Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- 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.
Best English teacher! I am learning a lot from your lessons. Thanks Ronnie😘

Gostei da aula professora, explicou muito bem sobre a difrerença dessas vogais com sons parecidos. Conseguir entender melhor com sua explicação; e melhor ainda quando você compara as duas palavras, isto ajuda muito.

Love your teaching technique Ms Ronni
Ronnie is a great English teacher. Thank you .
so amazing teaching is! I think every listener enjoy a lot & never get bored.
Heheh I had problem with pronunciation of A and O when I was beginner in English but now I can compare between them . Any way thank you ronni best teacher ever LoL
U r teaching style is very beautiful...I'm impressed
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😄
Great teacher . Thank you so much !
I am learning!
Thank you very much! It is very useful for me Chinese beginner !

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 :(
U are very good teacher 💐💐🌹🌹

Hi... congrats for ur teaching, ur a very gd teacher. im 16 yrs old, i lived in london for about 3 years nd, I live in colombia right now, nd a high school here offered me to be they're english teacher, from 6 to 11th grade, nd i was wondering if u could give me some topics on what i can teach to the lil' ones nd the big ones... :D thank you
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.
Robin May I ask what accent of English she is teaching?
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/
Nice and simple - thanks. Using this to help my newly adopted 13 year old boy 'get it'!
The “boing” tho 😂😂😂
ahahah English is funny!
Would is more formal than will when you ask someone to do something for you!
Your boss is using very, very polite language to ask you to so something!
