This is the very clear description of w and y sound! It's been a long time to understand Glide Sound. Understanding Vowel Sound is first and then watch this video!

shift + > to speed up/down, , and . to step by frames phonetic symbols, allophones (/ŋ/ /ɲ/ /ɳ/) are variations of phonemes /n/ 1:21 iː in n(ee)d, l(ea)ds, t(e)dious ^^ english orthography (spelling) is very irregular in words like leads, tread, tow, now, cough, tomb, bomb, comb... ^^ therefore ipa is used as a tool to deconstruct words into phonemes/allophones (i dunno clear distinction between the two yet)
Excellent job, sir.Thank you very much.For many learners English pronunciation is complicated and difficult, but it is of central importance in the process of learning.
Hello @ArnoldTulung, sorry about the inconvenience. I don't understand which part of the video you are referring to. In any case, there is a link in the description for the presentation. I'll give it to you here as well. Thanks for your comment! docs.google.com/presentation/d/1mHYhRSizbcJvPYWOKiKgpJWH9-FJN_FPKAchc47Hzzs/edit?usp=sharing
Dear How can to difine the word in spelling, and phonetic. What will we do the :R: R,, is not showing in phonetic system. Please explain the problems Thanks ❤
Dear @IrshadBegum-gp5du, the letter 'r' in English words is problematic. Don't confuse letters with symbols. The symbol / r / is always pronounced when the letter begins the word (road / r əʊ d /). The British and American accents differ when the letter 'r' is in the middle or at the end of a word ( work Br / w ɜː k/ - US / w ɜː r k). Listen carefully to native speakers and you will begin to hear the difference. Thanks
I am watching your video in teacher's room. Hmm...the intonation patterns I hear in your video belong to British English. Your intonation is not like that, Anthony. Oh by the way, I think I have an orange expensive book "How to teach pronunciation" by Gerald Kelly. The audio recordings to that teacher's handbook sounds like yours. I hardly read the book as I have not much time reading it. After I bought it, I put it inside my study cupboard.
Honestly, this is a difficult lesson! I have headache, I am sleepy, which tells me that I need much time understanding this lesson. I have to do something else, then I go back to your class. Oh...I am not 100% well today. I have natural headache, sneezing...
Anthony! When you pronounce "party", my observant ears catch an unnatural way of speaking or a foreign accent from your utterance. You pronounce it while you are thinking, which is clearly heard. However, your video is helpful. It is an important video.
Hi Rama, Thanks for your comment. I wasn't able to catch my pronunciation of the word 'party' as you pointed out. I cannot deny that my accent has been affected by my long career of teaching English. Many Americans ask me where I am from! However, my big mistake occurs in the video at 2:52 where I pronounce 'controversial' (ˌkɔntrəˈvɜːʃl̩ )as 'controversal' (ˌkɔntrəˈvɜːsəl̩ ).😂
Oh my God! Where on RU-vid is your newest video that I saw this afternoon? What's wrong with your RU-vid channel? How it works is different from mine. I see videos belonging to other people in your channel.
Hi Rama - Thanks for your message. I don't know why you didn't find the new videos. Here is the link: ru-vid.com/group/PLLG0LhwOsDAfNUMeMAIRqhlXqCjo8wlZJ
@@Virtuaule Yesterday, I felt stressed after I tried to find your newest video, but I failed again and again. There is something wrong with your RU-vid channel. Perhaps, it is owned by more than one person. I do not know. I have checked this RU-vid channel since more than two years ago, namely before you knew me.
/bi:p/ sorry I mean beep! Hhhh . Glad to be led here. I like phonetics, I adore sounds and speech deciphering. I advise learners to seize this opportunity. At first it seems somehow bizarre but later on you reap the benefit. You ll learn every single word easily and keep on flourishing
Where did you get the idea for the symbol /ɔ/ to the short vowel of "o"? Daniel Jones used that phonetic symbol in the early versions of his "English Pronouncing Dictionary". It happened before the 14th edition of 1977. After that year, as long as I know, we have used /ɒ/ for that short-o.
I started using phonetics to teach my students from an early edition of Daniel Jones' book which you refer to. I found that students could remember the / ɔ / symbol as an "o" sound easier than the /ɒ/ symbol which caused confusion. I just continued all of my videos with that symbol. Wordreference.com uses the / ɔ / but Oxford, Cambridge and Merril-Webster, MacMillan and Longmans use the /ɒ/ .
@@Virtuaule Oh I see. Just for you to know, since long time ago, people have used the symbol [ɔ] for Dutch and German short-o, such as 'dochter' [ˈdɔxtər] and 'Tochter' [ˈtɔxtər], both of the words meaning "daughter".
@@AnthonyLombardi You didn't know /x/? You must be joking! It also exists in British English, especially in Scottish words, the most famous example being "loch" as in "Loch Ness".
The final video, Anthony? A good video! I am watching it while I am preparing myself to have some rice for suhoor or pre-dawn meal or early breakfast. About one hour from now on, I shall be starting my religious fast. It is 03:25 in Jkt now.
Actually, when someone manages to pronounce /ʃ/, he is one more step to reach /ʒ/. Just by voicing the sound is the next step. Still, not all people can do this.
Anthony, I am still in teacher's room working on the soft copy of students' progress report for midsemester. Oh...most Indonesians fail in producing /ʒ/. This is a difficult speech sound.
Also other nationalities have problems with this sound. In my experience, Italians, Germans, Spanish, Chinese and Russians. There may be more. You confirm Indonesians. French and Japanese can make this sound easily.
@@Virtuaule The French can say it easily? Sure! "vision, reportage"...That /ʒ/ sound of English were taken from their native tongue. It belongs to them.
It is 11:39 in Jkt now. I is Sunday afternoon. I am preparing myself to go to the new school, Anthony, finishing my work little by little today. Tomorrow, the school will open again after a three-day holiday for the start of Ramadhan.
@@Virtuaule Oh..."Ramadhan Kareem"? It may be the new term used by English-speaking muslims from Pakistan and India. Hardly people use that term in Indonesia. Perhaps, because we speak Indonesian, we are not accustomed to hearing it. Thank you for that new vocabulary entry.

2:09 It is said in _An English Pronunciation Companion to the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary of Current English_ (A.C. Gimson, S M. Ramsaran, Oxford University Press: 1982) that "the case of /æ/ (as in _bat, bad,_ etc.), although included in the category of short vowels, is really exceptional in that, before certain consonants, its duration can be as long as any 'long' vowels or diphthong. Most RP speakers will lengthen /æ/ before syllable final /b, d, g, dʒ, m, n/, for example, in such words as _cab, bad, bag, badge, ram, ran._ Compare, for instance: *cap* /kæp/ - *cab* /kæːb/ *bat* /bæt/ - *bad* /bæːd/ *back* /bæk/ - *bag* /bæːg/ *batch* /bætʃ/ - *badge* /bæːdʒ/ *ram* /ræm/ - *ran* /ræːn/ but *rang* /ræŋ/" As long as I know, speakers of American English insert a schwa /ə/ after /æ/ before nasal sounds, namely /m/ and /n/, the /æ/ itself being nasalized: man /RP: mæn/ man /GA: mæ̃ən/ I once paid attention to songs sung by American singers and I found that I was right. To my surprise, /ɪ/, another short vowel, has also the same tendency. Listen to this famous song: Tammy Wynette - Stand By Your Man
