As a non-native speaker desiring to have a better pronunciation, I really wished my teachers in school taught me this instead of the useless crap we wasted our time on. Everything can be understood better if you are given the tools to analytically reason about it. I don't know what would be the opinion of a native speaker, but to my ears you have the cleanest pronunciation I can imagine of AE. Every vowel sound you make is very intentional, deliberate and distinct from every other. I'll be listening to this video many times. Thanks a lot!

I though I had mastered the ε and the ae sounds, but then yesterday my roommate kept hearing me say mass when I meant mess. To say that it’s frustrating when people pay more attention to HOW I say things, instead of WHAT I say is an understatement. I don’t get vindication anymore when I show people that meme from Sophia Vergara that says, “you make fun of my accent... How cute! You speak only one language.” It also seems to fall on deaf ears when I tell people that I have to make a conscious effort to create these sounds that are not natural at all to me. I have to do this while learning a new culture that is equally hard to grasp, a culture with people that have no empathy/sympathy for my learning process. I appreciate this diagram of where in the tongue English and “natural vowels” are created. My native tongue is Brazilian Portuguese and I believe we use the natural vowels, so this diagram helps me compare them to English vowels, and maybe, hopefully, I can try to emulate them as close as possible, so that I don’t create confusion in peoples’ heads. I gave up on losing my accent a long time ago, but I cannot have people confused as to what I am saying. Thank you for your help.

Yes you are right, the æ at the beginning is common in the US (general American) and it’s different than how it’s pronounced in British English and even other dialects of American English .

@ADS_Fenix 4 жыл бұрын

Francisco Francisco The commonly used IPA transcriptions for diphthongs never match the way I say them with my general American pronunciation and the way I always hear them pronounced. Maybe they are valid in some dialect, as you said, but on various KZfaq channels and educational sites, I even hear people *say* the diphthongs as I do, but then give the IPA symbols that I swear are inconsistent, and I don’t understand. To me it goes further, because I’d argue the diphthongs in cow and go end in something closer to an /u/ sound. Not always exactly that, but certainly not /ʊ/. If you *actually* try to say the same vowel sound in “put” (which is said to be the sound symbolized by /ʊ/) as the last sound in “ow”, “cow”, or “go”, it sounds extremely bizarre because we don’t say that. The lips come far closer together in cow than in put. So when it comes to diphthongs, I genuinely don’t understand IPA notation at all. It drives me crazy because I swear I don’t hear the same sounds used in these diphthongs as everybody says, either in my own pronunciation or there’s, nor do I feel the same positions in my mouth during these diphthongs as I do saying the individual sounds they’re allegedly composed of. :s

@ADS_Fenix 4 жыл бұрын

Oh! In fact she herself did it here, just saw this part. At around 16:50 - 60 she’s saying /ou/ and says “from the /o/ to the /u/“ in her pronunciation but the board and subtitles say to the /ʊ/. But that is not the way she pronounces “put”! That would make it sound like “poot”! XD See this is what drives me crazy. I’m not criticizing her. Hadar, you’re my biggest inspiration for learning languages and pronunciation because your English is PERFECT and I was shocked when I first learned you’re not a native English-speaker. I’m just genuinely so perplexed as to why these IPA diphthong notations are used this way by teachers when they are certainly not composed of the same sounds as the ones those symbols represent on their own.

the funny thing is that that difference between the [ɔ] and the [ɑ] sound in the western dialects is that it is practically allophonic. Those that have the sound change can't actually hear the difference between these two sounds. So for those who wonder if their English dialect has actually undergone this sound change, listen to her say these two sounds and really pay attention. If they sound the same to you then you have it. If they sound different to you, then you don't have it. Personally I can't actually hear the difference. Good to know.

I was raised in California. For some reason, I say the word “off” with a slightly rounded sound, halfway between this video’s versions of daughter and the bottom right British, instead of with ɐ as in father. It’s not very noticeable, and closer to daughter and not as strong as the British ɒ. But it’s there. I did teach myself Spanish, and grew up with family with a strong Okie accent, plus have friends who speak various languages, so maybe it snuck in, or maybe I’ve always had it.

This lesson has been very useful for me. None of those vowel sounds are in my native language and it was confusing for me until now. Thank you very much!

It's great that you show the vowel chart! That'll make learning vowel easily when we known how our tounge works. I am learning linguistics in university and I love that chart! My teacher actually teached us how to read it (though it's a mandarin version) but you really make it simple. Nice work.

Teacher, I cannot understand how to tell if the pronunciation of the “u” sound have to be the first or the second one in a certain word: I mean, “room” has a similar spelling to “foot” or “look”, why do you pronounce it differently? How can I recognize the right pronunciation?

@chigozietruth 3 жыл бұрын

You can't recognize it. It's impossible. There are native English speakers who pronounce the "u" in "room" the same way as "foot." You just have to memorize the correct pronunciations. English pronunciation is difficult, and I'm a native speaker.

After looking through a few YT videos, most of which were British English, I finally found this comprehensive American English one. She builds and reviews the chart along the way, so you can get comfortable. At the end, like a good teacher, she does a final review to wrap things up neatly. Well done!
