Hi Misha and Larissa. I stumbled across your channel and love it! You gals are fun and easy-going. I'll definitely be sharing your interactive videos with my students 😀
I love all your videos, and I use them in my classes to improve my students and my own pronunciation and intonation. I really would like to see something with upper letters and lower letters vs, capital and small letters. One small student asked me that question and to be honest, I can not replyed. Thanks in advance,
We love hearing that teachers find our materials useful! Thanks so much! That's a great suggestion for a future video. Unfortunately, we can't film together right now because of the pandemic, but we'll keep this idea in mind for the future!
I got the answer myself after 2 hours searching on the Internet. I used to think that ju: is a consonant. Actually ju: consists of j and u: j is a consonant and u: is a vowel sound.
"Shorts" is one syllable (it has only one vowel sound, therefore one syllable). The middle syllable in Bermuda -- MU -- has one vowel sound, the u: sound.
@@ExtraEnglishPractice Please help me provide those links..and e-material to my mail if you have any..my goal is to become notive speaker.I will pay your fee also for providing material.
There are patterns. For example, if the vowel has a long sound, divide before the consonant that follows (spi - te), but if the vowel has a short sound, divide after the consonant that follows it (spir - it).
Hai nice video. I have one doubt, at the end of syllables 'i' is pronounced as short vowel sound right.. then what about 'primary' word why i is pronounced as long I in that word. In first syllable pri/ mary...
Word DES-CRIP-TIVE has 3 syllables and the third syllable has 2 vowels..So what is the rule of pronunciation in this and and can we apply that when there are two,the first one does the talking rule?
The rule of "when two vowels go walking" is for two vowels that are together (like rEAd). In "descriptive" , the vowels are separated. It's a "silent E". Try watching this video to learn more about words that end in E. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KB9uyXyqzhE.html
Great video. Could you please tell me how many syllables are in the word 'alien'? Also, how the syllables are counted for this word, i.e. the rules that apply. There seems to be differing opinions on this word. Thank you.
Vowel "rules" are inconsistent in English. Typically, in a syllable with only one vowel, the vowel sound is short. However, there are many exceptions. One thing to consider is the origin of the word (ex. brigade comes from Latin, crisis from Greek).
About the VCV (short), how to say in real speaking? For example: In Cambridge Dictionary, i see: They write the word 'menu' is /ˈmen.ju/, but i hear many native speakers say /ˈme.nju/ They write the word 'city' is /ˈsɪt̬·i/, but i hear many native speakers say /ˈsɪ.t̬i/ /ˈmen.ju/ and /ˈme.nju/, which is correct? Is there any different when speaking these two syllable types. /ˈsɪt̬·i/ and /ˈsɪ.t̬i/, which is correct? Is there any different when speaking these two syllable types. Why people usually speak different with syllable division in dictionary?
