Randomly stumbled onto this video while comparing accents and didn't expect to see IPA and flap phonemes. Good on you for being so thorough!

[@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent]

Thanks so much! I try to be as accurate / thorough as possible without going too far into the minutiae of pronunciation (and run the risk of losing viewers in the process!). I'm glad you liked the video!

Julie, your video is fantastic. Some useful information: Other than /'kæθ.lɪk/, "Catholic" can also be pronounced as a 3-syllable word: ['kæ^.θə.lɪk] (The first syllable is pre-fortis clipped by /θ/ in the 2nd syllable.) or, with regressive assimilation, ['kæ^.θəl°.°lɪk], [l]=[l°.°l] being ambisyllabic, in which l° is dark and °l clear in American English.

[@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent]

Hi Jacob - Yes, I agree with you! Thank you for sharing this :)

[@robertmeyer7836]

My problem is that I was taught to say words properly, which typically means saying all the letters - of course, there are always exceptions, e.g. silent Ks and Ps. That also aids in spelling correctly. I'm just a country boy from the midwest.

[@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent]

Hi Robert - Thanks for your comment! It's always good to hear from native speakers who are from different parts of the United States :)

[@samadams1867]

Thanku for Julie's conversation club i very like only you and i want meet to you thanku

[@Mirador2]

I have a question, are pronunciations with vowel syncope associated with sloppy or more colloquial speech? Are pronunciations with the extra syllable (without syncope) perceived as more prestige, formal, or from highly educated people? And I wonder the same thing about elisions of consonant sounds, like the T in "Twen(t)y", "Of(t)en", or in "Exac(t)ly".

[@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent]

Hi MiradorIN - Thanks for question! My answer is no, the vowel syncope pronunciations are not associated with sloppy or more colloquial speech, and the same is true for elisions of consonants sounds, like in the words you provided as an example. These pronunciations can be used by all types of native speakers, of all ages, and in all communicative contexts. :)

Some people pronounce "broccoli" as BROCK-o-lee. The correct pronunciation is BROCK-lee. The second O is silent
