English is a spoken language and if you’re an English student it’s important that you move beyond basic written fluency to English speaking fluency. When you’re speaking English an important part of sounding like a native American English speaker is understanding-and not pronouncing!-silent letters. In this video I’ll help you get tons of speaking practice with English words that have silent letters. American English gets its unique sound, in part, from these non-sounds! If you’re trying to learn how to speak English like a native speaker it’s these kinds of pronunciation lessons that make a big difference. As you’re learning English speaking I can help you with all the sounds in American English, including these omitted sounds. English speaking presents you with quite a challenge: you need to learn English sounds AND non-sounds! My students often make speaking mistakes because they assume that every letter is voiced in English. But that’s not the case. English speaking fluency, in fact, has more to do with the sounds you leave out-these silent letters and other common reductions-than what’s printed on the page. Let’s get to work!

My dad was always quick to correct me whenever I mispronounced a word. He also loved to point out that for every rule there are many exceptions. He taught me that American English is a very complex language. He also pointed out the differences between American and British English. I was very blessed to have parents who taught me well. I think that is less common today. Parents don’t place the emphasis and importance on language. I believe our language is changing as a result. My great grandchildren may speak differently than my parents did. Your channel is such a wonderful resource. It should be recommended to all who are not native English speakers.

When it comes to the A rule, you can tell when a word has a silent "A" if it ends in the suffix "-ally". In your examples, "legally" and "vocally", the root word ends in al already, "legal" and "vocal". If the root word ends in "al", then the "A" is spoken. Examples: Total/Totally, Lateral/Laterally, etc. If the word has "-al" suffix, then you attach "-ly" at the end of that, then the "A" is silent. Examples: Abdominal/Abdominally, Magical/Magically, etc.

@tompeled6193 4 жыл бұрын

0:46 These words are sometimes misspelled as "logicly". Adjective that end in "c" (basic) take this suffix instead of -ly (basically). 2:56 The B in these words wasn't originally there. It was added to highlight the words' Latin etymology. 3:59 It's not silent in any of these words except "muscle". C makes /s/ before E, I, or Y. 5:23 D is silent in these words because not pronouncing them is easier (ellision). 6:27 The D is redundant because J is two sounds: dzh. 9:47 */ˈkæ.feɪ/ The word is often written as "café" because it's preserving the diacritics of its French origin. 11:08 The G was originally pronounced there but disappeared. 12:04 In British English, the H in "herb" is pronounced. I pronounce it despite being American.

I've been enjoying watching your videos this evening. I realize they're made for non-native English speakers, so fortunately I know how to pronounce most of the words. LOL. (That was in the video "14 Words Americans Pronounce Wrong) But in this video I was a bit surprised to hear you say that the 'd' is silent in words like sandwich, sandpaper, soundproof, landmark, and windmill. I have always pronounced the d in those words. And I haven't noticed many people that don't pronounce them like that. I have heard children say "samwich". But they usually grow out of that. My mother used to say "sammich" because she thought she was funny. 😁 The silent d must have something to do with what part of the country you come from. I have also never heard that the second f in "fifth" was supposed to be silent, I say "fifth" with two f's. I always assumed people that don't pronounce the 2nd f just have a hard time with that sound combination. 😊

Probably something like half the language is not of English origin, but that depends on what exactly one means by "English". Does "Old English" count? The English language has lots of French in it (much because of the Norman invasion of 1066 A.D., which ironically has the nice effect that I can understand many words in written French simply because I know English. English also has a couple of thousand words or more that are derived from Old Norse. (That means ancient Scandinavian, and this is because of viking invasions as well as direct rule of the British islands by Denmark a millenium ago.) Examples include everyday English words such as "husband" (Old Norse "husbondi", literally "house farmer"; and window means "wind eye"). Another example is "bag", from Old Norse "baggi".

DAMN! I like this channel(her) and am irritated by it (her) as well. “Love/dislike?” Ok....

It's a great tip for sounding more natural! Are you able to mimic the sound?

Sounds like lyrics for a new rap song titled "When the T is dropped" (marked "Contains explicit language") by the fictitious artist "Big T"): "Yo, yo, dropping the T. My homies say, just drop the T! I say, what is it to you? Bitches, niggas, hoes - here comes the T-dropping pimp! Just get a clue! I said I'm dropping the T! (Boom. Boom. Boom.) Drop! The! T!" [Female voices:] "We love it when the T is dropped! We love it when the T is dropped! Aha, aha! Mmm. Mmm. We love it when the T is dropped!", and so on. :-)

You are amazing! Thanks. I realized that after living in this country for so long, I'm still not aware of certain silent vowels.
