Transcript


00:00	Hi everyone . I'm jennifer from english with jennifer .
00:04	Do you remember how many letters there are in the
00:07	english alphabet ? 26 . But how many sounds are
00:14	there ? Mhm . That's not as easy to answer
00:19	because there are different varieties of English and people have
00:22	different ways of categorizing the sounds . In my playlist
00:26	on English Vowel Sounds . I covered 15 . Mhm
00:32	. Right now I'd like to offer you an overview
00:35	of the 24 continents sounds in English . I'll give
00:38	you an important key to clear production of these sounds
00:43	. Be sure to watch the whole lesson because at
00:45	the end I'll give you another important key to successful
00:49	pronunciation in general . Mhm . The key to learning
01:00	and producing continent sounds in english is understanding what sounds
01:05	have in common and what makes sounds different . First
01:11	Voicing all vowel sounds are voiced . When we say
01:15	vowel sounds we can feel vibration for example . E
01:21	. Oh A . Uh huh . Uh huh .
01:29	But continent sounds can be voiced or voiced , voiced
01:33	or voiceless repeat after me and say these unveil voiced
01:38	consonant sounds . Keep your hand on your throat and
01:41	be sure there's no vibration but . Okay . Set
01:54	. Yeah . She yeah . Now say these voiced
02:10	continents and be aware of the vibration of your vocal
02:13	cords . Your vocal folds . The yeah . Good
02:23	. Mm mm mm . Mhm . Mhm . Mhm
02:36	. Mhm june . What ? Oh . Uh huh
02:47	. Yeah it helps to be aware of constant pairs
02:54	that are basically the same except for voicing repeat after
02:59	me . Will say an invoiced consonant followed by a
03:02	voiced one . But but yeah . Yeah . Okay
03:14	good . Yeah . Uh huh . Mm . Yeah
03:27	. Mhm . Yeah . Yeah sure . Some pronunciation
03:42	resources talk about manner and place of articulation . That's
03:47	just a fancy way of saying how we make a
03:49	sound and where we make it , how and where
03:53	are key . Some sounds share the same manner .
03:57	Some sounds share the same place , Pronunciation books use
04:04	other terminology . That can be hard to remember so
04:08	many years ago , 2011 . To be exact ,
04:11	I proposed user friendly names for continent groups . Teachers
04:16	, please check out that E . L . T
04:18	. Post on my Wordpress blog . I'll put the
04:21	link in the video description right now . I'd like
04:24	to share those names because I think they'll help you
04:27	remember how continent sounds are made . We'll start with
04:33	the tie dyed group traditionally known as stops . We
04:37	stop the airflow and then release it 1st . We'll
04:43	use our lips repeat after me . No pie ,
04:51	but bye next . We'll use the tip of our
04:57	tongue and the tooth ridge that hard place behind your
05:01	upper teeth . 10 ty the die . Finally ,
05:14	we'll use the back of our tongue and the soft
05:17	palate . That's the soft place far back on the
05:20	roof of your mouth . Okay , coat good ,
05:29	goat repeat after me . Peggy wants to buy a
05:37	tie dyed T shirt . Yeah . Next we'll look
05:48	at the nose group traditionally known as nasal vowels .
05:52	If you pinch your nose , you can't say these
05:55	sounds properly because the air flows through your nose .
05:59	Hmm . Yeah . It just doesn't work . Repeat
06:08	after me first . We'll stop air from leaving our
06:11	mouth with our lips . Mm Seem we also used
06:19	our lips to say . And uh but that was
06:24	with the release of air through our mouth . With
06:29	we force the air to go through our nose .
06:31	We only open our mouth if there's a following vowel
06:35	sound as in me . Next , we'll stop the
06:42	air from going out of our mouth with the tip
06:45	of our tongue and the tooth ridge that hard place
06:48	behind our upper teeth . It's similar to how we
06:51	said . And the but again , there won't be
06:56	any release of air . Let the air go through
06:59	your nose when you say hmm . Seen . We
07:07	only open our mouth if we go into a following
07:10	vowel sound as in mm . Finally we use the
07:17	back of our tongue against the soft palate like we
07:21	did with and good . But we're going to hold
07:26	the contact and let the air flow through our nose
07:29	. Hmm . Sing repeat after me . Maddie knows
07:39	she can sing so she has her nose in the
07:42	air . Let's go on to the high vine group
07:55	traditionally known as the free captives parts of her mouth
07:59	come close together and air has to push its way
08:02	through . There's no stop , Only friction , repeat
08:08	after me first . We'll use our upper teeth against
08:12	our lower lip . Move the teeth to the inside
08:16	of your lip . Don't stop the air . Just
08:21	push the air out to create friction . Fine ,
08:29	add your voice , the vine . Next we'll use
08:37	the tip of our tongue and our upper teeth again
08:40	. Don't create a stop , push the air out
08:43	and create friction . Think add your voice . Uh
08:50	huh . Then now use the tip of your tongue
08:57	and the tooth ridge . Your tongue is behind your
09:00	upper teeth , close to that tooth ridge but not
09:04	touching it . Don't create a stop . Just push
09:07	the air through . Make a hissing sound for speech
09:12	. Sue , add your voice . Zero . Zoo
09:22	. Next use the front of your tongue and the
09:24	hard palate that's behind the tooth ridge . Watch the
09:28	position of my lips as well . I'm not creating
09:31	a stop . Just friction as I push out the
09:34	air . Mhm . Show , add your voice measure
09:47	. Finally there's the h sound . This is a
09:51	global sound which means it's made in our throat .
09:54	It's as simple as breathing out . We can hear
09:57	our breath but not our voice . Say hi ,
10:06	repeat after me . Show me the high vines .
10:11	I think I can measure them just fine . There's
10:23	a small group of continent sounds that I named the
10:26	chain group traditionally known as africa . It's their stop
10:31	, followed by some friction . Repeat after me .
10:35	Use the front of your tongue against the hard palate
10:38	. Remember where that is . You have your upper
10:41	teeth , tooth ridge , hard palate , soft palate
10:46	and then your throat . Use the front of your
10:48	tongue right now against the hard palate . Sure chain
10:56	. Now add your voice . Sure jane repeat after
11:05	me , jane chose a fancy chain . Yeah .
11:16	We have one last group to talk about the railway
11:20	group . Traditionally known as approximates . It's a big
11:24	word right , kind of looks like approximate , which
11:28	means nearly or close with these continents . Sounds parts
11:33	of our mouth come close together but never actually touch
11:37	. There's no stop and there's no friction . All
11:41	the continent sounds in the railway group are voiced .
11:45	You'll feel vibration repeat after me . Bring your lips
11:51	close together and then open them . Release into the
11:55	following vow . Sound . For what way for the
12:02	L . Sound . Use the tip of your tongue
12:05	against the tooth ridge , hold it there and let
12:08	the air flow along the sides of your tongue .
12:11	Oh your tongue can drop down into a following vowel
12:16	sound . Les for our as a continent sound ,
12:25	pull your tongue up and back toward the roof of
12:27	your mouth . Your lips can be pulled a little
12:30	forward , right Ray for the y sound . Make
12:38	the center of your tongue go up high and then
12:40	move forward . Yeah . Yes , repeat after me
12:49	. Yes . I would love to take a long
12:53	railway trip . Yeah . So that's the overview of
13:04	the 24 continents sounds in English . It's important to
13:08	say them clearly , but here's the final key .
13:11	I promised you More misunderstandings probably occur because of inaccurate
13:17	vowel sounds . That's why I built a whole playlist
13:20	on those 15 vowel sounds in English and I explained
13:24	each one in detail . I also feel that rhythm
13:30	and intonation play a strong role in accent training and
13:34	accent reduction . For that reason I devoted a whole
13:38	playlist to the intonation patterns in american english . So
13:44	what's my advice ? Practice ? The sounds , you
13:47	know , you need to improve to have more accurate
13:49	english but keep in mind there's a lot of practice
13:52	you can do at the word phrase and sentence level
13:56	. I go over linking in my fast speech series
13:59	. I pull everything together in my oral reading fluency
14:03	series . I'll put all useful links in the video
14:06	description . I also recommend the blue canoe self study
14:13	app for spoken english , especially pronunciation . They teach
14:19	you why word stress and valve sounds are so important
14:22	in spoken communication . I like their methodology and I
14:28	think you enjoy the learning experience . The first couple
14:32	of lessons on blue canoe are free and there's one
14:36	exercise type that allows you to practice 200 common words
14:39	in English . I have an affiliate code that you
14:43	can use if you want to check out the blue
14:45	canoe app , I'll put it in the video description
14:50	please also follow me on instagram . I focus on
14:53	listening and speaking and many of my free videos ,
14:56	their target specific pronunciation skills . We'll end here .
15:01	Please like and share this video if you found it
15:04	useful . As always . Thanks for watching and happy
15:08	studies . Follow me on facebook twitter and instagram and
15:14	try something new , download the app hollow and join
