I have never used a dictionary app on Android, but I find the web based Cambridge Dictionary displays well on mobile and is free. Love ❤️& 🕊️Peace. Liz
This is interesting. When I was growing up, the word 'diphthong' was pronounced as you do (dip-thong) but recently I've head 'diff-thing' a lot more. Has there been a shift?
Plz teacher.i'm from Morocco i have a problem with the pronunciation of the article an before nouns it's too difficult for me to prounce can you help me
I am researching this at the moment. I want to deliver a course that engaging and easy to learn and different from the other courses, so it's taking a bit of time. Love ❤️ & 🕊 Peace. Liz
Is 'O' really a diphthong? I just did some waveform analysis research which indicates that 'O' is usually a monophthong. That's the latest video on my channel.
*Oh no or /əʊ nəʊ/!!! * In standard British RP they are definitely diphthongs. Of course it depends on the accent and spoken English is evolving all the time that you probably could rewrite the IPA every year and have hundreds of different charts, * Love ❤️ & 🕊 Peace. Liz*
@@EnglishwithLiz I agree about the IPA. I'm not impressed with it. The Upsilon character represents the vowel in book, put & shook but the beautiful 'O' is a diphthong of /ou/ in General American and /əu/ in RP. The less beautiful 'O' is a monophthong. It doesn't matter whether you use the diphthong or the monophthong, as they will both be perceived as the same word or sound. Only a trained ear might discern whether a speaker used the monophthong or the diphthong version. You will find 'O' on the IPA Vowel Chart with sounds on Wikipedia. That chart only has monophthongs.
I couldn't find a vowel chart for General American English that was both accurate and complete, so I made one myself. I can't post a link to it here but it's in the video descriptions on my channel. The International vowel chart with sounds on Wikipedia, is just not healthy sounding. It features speakers from all over the world and, seemingly, none from the USA. The audio samples feature speakers that are pronouncing monophthongs like diphthongs and variating volume, pitch and smoothness throughout their much too brief pronunciation. Frankly, they don't know what they're doing. Well, you need to visit my chart, to see the difference.
After analysing the waveforms in a waveaudio editor, of several renditions of the word boat, taken from dictionaries, as well my own (General American since birth), I can tell you that we generally say 'boat' thusly: /bʌoʊt/. The Stop T shuts down the transition to 'oo' /u/ before we get there but our brains seem to perceive that we do/did get there, but we only got to /ʊ/. It's more likely that we get to a full /u/ in a word like 'Oh' rather than words like 'boat', 'coat' or 'soap'.
@@7MPhonemicEnglish yeah it does sounds like Monopthong. I reckon coz the/ ə/ sound is longer Which makes /ʊ/ sound like a tail of it. Nevertheless, to my ears and abd also in RP / O/ isn't clearly a Monopothong coz of it's slight quality of diphthong. I don't think standard british accent speaker would call it monophothong. Anyway, to my ear, In normal or fast speech I would argue that mant times this gives complete or almost a quality of monophthong. I suppose they are little lazy or find it hard to move towards/ ʊ/ or /ʊ:/all the time. It probably depends on speaker to speaker in RP accent as well.
@@EnglishwithLiz Oh, God ! You are amazing soul for real. Never ever expected you would reply to me out of a flood of comments. You do have sweet personality and smart mind. What a combination! Dear, Liz, if you think 100% of your viewers love you, I am 99%. Sincerely yours, Mekasha Kebede from Ethiopia
A very useful lesson, but Professor Liz, don't you think it's time for grammar? It took us a very long time to practice pronunciation, and I swear to you that I mastered all 44 sounds very well. By entering your channel, we find more than 3 or 4 lessons for one sound that show well the method of pronunciation. The format of the lessons has become boring because it has become constantly repetitive and repetitive. 🙄🙄🙄
Hi Jambo. Hope you are well. I'm glad you have mastered the pronunciation, but there are so many out there who struggle. Grammar mmm, never been my favourite subject, so I just don't think I would produce good enough videos if my heart was not in it. Also I'm trying to devise a new type of pronunciation course - think TikTok meets Skillshare, that is taking a lot of time. Anyway, let me know a grammar subject you need help with and maybe I'll give it a try. Love ❤️ & 🕊 Peace. Liz
@@EnglishwithLiz My dear teacher, Liz, you know that I have been following you for a long time, and I have watched almost all of your rich and useful lessons, and I have benefited a lot. I thought that you had started a pronunciation course, and after that we would learn the grammar together, until we reach the level of professionalism. I thought it was a course. It starts with pronunciation and ends with grammar, but unfortunately, as it appears from your comment, you have no desire to continue with grammar, and this is a very sad thing for me because you are the only one who was able, and I say this without compliments, to make me understand the English language clearly. All the teachers on UA-cam were not able to. To deliver the information to me in the same way that you use, and even all the books that I bought such as: 1 English in use or 2 understanding and using English grammar, or even the book by Professor Michael Swan did not provide me with anything unfortunately, and I regret that I will stop here and will not continue because the pronunciation alone cannot make me speak without learning the grammar. Finally, I cannot give you one or two grammar topics so that you can explain them to me, because I do not understand anything in the grammar at all 🙄🙄🙄, and to respond here to your comments I use Google translate 🙄🙄🙄 This is The truth, honestly, and I'm not ashamed to say it 😁.
