[@adrianek5719]

As a foreign English university student (abroad it's a very "prestigious" degree): I love you from the bottom of my heart. I had been having so many issues with phonology until now but your videos have been helping a lot. Hope I'll pass xoxo

[@BillieEnglish]

You're welcome!

[@ahmedlalia]

Thanks teacher for this explanation, I understand very much this course 🙏

[@ardalan.ismael3072]

Really I prove you you are best teacher. I saw

[@goliviraja2941]

Do the non native English speakers must be always aware of the vowels and consonants at the time of reading and writing? Kindly explain clearly .❤

[@BillieEnglish]

Understanding syllable structure is not necessary to speak English fluently. I am teaching this because many of my viewers study English phonology to design speech systems and for that purpose this is important!

[@yancyliu8758]

Thank you very much. So help for my English pronunciation

[@ashajoram6926]

Some consonant combinations are not allowed in English such as - tl and ks. But we have ks sound in - x

[@jaja_rous334]

for onset, it’s possible for coda

[@SaadRabbani-bb7br]

Thanks alot 🥺🫀❤️

[@Hawaria-jr2xb]

[@fernetguk]

Hello! I really love your videos and the excellent explanations you give! I still don't understand when a syllable is strong or weak :( any tips?

[@BillieEnglish]

Hello! I have separate videos on sentence stress & weak forms on my channel, you can find them by going on my main channel and then using the channel search bar there 😊

Hello Dear Billie, I have troubles with linguistics,i'd like you help me,(what is common between synchronic and diachronic study? What is common between syntagmatic and paradigmatic?)

[@BillieEnglish]

A good question. I will consider this for a future video!

[@HakeemaniQadeer]

Helpful❤

[@gabrielomorotionmwan6994]

great teacher

[@TaiLe-dr5ve]

I have some questions need your help to answer. Why does the native speaker usually speaker wrong way with syllable division in dictionary? For example: the word 'city', in Cambridge Dictionary write /ˈsɪt.i/ but native speaker always speak /ˈsɪ.ti/, they don't blend the /t/ sound in the first syllable, they speak /si/ instead /sit/ for the first syllable. Could you explain more about this one? Thank you so much for your time!

[@MaureenOkafor-ef2bk]

Pls what is the peculiar nature of syllabic consonant?

[@BillieEnglish]

Hello Maureen! I covered that topic here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJOWqZuXhdyir8U

Could I have example words on the following: Σcv, Σ (c)v, Σcv(c) & Σ (c)v(c)?

[@xizhang3291]

Thank u so muchhh

[@English.LiteratureEL]

Can you tell me the words which have four coda?

[@cyannegenus5197]

Does English and other languages more than syllable set ups???

[@ShiroRey-mr4gv]

In the word "stardust" st/ is the onset and st/ is the coda. And which one is the nucleus (peak)?

[@LinguisticsFriend]

"stardust" (/ˈstɑːr.dʌst/) consists of 2 syllables. They are 'star' and 'dust' 'star' consists of st-a-r (/st/ /ɑː/ /r/; CCVC) 'dust' consists of d-u-st (/d/ /ʌ/ /st/; CVCC) So stardust as a whole has the structure CCVC'CVCC. I hope I could help you :)

[@BillieEnglish]

This word has 2 syllables! 👉 first syllable: /st/ is the onset and the /a:/ the nucleus, there is no coda 👉 second syllable /d/ = onset, /ʌ/ = nucleus, /st/ = coda

[@yeon_nn]

I'm wondering, how do I break down "Queue"?

[@BillieEnglish]

Hi! "Queue" = /kju:/ only has an onset /kj/ and nucleus /u:/ 😊

[@aneeqasahar2930]

In English, all onset consonants are allowed as English codas, apart from /h/. What does it mean give an example

[@BillieEnglish]

That's the thing: there are no examples! There are no English words that end in the sound /h/ (not the letter H!). It's the only sound that cannot come last in a word.

[@pharaoh69-qq1hb]

Excellent explanations. You are probably the best (stranger) teacher😅. I did my exams after going through these and I'm proud I passed. Thank you so much💙

[@BillieEnglish]

Thank you! 😃 Well done on passing your exam!

[@jerry-g5w]

[@shamanaftab9251]

If you provide a vedieo on pre inetial, inetial,and post inetial+ inetial final , inetial final 2 inetial final 3 ,and inetial final 4 up till 9.00 caus I have paper tomorrow 😢😢 not too long just short .

[@onyoura_ngel]

How to define the onset, nucleus, and coda in a sound temperatures? I'm still confused

[@BillieEnglish]

I have no idea! What degree do you study that you have to consider sound temperature?

[@kaitlynbbx]

what is allophones (voicing)😊

[@muhammadmubashirmubashir5654]

Allophone are the phonemes but in different phonetic environment

[@honeysaad8590]

Send her this message. Syllabic consonants, I believe, are assumed in the theory just to save the collapsing umiversal principle that a syllable must have a voclic nucleus. Send her this message.

[@MAlam-je1gm]

❤❤

[@amnamanzoor6872]

If nucleus consists of only 1 vowel sound, then how come diphthong or triphthong in 1 nucleus? This seems confusing :(

[@musicstudio491]

We can talk about 1 vowel sound not a short vowel sound. So we can say that 1 vowel sound can be consisting of diphthongs or tripthongs.

[@ahmadkassab9305]

Hi

[@肖雅婷-r5p]

“Without vowel, consonant can never form a syllable independently.” Is this statement incorrect? Because of the existence of syllabic consonants?😮

[@kateab_bla_kaleam]

Can I get a contact number to answer some questions?

[@magdyyoussef4729]

How about the word ‘Stalinist’?

[@BillieEnglish]

What about it? It's got 3 syllables. Do you want the structure for one?

[@english_arabic_sounds]

@@BillieEnglish Thank you for your reply. I wanted to say that the word 'Stalinist' begins with the /st/ onset & ends with the /st/ coda just like the word 'stardust'.

[@muhammadmubashirmubashir5654]

Will you clear me about consonant cluster The consonant letter have same manner of articulation but different places of articulations are only form consonant then how Pl in play
