Introduction to Articulatory Phonetics (Vowels)

In this video, we focus on how linguists describe vowel sounds, in particular in North American English.
For more videos, visit enunciate.arts.ubc.ca. You will also find ultrasound videos and animated diagrams of sounds through the clickable phonetic alphabet chart.

I have to say that your explanation is just extraordinary. Brief and straightforward to the point. It's more useful than a lecture of two hours addressing the same topic. Thank you a bunch and keep it up.

[@sakurasuzuki9575]

I’m a singer/vocal/diction coach and I find this extremely helpful.
I teach a Japanese choir and there are so many prominent differences in vowels.
There’s so much sensory stuff involved and it frustrates me that singing teachers don’t always know or use the accurate explanation as to what is happening physiologically. Thank you so much!

[@grepgrok8735]

As a kid with a passing interest in phonetics and linguistics, this has to be one of the most interesting and useful explanations I have found for vowels

[@thelavagod]

So I'm not the only kid with massive interest in linguistics

That's the first time I understand the position of the tongue in the IPA. Really, the best explanation. Thank you so much!

This is far educative and better than anything I have learned in a physical classroom.

this is so way too better than my real teacher

[@DisgruntledPigumon]

"Way too better?”
You should say:
“This is so much better than what my real teacher teaches.”
Or
“You are so much better than my real teacher.”
Saying “this” compared to a person is not correct. “This” refers to a thing, people are not things. You must compare a thing to another thing, or a person to another person.

Actually I'm Asian and I'm learning how to pronounce or to have an accent but I can't get what they teaching me so I search pronounce and there's somethings that can help a little bit but your lesson are so lit and I have fun for this first session. Everytime I'm talking I never observe my mouth so thank you for letting me appreciate my mouth. Huhu thanks a lot.

[@jeniferlarson-hall784]

I think this is a very well-done video, but I wonder why you don't talk about tenseness or laxness? Using only the three categories introduced here, [i] and [ɪ] will both be described as high front unrounded vowels so there will be no way to distinguish between them in English.

[@Wiizardin]

Amazing and incredible easy to understant!

[@luisahoffmann882]

this is great! just wish you would talk about tenseness also

[@ameralomari5922]

That is very useful. Thank you soo much the animation was superb. I was really confused from 2d drawings as they show that the tip of the tongue is stationary and the tongue itself moves that was so difficult to do and gave me soo much pain. but after watching this I think that the location of the tip of the tongue is wat determines if the vowel is anterior or posterior .

how is the backness of the [a] ?

[@emjay012387]

great video. but why do you put the vowels in square brackets? e.g., when talking about roundedness.

[@lillylilly18]

Super helpful - thanks!

[@SuperSilverTrees]

It would be great if the english used a phonetic alphabet. Maybe it would have more characters, but at least it would be so much easier to read and write correctly. You wouldn't have to struggle with spelling of the words, since you would know it 99% of the time just based on the sound. Any non native speaker would at least know how to read and pronounce words more or less correctly. (It would also help with lot of French and other words implemented in English as their pronunciation dosen't seem to follow any rules..).
