Now I understand why sometimes I feel my sentence broke while I talk... it's because like I try to spell every word out, no wonder I often feel my tongue is knotted in my mouth. But to get better with it, I do need to keep practising. This is truly an eye-opener. Love it.
Hello, you said ( I won't interrupt you ) for blending the last T in interrupt and y is the t and y become /tʃ/ sound in one place using blade of tongue or i make first /t/ sound then move my tongue to /ʃ/ sound. Thank you.
Which letter a? a in "am" is short e as in egg. a in "a" is /ə/ -yes. a in "lang" is closer to a Long A- as in "aim" but the dictionary calls it a short A. Most Americans raise the Short A before an NG so it's closer to a long A. The "a" in "gauge" is /ə/ or short i- as in itch.
8:45 trick noun /trɪk/ you said tricks how you make the position or how you move the tongue for tr in tricks are you make the /t/ like you make /tʃ/ then r. or are you move the tongue from /t/ alveolar to /r/ sound or you make /tr/ Thank you.
There is a subtle difference in pronunciation from state to state. I am from Illinois but have been living in California for 22 years. I did live in Colorado for 6 years as a child.
