As a linguist, I find so hilarious when people don't understand that some languages have phonems that others don't have. It's not that Naayil doesn't want to say /s/ instead of /z/ at the beginning of words, it's that he hasn't got it so often in his language, so his mouth is not used to. Nice video, man!
@@tamim9266 It is amazing if you love to understand the logic that stands behind languages. You'll learn many things, even why many societies have such differences. Languages play fundamental roles in our existence. There may be some parts you'll find less interesting (not boring) but they're mandatory to comprehend the whole matter. Just enjoy it and don't get down if something comes difficultu. You'll make it anyway
The Z is coming from the fact that the S is getting vocalized. S+ vowel turns into Z. That is why he has no issue saying Swain normally( since W is not a vowel). but when he gets the S+a or S+o or S+ y combo we get Z.
I'm german too but have no trouble pronouncing the words and sounds correctly. I feel like it's just a matter of how much you care about doing something right or not xD
In Spain we have the problem with the /s/ plus consonant because any word in spanish have that phonems. That's why we pronunce 'Espain' or 'Espoon'. It was funny the german-english disscusion xD
I speak both english and german (my writing is bad tho) and i see their points, i say sona with the Z as well and iam not even german (no iam not polish or ostrian, idk how to write it), but i do say sion with an S, skarner with an S...
