Why do words like 'train' sound like 'chrain'? And 'dry' sounds like 'jry'?? 🤔 Learn how to pronounce words that start with 'tr', 'dr' and 'str' in English. Words that start with the consonant clusters 'tr', 'dr' and 'str' can sometimes changes to 'chr', 'jr' and 'schr' to make them easier to pronounce. This process is called 'assimilation'. We use assimilation in English to transition between words and sounds much more easier - so using it makes you sound more natural!

I teach using just one of many accents in the world. Please only learn it if you like it and if you are interested in learning it. I do not believe there is one “correct” accent or manner of pronunciation and I fully encourage EFL/ESL learners to expose themselves to as many varieties of English around the world to become accustomed to the beautiful variations of this world language. I focus mostly on teaching “Modern RP” (I may just say “RP” in my older videos, but to clarify, I do specifically mean “Modern RP”), however, you will hear a lovely little Yorkshire twang to my accent from time to time too. Please LOVE and BE PROUD of your accent. After all, it is part of your identity and makes you unique. 💚

I love you teacher 🌹. I learn phonetics fully from your KZbin channel. May God Bless you teacher

[@YbTEKE]

I could just look at you for hours without ever getting bored.

[@lewisndlovu7686]

Wonderful lesson teacher!This was a beautiful British English lesson to me.Thanks Emma.

[@shafeequllahsatari2094]

Your new video is easily digestible and practical to understand. If I'm not mistaken, in some parts of the UK, especially in Oxford and Oxfordshire, they pronounce the letter 'S' in words like 'strange' as 'ish,' which is not a phonetical nuance, but just an accent variation. Thank you so much for the insightful content.

[@Pronunciationwithemma]

Yeah! I've heard this too! :)

I lived about 11 years in England and I learned a lot but I never spoke some of these words like you are teaching now. If you do not study the phonetic you don't improve your pronunciation.Study is very important.Thank you Emma.

[@kaustubhsingh3775]

Emma,can these tricks be used in middle of words? Like strange,straight etc etc ..

[@Pronunciationwithemma]

What you have listed there are still at the start of words. :)

[@kaustubhsingh3775]

@@Pronunciationwithemma that's true yes....so what about when they are literally in the middle of words?

[@Pronunciationwithemma]

These rules still apply too. For example "education" sounds like "e-juu-kei-shn".

[@kaustubhsingh3775]

@@Pronunciationwithemma what about words like Android and Chemistry.Also...i might be wrong but sometimes it feels like words like "Secondary" are pronounced with the "j" sound.Does it actually happen or is my ear faulty🤣.Love your videos by the way ,I am actually going to USA for my UG and nailed all my interviews.

[@Pronunciationwithemma]

Yes, all three of those words can follow these rules!
