Hello miss,i beg your bardon i want to ask you about the teaching training course .so do you mean that it is such a video for youtube or you mean a course as that word's meaning realy .and if it is like this where can i get it?!
you are such a highly skilled professor i am a university student and your courses have helped a lot in terms of understanding phonetics and phonology courses THANK YOU SO MUCH PROFESSOR 💜
Frankly speaking, you are one of the top teachers I have ever come across. Your videos are very helpful and up to the point. You are a gifted teacher with no doubt. I have followed many teachers introducing the same lesson. The way you introduce your lessons❤ is so different. There some sort of smoothness in presenting ideas, and this is what makes lesson very enjoyable and interesting.
This is excellent stuff for my studies, especially as I get overwhelmed rummaging through endless pdfs and textbooks. Clear and consice. This is all I need. Thank you very much!
As a linguistics learner, I feel lucky to find out your clips. Your voice is at the right speed and clearly, the visual aid is good. Thanks a lot, teacher
Oh my gosh!!!! Thanks a lot about your great lesson my amazing teacher keep up the good work!!!! My god bless you more coz you brought my level up about speaking English but am i gonna be understood by the people while speaking in the connected speach?????
When I started explaining my kids the rules of connected speech from your video, they began to understand better the spoken English. It even helped me to easily understand the interviews with Jon Bon Jovi, which I haven't still managed to listen without subtitles!)) Thanks a lot!
Hello Billie! I have a question. How could we stand out the fact that we are talking about Simple Past when using elision? Is it deducted because of the context? Thanks in advance!
Hi Matias, thank you for your question. No, the context and tense are not really the reason for elision. It depends on the sounds in the words, no matter what you are talking about.
Hi there. I am benefiting a lot from your channel. I need a practice tip on the below. How to say these sentences without much struggle and how to connect the 'S' sounds between words and how to glide from an 'S' sound to an 'SH' sound between two words. 1. He is so shy 2. She was shy
Hello Billie, Your videos are so informative and easy to understand and learn. I refer your videos so much. I am from India and was hoping if you could share some tips to learn how to get our spellings right.
I want to ask a question that in practice example 6 there is linking r it is not intrusion because in intrusion r is not present in spelling but is added
Thank you for watching & commenting! Your example for elision (/t/ in 'must' is lost) and for intrusion (/w/ appears between 'do' and 'it') are both fine! Well done! Where do you think assimilation happens in your example?
Thank you so much! You're an awesome teacher, Billie! 😍😍😍😍😍😍I have a question. When Americans drop T in words like INTERNET, PAINTING, etc. is it elision too? And do we need to elongate N in those type of words? Thank you. 😇
Good question! No, this is not elision and the /t/ is not really dropped. Instead it is pronounced as a flap t which sounds like a very soft /d/ sound. You can learn more about this sound here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zgeYHDUEi50.html If the /t/ was dropped entirely (it is in some accents, though this would be more in the UK, e.g. in London in words such as 'water') you would need a glottal stop before the next vowel sound. It would sound VERY British and not American at all ;-)
Examples : I'll meet you at the party next week - Elision They moved to London last week - Elision, assimilation and intrusion [ moved - move (Elision), to London - (assimilation), last - las (Elision) ] I cannot bear the pain - bear (Intrusion) Hi i'm vidhya from India, I don't know whether all these exampled are correct but still I tired ...... Thank you ...... your way of teaching is awesome .......
Hello Vidhya! Thank you for watching & commenting. Good effort there! You had some good examples there: elision in: next week, last week I don't think there is assimilation between 'to London' or intrustion in 'bear' but there are some interesting examples of linking, e.g. between 'moved to' and 'at the' - nice job!
Many many thanks for your great videos. I've a question in the second sentence 12:54 nexT year. Can't it linking [tʃ](nekstʃɪə) instead of elision as (can't you [ka:ntʃe]) ?
Hello! A good question. Yes, instead of dropping the /t/ (= elision) we can also sometimes observe a special type of linking resulting in a /tʃ/ sound between e.g. 'can't' and 'you'. It depends a bit on the speaker whether this happens or not. This phenomenon is called 'Yod-coalescence' ... I know, what a strange name! If you put this term into Google you will see a detailed explanation and more examples. I hope this helps!
Hello dear teacher Thanks a lot for your help and advice. I do appreciate your job. I wish you peace and happness under the sky of prosperity. Take care and have a good time. All the best. Your Student from Algeria
Hello Amber! Yes, I do! I am a certified Cambridge CELTA teacher trainer and regularly work on CELTA courses. I also coach teachers on an individual basis. Best just contact me directly. You can find my email address in the 'about' section on my channel page.
Great lesson as always ma'am!😍❤ Ma'am, I've a doubt in the exercise.. Can assimilation also happen in 'next year'? Since we learned when /t/ is followed by /j/ sound it becomes /tʃ/
