Ahh! I get to be first on this video. As usual, you’re doing so well that the points of criticism are small indeed.the one I noticed on this video I hadn’t noticed before. On a couple of words beginning with “wr”, It sounded as though you were pronouncing both the “w” and the “r” together. If I heard it wrong, I apologize. However, this is one of the few rules where there are NO exceptions. Whenever these two letters appear at the beginning of a word, the “w” is always silent and only the “r” is pronounced. The name, Cecile is pronounced “se-SEEL. I’d guess at least 50% of French names have the accent on the second syllable. Now, for “ nazi nag time” I want you to try something for getting “thanks” right. We’re still not there yet. Try putting your tongue between your teeth and blow. As you get some force behind it, pull your tongue back as you vocalize “anks”. Remember, tanks require storage and maintenance that I don’t have time for.😂❤
This "Thanks" part is becoming so tiring 😅 I've tried the best so far to keep my tongue exactly where it is supposed to be but I personally am not satisfied with Thanks so far, it seems I've to change the statement or do something extra ordinary to fix it 😂❤️
You may be trying too hard or I’m not being clear enough. When pronouncing consonants some are voiced and others are not. For instance, your mouth takes the same position to pronounce the “b” sound (voiced) and the “p” sound (not voiced). The not voiced or unvoiced we call “plosive” in phonetics. That’s because the sound seems to emit a small “explosion” of air or breath. If you sound each consonant as voiced and unvoiced you’ll see that the voiced has an equivalent unvoiced one . For instance, “d”=s voiced and it’s equivalent “t” =s unvoiced. When we pronounce a word beginning with an unvoiced consonant, the first audible sound comes from the vowel, all of which are voiced. To get the proper “thank” sound, just sound the “th” as silent and plosive. Get some force of breath behind it. Put your hand in front of your mouth and feel the force of your breath. Once you’ve established the breath force, add the sound of the vowel “a” and the “nks. See if that works for you. Try to relax as you do it; it might be tension that is tiring you. I hope this helps. I’m thinking if you understand the process, you’ll have an easier time with less frustration. Let me know if I’ve not been clear enough. If I have, give this a try and see if you can put it in the next video.😊❤
