  • www.engvid.com/ Learn the difference in pronunciation between A and O vowel sounds in English. Hear the difference between words like cat, sack, and caps, and words like cot, sock, and cops. If you know the International Phonetic Alphabet, the sounds I'll be teaching in this lesson are æ and ɑ. If you don't know the IPA, don't worry!

    Sudoku Guy is certainly an exceptional teacher with an excellent command of the subject he is teaching in a nice and interesting way. I have been trying to follow his lessons one on a day with the cardinal numbers running riot into my head at the end. Even then the charm of the Sudoku Guru gets eloquent to a man 72 years old day by day.

    Ok, I love Ronnie, but girl!! *THIS VIDEO IS SUPER CONFUSING* The North American accent is a hot mess and varies so much that you can literally find 50 videos on UA-cam of teachers contradicting one another. Ronnie is Canadian and it shows. Ok, so let me break this down: at 0:55 she's saying / ə / for "A," which is how you pronounce the indefinite article, then she says / o / for "O" 0:58. THEN for some reason, after introducing those two sounds, she switches from / o / to / ɑ / at 1:21. At 1:34 she says that she'll tackle the / æ / words first, but she actually pronounces those with the open front unrounded vowel / a / sound instead 1:51. Also, "Dan" sounds like /dɛːn / 1:55. The vowel she uses in words like 'hot' and 'Don' is actually the open back rounded vowel / ɒ / - this is very Canadian 3:13. Americans are more likely to use either / ä / or / ɑ / which has no lip rounding. This is why it's good to know IPA because English spelling doesn't tell you anything about pronunciation and can only lead to further confusion because dialects vary a lot.

  • @7MPhonemicEnglish
    @7MPhonemicEnglish 3 роки тому +6

    Bag, Dan & cat are 3 different vowel sounds. Bag has a diphthong of \æ\ followed by \ɪ\ or the short A followed by \ee\. Cat, rat, back etc, all have just the \æ\ sound. Whenever the \æ\ is followed by an
    \ or \m\ consonant, we English speakers automatically change the vowel to a very high tongue position monophthong that the IPA whiffed on, I mean, they missed it, I mean, they gave it NO character😄

    Gracias por este video! justamente estoy estudiando un libro de pronunciacion y tengo muchas dudas con estos sonidos! porque con el libro al escuchar los sonidos realmente no puedo notar ninguna diferencia, aunque todavia necesito practicar mas porque no entiendo muy bien palabras como: cat/cut/cot* cap/cup/cop *ran/run/ron* Sack/suck/sock* Dan/done/don, el problema es que en Español solo tenemos 5 vocales y un sonido especifico para cada una de ellas. el ingles es muy dificil :(

  • @Robinicat
    @Robinicat 6 років тому +18

    Ronnie, there's a mistake. You started off by saying the letter symbol sounds and you said that the letter 'O' is pronounced 'oh' but that's not so. Your O words are AW (as in rot...not rOte) which is the usual pronunciation of the letter O....as in HOT, COT etc..as you showed afterwards.

    • @fredericroy
      @fredericroy 5 років тому

      it depends on the language : British or American English? But it is not an O /ɔː/ as in "short". It's the /ɒ/ sound in British and /ɑ/ sound in American English. All the sounds here : www.macmillanenglish.com/pronunciation/interactive-phonemic-charts/
