This is a golden video lesson in pocket digital format to be preserved and repeat like a mantra....I'm loving it! A stratospheric thank you!! (From an Italian spy ☺️ in transition to naturally British 🤞) 🖖
Talking of intrusives. I had a fascinating conversation the other day trying to work out the difference between the pronunciations of 'the east' and 'the yeast'. As there is an intrusive y in the first, do we therefore say 'the east' the same as 'the yeast'? The answer came down to the pronunciation of 'the'. Before a word beginning with a vowel 'the' is pronounced 'thee' (ðiː) or 'thi' (ði). So 'the east' is pronounced thiy eest (ðij i:st). Before a consonant 'the' is pronounced 'thuh' (ðə) so 'the yeast' is pronounced thuh yeest (ðə ji:st).
Most of what this video covers should actually come fairly naturally to an American, which was suprising to find out. However, I've been deep diving on the intrusive R, trying to figure out when and why and I've finally been able to understand. This is, of course, still from an American perspective, but the intrusive R sound is only used, as far as I can tell, when an American would use a glottal sound to separate the vowels between words. Very helpful! Thank you!
Dear teacher, I will learn the connected speech in the way to spy Britain your country with a great pleasure and not with another spirit; As I followed your course with a great pleasure.
Hey, Papa. Thank you for an amazing lesson. I loved it. I'm not British nor a native speaker but I've been teaching English for some time and there's something I've always wanted to learn more about and/or research but I don't know the name of it. I'm talking about words that end with consonant clusters like fist, lisp or risk. When they're transformed to plural or 3ps, what's the correct name for that s-s (for instance: fi-STS) sound in the pronunciation? I hope I managed to make myself clear and thanks again for all the great lessons 🔥
i can't thank u enough Papa😄 ive watched so many videos of yours and they are really helpful! all of my friends and teachers are shoked by my British accent now😍
I just came across one of your videos. It's both humourous, and informative. It is the perfect recipe for learning while having fun. Beside, you're a good actor. I loved your parody. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your lesson! How do we pronounce "conflict resolution"? Is there an elision of the "t" sound at the end of "conflict"? Or an elision of the "c" sound? Is there a catenation?
Before this one I'd watched the video about being polite. And there was the best type of giving examples. The speed was comfortable, the was some space for repetition. But here... The plot is perfect. The examples are very clear and obvious. Everything's fine but the speed. And ot is too short, to be honest . Things you give are awesome, I appreciate that, thx. But if don't mind could you expand the topic with make the emphasis on fist techniques. Because the last way of linking is quite easy. Yeah, at first it's confusing, definitely. Anyway then you're getting used to it. In spite of adding sounds. That's yhe shht distancing non-natives from you. How on earth you decide which sound to put? You got me a fish, now I wanna learn to get a fish😁
"There are no stupid questions, there are only stupid people" 😂😂 So maybe I'm stupid but what's the problem with Russians and "Catenation technique"? 4:26
