01 Mar 2022How to Pronounce Good, Look & Foot | #10100:26:22

The spelling of English words doesn't always give us a clear indication of the pronunciation. Many people learned at a young age that |Oo| spelling makes a moving, "ihw" sound 100% of the time. While this is often the case, |Oo| sometimes requires no movement of the lips. We see this with dozens of common, everyday words and expressions. 
Listen along here and better understand the difference between words like "Luke" and "Look", and work this sound into your own daily English words and expressions!

08 Mar 2022How to Pronounce V Sounds | #10200:26:26

Few languages use the English V sound, and so it's very common to replace it with a sound from one's first language. Most often, I notice students use an English B, W or F sound in place of a V. This can lead to mixing-up one's words altogether, so don't miss a second of this episode, and get a good grasp on the V sound with me here!

18 Mar 2022Change "For" for "Fer" for Clear Stress! | #10300:23:20

Words that we use for grammar aren't often keywords. We reduce these grammar words, and link them to surrounding words. "For" is an ideal example of this, and can casually be reduced to a quick and quiet "fer" sound for our speech stress. Listen all the way through to get a confident grasp on this concept for yourself!

While many consonant sounds are generally shared through all accents, vowel sounds help us to determine specific regions that people may be from.

"What's your least favorite music genre?" Charlotte asked her fiancé.

"I can't stand today's pop music. That genre's full of generic garbage, there's no imagination anymore." George replied without hesitation. 

"I had no idea you were such a connaisseur of popular culture," Charlotte smiled, rolling her eyes. 

"A pop connaisseur! I'll add that to my resumé." I may not be an expert, but I know good music when I hear it!"
This felt like deja vu to George, but he had no problem with that. He enjoyed his lunch-time rendez vous (rendezvous) at the café with his fiancée. Her sarcasm made their dialogue a pleasant escape from his mundane schedule. 

"We should check out the new salad buffet that opened,"  Suggested Charlotte enthusiastically.  "we've got to start a diet to prepare for the big day! It's time to say bon voyage to cheese and bread, and hello to carrots and tomatoes." 

"I heard that  buffet has valet parking. It's quite exquisite for a salad bar, is it in our budget?" Inquired George. 

"It's just a petite expense to ensure we're healthy, you can't put a price on that!"

27 Apr 2022How Ng (ŋ) Ending Sounds are Made | #11200:22:12

Some of the most common sounds in English speech don't exist in every language. To make up for this difference, many people pronounce English words with movements more familiar to them. While the sound they make may be similar to the English sound, it will likely impact other sounds around it, and control is lost of one's speech and accent.

The ng combination is a prime example of this, considering the sound made and the position used is not reflected in the word's spelling.

Practice along with me with a series of short phrases and tongue twisters to get used to the "ng" nasal sound as a word endings!

When American English speakers tell you, "I'm down", they're not referring to their emotion, but rather their interest. They expressing that they WANT to participate in whatever you may be doing.

15 Jul 2022How to Pronounce "Of" for Clearer Connected Speech | #12400:21:04

Have you ever wondered what subtle changes you can make to your spoken English to close the gap between yourself and native English speakers? Learning how to pronounce "of" and use it to connect your speech can really help you on this mission!
The pronunciation of of changes depending on both the context, and the word following of. Considering this is an unstressed function word, we keep the word of quick, short, and use it to connect words.
Of is either pronounced as uv, or uh,  with a schwa sound, but never "off".
