Could you please make video about all vowels & consonants in RP accent?

[@yamidemu1290]

Thank you fur this valuable information.I was wondering if in the world salamander you left alone the vowel "a" it makes a long sound. I read that the only letter that form a syllable is "y". thanks in advance for an answer.

[@sarahacuffjordan]

Great question! The 'a' in salamander is a schwa sound, which makes that lazy "uhhh" sound. I have a video on schwa sounds if you want more information on that. You are correct to assume it should make a long vowel sound but the schwa comes in and complicates things. I always tell my students to try the sound they believe it should make, then try the other vowel sound (in this case a short a sound), and if it still doesn't sound right, then try the schwa sound. Take a look at my schwa video and see if that doesn't clarify some things for you!

Good morning can you please leave the PDF of what you are explaining

[@doaatantawy6940]

Thx 👍 for Your video You said we have to Keep digraphs, blends, glued sounds... Together But this does not work with Mishop mis. hop Finger fin. ger index in. dex ca. na. ry gal.ley They all have division between digraphs, glued sounds, bossy r If the kids don't know the real word they Can not figure out after division does the word sound right or not This really makes me confused. Do you have a solution for this

[@sarahacuffjordan]

Thanks for your question. There are always exceptions or rule breakers for every rule. Words like mishop don't actually have the digraph /sh/ in it because we would look at the pre-fix /mis/ and the root word /hop/. If we made the /sh/ sound then it would change the word entirely. Same with "finger". You would divide it /fing/ /er/ because the /ing/ chunk stays together. You may have to play around with the word and where you divide to get an accurate division.

GOOD.

[@JenKumar]

Why is a word like cupping split between the two ps but cupped isn’t split? Passing/passed Bussing/bussed Pulling/pulled Barring/barred Etc? Thanks Did I miss it in the video?😊

[@JenKumar]

Is it because of the silent e?

[@SSheriff49]

@@JenKumar THE SUFFIX IS -ED. THE PRONUNCIATION IS "PASST"...NOT PASSD AS-ED IS ADDED TO A WORD ENDING UNVOICED LETTER-S. PAS-SING -FOLLOWS DOUBLE CONSONANT RULE. IN CUPPED- "PPED" MAKES PT SOUND.=CUPT THERE IS A UNVOICED P BEFORE THE -ED. THERE ARE RULES.

[@lconte1515]

Could you please explain us why the word VISION is breakdown VI - SION and the I is not LONG? Also, is there any chance you make a video with those words with many vowels together, example miscellanEOUs, enormEOUs, vicIOUS, qUEUE ? Thanks in advance, I love the way you explain :)

[@sarahacuffjordan]

Leo, thanks for your positive comments! I really appreciate knowing these are helpful for you. So I make these videos for my elementary school students as we are learning new mastery skills. We haven't gotten to 'ous' words so that's why there isn't a video for it but I'll take it into consideration that you'd like that! I really just make videos for my students. Great question about 'vision' and not having the long i sound. This ties into tion/sion rules. They dictate the vowel sound. Look more into tion/sion if you're confused. Hopefully that helps!

@@sarahacuffjordan Great, that's very kind of you. I will check that out. As a lifetime English learner, let me tell you a couple of things. This journey is endless !!!! and also, a couple of years ago I started studying syllable division rules, where words are stressed and how to identify the schwa sound and believe me that helped a lot to my confident while speaking in English, and even more, my spelling and listening have improved dramatically. You know what, some time ago, somebody told me "if you can say it, you can hear it" Best regards, stay safe and thanks for your help ! Leo

[@sarahacuffjordan]

@@lconte1515 English is such a difficult language to learn and there's always rule breakers! Feel free to email me at [e-mail] if you ever have specific questions. I post a lot of helpful hints/strategies on my school blog www.readingacuff.wordpress.com as well. My passion is helping language learners/struggling readers! I'm happy to hear learning these rules has made you a more confident reader/writer/speaker! That's so great.

[@lconte1515]

Great, thanks for the offer, I will definitely keep it in mind and of course visit your blog. ! Have a nice rest of the weekend ! Leo

Hello, why in the Cambridge dictionary, the syllables are not divided in the same place. Example: toaster: toast-er (in your video) whereas in the dictionary, we find: toa-ster. I find what's in your video more logical, but why doesn't the dictionary respect this syllable division? I'd really appreciate your opinion, as I've been looking for this understanding for a long time. Thank you very much for your very informative videos! Please don't forget to answer my question. Bye and have a nice day!

[@sarahacuffjordan]

Hi Linda--thank you for digging into the dictionary! Sometimes you can divide syllables in more than one way and still get the same answer! toa/ster is probably a much more accurate way of dividing the syllable but often times students can see root words and suffixes easier and divide that way.
