Could you please explain the "Low back merger" (where /ɔ/ and maybe /ɒ/ become /ɑ/) and the "Weak vowel merger" (where unstressed /ɪ/ and maybe /ʊ/ become /ə/)? I'm learning to pronounce words in American English (in general), so I focus on the most standard/common pronunciations, but it's very difficult to know what they are, various dictionaries differ from each other and I think the main conflicts are based on these two mergers, the rest is usually consistent. So far my understanding is that in General American English (or Standard American English) people pronounce /ɑ/ instead of /ɔ/ (and they use /ɔ/ only in /ɔɪ/ and /ɔɹ/), and that /ɪ/ and /ʊ/ in unstressed syllables should be pronounced as /ə/, but I really don't know.

Hi Wes! Great lesson! But I see you put the schwa for the word "difficult" in the second syllable, but the dictionary shows it at the third.
@InteractiveEng
@InteractiveEng 3 года назад
I think it's a slight different between US and British English. In the US most would use the schwa in the second syllable. I think maybe in this lesson I forgot to put it in the 3rd syllable. 🤔

Hi, I'm sorry, this has nothing to do with the topic of this tutorial, but since you guys seem so kind and helpful I chose one of the last videos about pronunciation for my question. Do you happen to know, by any chance, if there is a rule for the pronunciation of words which start with the letter "E"? I mean, how does one know when to pronounce the first sound as "I" as in the word "Egyptian"(for instance) or "ɛ" as in "exercise"? Thanks in advance for any help.
@InteractiveEng
@InteractiveEng 6 лет назад
Thanks for commenting! That's great question. When it comes to English, pronunciation and spelling have always had a peculiar relationship. If you're looking for a general rule, typically words that begin with E will have the short e [ɛ] when the 1st syllable is stressed like in "excercise" [EK-ser-sahyz]. When another syllable is stressed, then it often takes the /i/ sound like in "Egyptian" [ih-JIP-shuhn]. Other than that, I don't think there is much in the way of established rules for words that begin with E. 😀 👍
@dfxdfx5368
@dfxdfx5368 6 лет назад
Interactive English Thanks a lot, that is just what I've been looking for. Very much appreciated! So when you bump into a new word (there must not be so many, but it happens sometimes doesn't it?) starting with "e" you have to know where the stress falls on to pronounce it, right?
@InteractiveEng
@InteractiveEng 6 лет назад
Yes, that's correct. This is a good rule of thumb for words starting with E. There may be some exceptions (as is usually the case), but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

As a native English speaker learning how to teach English, this is surprisingly difficult for me to grasp because to me schwa sounds can vary depending on the word. The schwa in "together" does not sound the same as the schwa in "for". I'll grasp it eventually.

@InteractiveEng
@InteractiveEng 7 лет назад
Thanks for your comment! You bring up another great pronunciation point. In American English, there are several ways to pronounce the /t/ sound. One of those ways is called the "flap T," which sounds like a short /d/ sound. Some example words sometimes pronounced with the flap T include "letter" [leder] and "pretty" [pridee]. In the video, the correct sentence is "What are you doing tonight?" However, I pronounced the /t/ in "What" with the Flap T, so "What are you..." sound like [Whad-ar-yuh...]. I hope this helps! Perhaps in the future we'll do another video with all the different /t/ sound in American English. :)

Thanks for your comment. By and large, the unstressed schwa sound has an /uh/ sound. However, at times the sound is omitted altogether. For example, the word CHOCOLATE. The CO in the 2nd syllable is our unstressed schwa. But in conversational English, it's completely omitted. 😊👍

Thanks for commenting Leandro. There's a lot of information about the schwa sound. We may do a more comprehensive lesson later on. 👍

I don't know why americans to do this...I'm brazilian and I'm learning english. I dislike "Schwa sound" because in my tongue (portuguese) the words are pronnunced, so I can't undertand as americans can to "kill" the words, vowels, consonants and etc...the English language is not phonetic unlike the Latin languages

Why does this happen? Is it because English speakers are lazy?

Como puede un supuesto profesor enseñar inglés hablando inglés?? No te parece que algo no encaja ?? Si yo quiero aprender hablar inglés debes hablar y explicar en la otra lengua del país que quiere aprender ....
