Glad you like it!

Hi, here's help for how we typically spell those sounds: Vowel /ɪ/ (letter i): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrhlra92mbC0eWQ.html. Vowel /i/ (letters ee and ea): kzfaq.infoha6z3xxiZww

Yes, thanks for the suggestion, I can cover it in a video for you. It rhymes with "chance" and "dance."

Yes, it sounds like "theel" with voiceless TH /θ/ as in "think" and it rhymes with "feel."

Good suggestion, it sounds like "EK suh lint" and I can cover it for you in a future video.

Thanks for watching!

Thank for the information. Do you have any information on the correct native pronunciation? I found this about some possible origins of the name: Ethnographer John Reed Swanton wrote that Apalachee may have come from the Hitchiti language term for "people on the other side" or the Choctaw language word apelachi meaning "a helper."[4] It has sometimes been spelled Abalache, Abalachi, or Abolachi.[5} *4 Swanton, John R. (2003). The Indian Tribes of North America. Washington, DC: Smithsonian Institution. p. 122. ISBN 978-0-806317304. * 5 Clark, Patricia Roberts (21 October 2009). Tribal Names of the Americas: Spelling Variants and Alternative Forms, Cross-Referenced. McFarland. p. 10. ISBN 978-0-7864-5169-2. And this: Names: The name Apalachee comes from the language of their Hitchiti neighbors, and means "people on the other side." Their original name for themselves was never recorded; it's possible that Apalachee people normally identified themselves by their village name, as many Southeastern people did, rather than using a special name to refer to their tribe in general. They were also sometimes known as San Luis Indians, after the name of the Spanish fort based in their territory, Mission San Luis de Talimali. Tribal descendants today call themselves Apalachees. Alternate spellings of this name include Appalachi, Apalache, Appalachee, and Apalachi.

Also, on a side note, "misinformation" means incorrect or misleading information. It is not incorrect to say that there are many ways that people pronounce this name, and while I do agree that it is best practice to find and use the original names when possible, even the name "Apalachee" is another tribe's name for the native peoples from the area, not their own name. Words, names, language and pronunciation all change over time, because they are used by people, and people make mistakes, mistakes become a new correct way of speaking, and communication evolves. We often don't like it when it comes to things that are in flux and we know what we consider the "correct" way, but if you look at any language over time, it is not a static thing.

Hi, "day cor" is also a correct pronunciation, and it's actually a bit closer to the French pronunciation /ˈdeˌkor/.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi, thanks for your comment. Some other words with /ɑ/ + r instead of /ɔr/ are "borrow, sorrow, sorry, tomorrow." We also have a lot of words with "or" that have the /ər/ sound like "word" or "information." Also some where we have /əˈr/ like "original" and "correct."

@@SpeechModification thank you so much, Christine! You’ve helped me a lot ❤️❤️❤️

I think there are many ways you will hear this word said. Your way isn't in the dictionary, but it's probably used by some speakers.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. You might find this video for linking TH to be helpful: kzfaq.infoYMbuJXKn7jc. Also our full TH playlist:kzfaq.info/sun/PLJXFLCasjYl6y4EZt5fR-uajcdgKIHgPS

Yes, you're correct - the tongue drops down after the /n/ to make the vowel sound, and there will be vibration for both /n/ and the vowel because they are voiced sounds.

@@SpeechModification but the tongue pull back a little bit to make "a" as in 'not"? Right?

The tongue is mostly just down but it should be open in the back for this vowel. Here's more on this topic: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n51ko5abp8W5lJ8.html

French would be "A poh stee" /ˈæposti/

Hi, it's the "short I" /ɪ/ as in "big" or "in."

Hi, thank you for your support. I'm not sure about the resources for grade 1 books, I suggest a google search to narrow down your results. I found a lot of good sites when I searched on "grade one curriculum usa."
