Are you sure "tree" is officially transcribed like that? I can only find phonemic transcriptions of the word, but I don't think native speakers actually pronounce it with [tʃ]. I tried myself pronouncing the word, and my tongue is not in the palato-alveolar area of my mouth, but the alveolar area. However, I'm not a native person. I can't be 100% sure... Any thoughts anyone? Thanks for the videos by the way. Really useful and interesting!!
Some native speakers (most probably Americans) would indeed use a palato-alveolar affricate in these words. Another way (more British, and a much more intresting one, in my opinion), is a phonetic affricate [tɹ̠̝̊], where [ɹ̠̝̊] stands for a voiceless postalveolar non-sibilant fricative. There's also a voiced counterpart, like in "drain" [dɹ̠̝eɪn].
You are absolutely right, if /tr/ were to pronounce like/tʃ/, no foreigners would struggle with it at the first place, and everyone would sound native when pronouncing dry and try.
As a speaker of British English I don't think i would say 'tree' like that, at least not all the time. That is a point actually, are these representing sounds as they happen in a flow of speech at normal speed, or as said individually, because that makes a difference.
The way you write æ is confusing. I had to look through my dictionary if there was an IPA symbol I had missed. æ is made with a lowercase a and e combined, ae=æ, but the way you write it makes it look like 2 and e. Also there is some visual errors on the video. Some fram stuttering with green frame inbetween. Other than that, great videos. Very helpful!
HELLO HELLO its the middle of night and i am watching your video in 2023 and really i want to think you ! u did a great job , i hope you're doing well 🥰
These are excellent videos. The way that you pronounce “tree” is interesting, especially because you said that it is likely the way that most native English speakers pronounce it. I’m from the northeast of the United States, and I’ve been repeating the word and cannot, for the life of me, find a “ch” sound in there. I definitely enunciate the “t” without the “ch” sound. I don’t know if this is regional or particular to me, though.
Thank you a lot for your efforts due to is really interesting and helpful to us like a students in English department at university specially linguistics major thank you again.
Yes, I tend to vary from pronouncing 'tree' with a [tr] and [tʃ], but whereas the latter is an affricate (and could therefore serve as a phoneme), the former consists of two sounds, so [tr] couldn't in and of itself be a phoneme.
Wow that's impressive. Actually my finals start tomorrow and it's my first year in college and I've been suffering a lot with linguistics😅 but thankfully I've found your channel! Thank you!! Love from Egypt.
Thanks. I am in April 2020. The World is suffering Coronavirus. Your explanation is useful to me. Because I am going to teach Contrastive Linguistics this semester, and my students should remember about this basis of language.
Hi Mostapha. I only have a 3 part series on phonetics here on UA-cam, but you might also check out the videos on phonetics on the UBC Visible Speech channel. They're all Free!
Hi Abatne. Articulatory phonetics involves the study of how sounds are produced in the vocal tract (these are what my videos address). Auditory phonetics involves the study of the perception of speech sounds, and acoustic phonetics involves the study of the properties of speech sounds themselves (e.g., amplitudes, frequencies).
Excellent video (with some technical problems). So, we want more. All of them are useful and very good explained. Please keep on.

depends on which country you're from.. Britains wouldn't do that! Americans would i guess..

This video is the same. Horrible flickering green flashes. Maybe you could correct them and re upload ithem? They really make it unpleasant to watch.
You are the best professor

It's possibly an older style of writing
Muito bom. Parabéns, Professor. Apredi bastante.
I wrote in portuguese, my mother tongue.

HELLO HELLO its the middle of night and i am watching your video in 2023 and really i want to think you ! u did a great job , i hope you're doing well 🥰
V.clear😍
You should add : in /i/ at the end of 'tree' there

Hello! Yes, I suppose this will vary from speaker to speaker, and to further complicate matters, [tʃ] and [tɹ] sound very similar to one another!
A smart way of teaching thank you so much
And thanks to people in comments to make clarification
It all helps non native english speakers
Thanks to you I actually understood Phonetics. Thank you so much
Wonderful: the explanation and the accent!Thank you.
thank you so much , i really found your lessons helpful

Thank you. This video was very helpful!
[tʃ] or [tr]? I myself pronounce it differently, and all dictionaries list [tr] as a different phoneme or IPA letter than [tʃ].

Tri:
Can u explain how they r different?
British English speaker?
That's so amazing
❤❤ 0:03
Tree /tri:/
or [ʧɹi]
i have followed macmillan dictionary
awesome
THANK YOU!!
very nice video for english learner
Courage Sir I like your teaching..... Very simple and understandable.
what's the different between when we put / and [ ?
/ / - phoneme and [ ] allophones or phones
I learned that /e/ is a single vowel sound, not a diphthong...It is a mid fron tense vowel. the same thing happens with /o/
You are correct that /e/ and /o/ are monopthongs/single vowels; as the diphthongs using those vowels are written /eɪ/ and /oʊ/, respectively.
@@evanashworth490 but they're not part of a diphthong when you say "go". Therefore, the transcription must be /go/
@@josecarrizo4778 Actually, native English speakers will most likely say [goʊ], but, for example, L2 English speakers often say [go].
Fantastic and academic guy .. shout out to you 💪
Brilliant video, thank you
Thank you so much Mr.Evan your videos are so useful **
That was really useful
Thank you very much.
Now I'm watching in 2020
great
Thank you so much professor
You are a good teacher.
Can I buy the whole series?

@@evanashworth490 thnks alot mr Evan.
Your videos are excellent!
very useful!
Awesome 👌
what up next..
Hello My best teacher teacher con you please help me to explain me the different between articulatory auditory and acoustic phonetic
Hi Abatne. Articulatory phonetics involves the study of how sounds are produced in the vocal tract (these are what my videos address). Auditory phonetics involves the study of the perception of speech sounds, and acoustic phonetics involves the study of the properties of speech sounds themselves (e.g., amplitudes, frequencies).
Thank you si much My best teacher
Thanks! Learned a lot!
Thanks Evan.
This just relived a lot of my stress
I'm sorry that my video made you relive stress in your life!
@@evanashworth490 oh sorry I meant relieve 😂
Thankfully for your wonderful explanation
