    0:47 It's pronounced /ɹɪˈsiːt/. The silent P was never pronounced in English. It was just added to highlight the word's Latin etymology.
    1:12 It's pronounced /ˈsæmən/. Again, the silent L was just added to highlight the word's Latin etymology. It is sometimes pronounced in Southern American English.
    1:37 It's pronounced /ˈmʌsəl/. The C would be a double letter if the word were spelled "muscel."
    2:01 It's pronounced /ˈæz(ð)mə/. The TH-sound was deleted because it was hard to pronounce.
    2:22 It's pronounced /ˈɑnɪst/. The H was never pronounced in English; however, it was pronounced in French before English loaned the word.
    2:39 It's pronounced /ˈaʊ̯ɚ/. The silent H has the same story as "honest"’s.
    2:57 It's pronounced /ˈsʌtəl/. Its silent B has the same story as "receipt"’s silent P.
    3:07 We can't spell it as "suddle" because that would be unfair to accents without t-flapping. "Suttle" would be better.
    3:28 It's pronounced /daʊ̯t/. Its silent B has the same story as "subtle"’s.
    3:50 It's pronounced /dɛt/. Again, its silent B has the same story as "subtle"’s.
    4:08 It's pronounced /ɛd͡ʒ/. And no, the D is not silent: it's a double letter. The J sound is actually two sounds: D, then ZH.
    4:49 It's pronounced /ˈhændsəm/. The D is not silent here. Only in fast speech it is deleted.
    5:03 It's pronounced /ˈsændwɪt͡ʃ/. Again, the D is not silent here. Only in fast speech it is deleted.
    5:14 It's pronounced /ˈwɛnzdeɪ̯/. The first D and second E were once pronounced in English. Eventually, they disappeared from the word.
    5:41 It's pronounced /ˈɛkoʊ̯/. CH makes the K-sound when it comes from the Greek Χ.
    6:02 These words are pronounced (from top to bottom) /kʊd/, /wʊd/, then /ʃʊd/. The L was originally pronounced, then it became silent. The OU represented /u/, which eventually became Modern English /ʊ/.
    6:25 It's pronounced /hæf/. Again, the L was originally pronounced, then it disappeared.
    6:43 It's pronounced /wɔːk/. Again, the L was originally pronounced, then it disappeared.
    6:59 It's pronounced /ˈɹæzbɛɹi/. It comes from earlier _raspis berry,_ which had a P.
    7:22 It's pronounced /aɪ̯l/. The silent S, like many silent letters, was added to highlight the word's Latin etymology.
    7:46 It's pronounced /ˈaɪ̯lənd/. Again, the silent S, like many silent letters, was added to highlight the word's Latin etymology.
    8:20 That's just schwa-deletion in connected speech.

      @ClearEnglishCorner  4 роки тому +1

      The air is indeed stopping in my throat to mark the T sound there- excellent listening! The tip of the tongue could be up behind the top, front teeth or down behind the bottom front teeth. It typically depends on the sound that comes next. :)

    Hello! I have a question about American accent. Is it correct not to turn " T "sound into "d" sound when it comes between two voules such as water, better, daughter and etc? Please answer my question and thank you so much.

  • @nelsonlui4417
    @nelsonlui4417 4 роки тому

    Dear coach,
    Regarding the sound of "rd"at the end of a word and followed by next word beginning with a consonant, should the "d" be pronounced or become silent? For example, I heard some say "
    third floor" as [θɝ flor]--the"d"becoming silent, and some say"hard life" as [hard life]--the[d] still be pronounced?
