it's weird that you don't have a web page yet. your videos are amazing. I'll be teaching pronunciation in my country and i will use them a lot with the students that I'll have in my class.

[@SoundsAmerican]

Glad you found our videos useful! Let us know if your students like them. We'd love to get their feedback. About a web page - that's work in progress. Stay tuned!

I've been looking for this sound my whole life. 95% of people mispronounce my first name, and I've tried various phonetic spellings until bumping into this sound. I'm in the 16% of g, so lucky me. Thanks for this lesson.

[@hugoespinoza1878]

A Spanish speaker, who not to be here, is a fool, 'cause this is the best channel for phonetics ever.

It blew my mind how much easier the exercise was the second time around. I needed this video because my name is Jenny and even though people in my native language always understand it correctly, I realised that foreigners think I'm saying Denny. I hope this video actually helps me fix it with some practice.

[@SoundsAmerican]

Very glad to hear that!

[@sharito9423]

I have seen so many videos, but yours are so far the very best. I truly believe that there is no other video out there that can make it any easier. Now it's up to me to practice. I am practicing and every time it's getting easier.😀 I watch each video like five times in a row Thank you so much for your time and let The Lord Jesus bless you.

[@bobsalmon121346]

Excellent teaching video!!! (I teach English to Spanish-speakers and tutor reading for elementary children just learning to read.) Some of the other videos I found that offer guidance on pronouncing the 'j' sound were helpful, but this one is by far the best. [One small critique, however: In reciting your tongue twister the speaker does not pronounce the 'j-d' sound at the end of the word "changed," so sounds like "change"; and as you undoubtedly know, it's so important for listeners to hear the 'd' sound (sometimes better sounded as a light 't') at the end of a past-tense verb, even if it's just a light touch.]

[@SoundsAmerican]

Thank you! We're glad to hear that they are helpful for teachers. Regarding the "changed" pronunciation in the tongue twister - we might have overdone it while doing the sound processing, that's why the final sounds may seem weird.

[@bobsalmon121346]

@@SoundsAmerican Thanks for the explanation. My point was a small one, and in the end, it is the overall excellent quality of your teaching video that counts. The sound of the speaker's voice and his pronunciation are clear and precise. This video is going to help a lot of people. Kudos!

They are indeed, and it's easy to get confused because of the letter "j" and the IPA symbol /j/.

Please make a vid on silent letters that are silent only in American English, such as the letter N in the word interview, the N in the word winter and so on. Would be great to have a comprehensive list of words with the silent N, something like "top 200" and whatnot.

[@SoundsAmerican]

+Cosmic Disco Thank you for your suggestion. We'll consider it. Just a note here, the letter 'n' in the words "interview" or "winter" is not silent, it's pronounced. You may have meant the letter 't'.

[@조카의크레파스]

Thank you! This video is really helpful. Can I ask you a question? As a Korean, I'm not sure if I understand the pronunciation. Sometimes, [dʒ] sounds like [tʃ], when it is at the end of words. and When I heard some examples like "church" and "judge", their last pronunciations also sound like the same to me. It's really difficult for me. If [dʒ] sound is at the end of a word, is it pronounced like unvoiced ? I've really spent lots of time to understand the difference between them. Please let me know how to pronounce exactly. Thank you

[@SoundsAmerican]

Don't worry, the /dʒ/ sound is very hard for most Korean speakers. Here are our tips: 1) Americans never devoice consonant sounds, meaning they never pronounce /dʒ/ as /tʃ/ 2) Americans never substitute /dʒ/ with /ɡ/ 3) The most common spellings for the /tʃ/ sound are 'CH', 'T', and 'TCH' 4) The most common spellings for the /dʒ/ sound are 'G', 'J', and 'DG' 5) The only way to master any foreign sound is to practice it a lot. soundsamerican.net/article/consonant_sound_ch_as_in_chair - soundsamerican.net/article/consonant_sound_dzh_as_in_job

Dear Sounds American, First of all, I would like to say thank you very much for all the lesson. I really enjoyed and practised all the lessons that you have on your KZbin channel, however, I sometimes found myself in doubt _ am I pronouncing the sound correctly? especially for the sound that I don't have it in my mother tongues such as short a /æ/ _ American /r/ _ voice and voiceless /th/ and other consonants sounds as well, I am hoping in the year 2019 we have a chance to talk to you over the internet for sound correction I might say... A penny for your thought ...
