did you skip pharyngeal fricatives?

[@----zd1od]

watching this video and being a native english speaker at the same time lol

[@hardizzonissimo]

please write the link

[@nma-77712]

I love you. thanks!

[@chaechae101]

crazy pronunciation I can't make that sounds forever.

[@noahloiselle412]

I don't have to memorize all three of the videos before I go on to learn with the IPA anki deck you made do I?XD

[@xktrvfs]

If you are or you know someone who is trying to learn American English, German, or Spanish then you can use this great phonetics website. I haven't found anything like it. I wish some more would pop up for other languages. uiowa.edu/~acadtech/phonetics/

[@tokiponafan4112]

0:53 but how do you do it? lol

[@taqwaajannatiall7411]

مستر متشكرين على روعته الأداء لكن اريد ترجمة بالعربية اسفل الفيديو طبعا فضلا وليس امرا سلام استاذ

[@josemoya4745]

How learn in a América with "Webster"and after IPA dictionary

[@godminnette2]

Doesn't English have the palatial /c/ like in "change?"

[@FluentForeverApp]

You do find this sound in English!

[@reemalazmi8058]

Thank u so much:')

[@SP-xj8ox]

There are so many symbols..Could you please suggest an easier way of learning these? Also, there's question in one of the linguistics paper, like if 'TOM'= 48, 'DICK' = 27, then what is Harry equal to? Could you please explain how to solve questions like these?

[@rainydaykennels]

Great video, but I'm not sure how to use it

[@Inspirationlady369]

Thaaaaaaaaank yoooooooou😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
