    I came here trying to see how Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode) pronounces the S's so well, but after watching this video I realized that he actually pronounces the letter that comes before the S! Like the T in ghosts. That was all the magic!
    (el español es mi idioma y con el inglés, si bien lo entiendo, dejo mucho que desear en pronunciacion)

    Aaaahhhhhh! YEARS spent trying to get the Ts and the Ks in those words! And still sound as close to native as possible. My gut kept telling me "there's no T!", finally someone admitted it out in the open! Thank you!!

      also with the past tense pronunciation. I've always been taught when to pronounce past tense /t/, /d/, or /ed/ but I hear many times some word endings which supposed to be pronounced as /t/ be pronounced as /d/. The mainstream English drives me crazy.

    I have auditory processing disorder AND hearing problems. English is my first and only language. However, nuanced sounds have been a challenging experience to say the least. Thank you for this video! I some times “forget” how to pronounce sounds because I cannot hear/differentiate them on a daily basis. Thanks again!!!!!

    @thomasycl 13 років тому

    I suddenly think of sth more challenging based on this principle So how do we pronounce words like "two sixths"? Do we simply pronounce it like /two six/? Also, 4 words ending in "p" in the singular form like wasp; when we do the plural (ie. wasps), does the same principle apply here?
    Yet another question, how do we distinguish "have a cookie" and "half a cookie" ? They sound quite similar if stress is not considered. Also, other pairs of voiced and unvoiced letters can b quite confusing too

    Thanks so much, I've looking for this for years
    By the way, Maybe you should add "plural" into your video's description to make it much easier for us to look for
