    I have been learning English for many years, but my teachers have never taught me these 44 phonetics. I learned these phonetics through this video. I am hopeful that I will learn them fast. Thank You!

    I find this information extremely useful, as a spanish speaker I'm impressed that our schools actually dont teach this, its not even hard and its like the basics to be able to pronounce correctly any language.

    • @alahiri2002

      Right? I feel like this should be a compulsory part of the curriculum from a very young age, well before students are learning an auxiliary language at school.

      they don’t really teach that because the students might get scared after seeing so many symbols, but i do agree that it’s very useful. i’m trying to learn them rn because i want to become an english teacher and it’s pretty complicated now that im older 😅

    • @Kozirr
      @Kozirr 4 місяці тому +1

      Hey bro! Completely agree with you there, just wanna say that its more like ‘pronounce any language correctly’ than ‘correctly’ being before ‘any’. Some weird adverbial rule

    Great video to explain the IPA to beginners, but there are a few mistakes:
    -The ŋ does not include the "g"-sound at the end.
    -There's no i in the transcription of 'ship', but an ɪ without a dot, while in sheep the i: should have a dot.
    -You're coupling up vowels in short-long pairs, but those pairs aren't actually related: i, u, ɑ, and ɔ all exist as short vowels too, though not necessarily in standard English pronunciation. They are produced very differently than ɪ, ʊ, æ and ɒ respectively. You can easily test this by checking how your mouth does completely different things for the vowels in e.g. words like foot and goose.

    Thank you so much, I think I'm beginning to become a grammar nerd! I could geek out on grammar for hours. I speak three languages, but struggled with my third which forced me to learn grammar now I'm hooked, on tenses, verbs (modal auxiliaries), and now phonetics. This is only the beginning, Grammer is like a drug to me now!

    Hi Master! I am from Ethiopia. really it was very fantastic lesson. since I am English as a foreign language teacher it is directly connected with my career. even though I thought English for so many years, phonetic transcription was difficult for me to teach my students. I know I am poor in English but I am still hungry to communicate fluently with it. I expect so many things from you.

    Thank you. I’m 73, so we learned the old phonetics. I learned a lot from this. But I think I’ll only use it when looking up words in another language, such as Italian or French, and I will still use my Oxford English Dictionary (1968) phonetics for any English word I need help with to pronounce.

  • @Android25K
    @Android25K Рік тому +45

    It's so cool that an international pronunciation alphabet exists. If one were to learn how to pronounce all the sounds in it, one would be able to read aloud any word in any accent of any language, as long as a native or a speaker of the language can translate it to the IPA

    It needs to be pointed out there is a huge difference between British (especially Cockney) and American accents which in many cases causes some difficulty and misunderstanding in communication not to mention dialect and idioms being used here and there.

  • @danielvitor2567

    Excellent video, Greg!
    But there was a little mistake in the IPA symbol for /i/ (6:12) and /ɪ/ (6:59):
    Actually, it goes like this:
    /iː/ sheep, feet, leave, peek
    /ɪ/ ship, fit, live, pick
    But good job!
    👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    • @patbreacadh
      @patbreacadh 2 роки тому +10

      Yes. This is a great video, good work indeed. 🙏But I think you could correct this mistake with an on-screen card? Also the /ŋ/ sound in, say, _feeling_ does not have, as such, a /g/ sound at the end of it. The sound of voiced velar nasal /ŋ/ is going towards a /g/ but actually stops short of including it. This adding of /g/ is something most French speakers learning English typically do.

    • @marcocecotti1125
      @marcocecotti1125 2 роки тому +8

      Exactly! There is another mistake indeed. The e sound in bed is not /e/ (closed e like in say) but /ε/ (open e): /b εd/

    • @gorgolyt
      @gorgolyt 2 роки тому +4

      Quite a serious mistake, especially when he claims that i is "ship" but i: is "sheep". Those are two very different vowels, not a lengthening of the same vowel.

    • @gorgolyt
      @gorgolyt 2 роки тому +3

      Also the a in "cart" is not a long version of the a in "cat". They have different symbols so this should have been obvious. Big mistake.

    Hi Greg! Could you please make a detailed video about the difference in the pronunciation of "luck" and "look", "but" and "boot", and other pairs like these? Your Northern accent is a special one :) I speak the American version, but I love the way your English sounds. Cheers from Ukraine!

    • @ramamonato5039
      @ramamonato5039 2 місяці тому

      @ccompass Northern British English is given a nicknamed "Oop North". People speaking English with this kind of accent do not say /ʌ/. They replace that speech sound with /ʊ/. So, there are no differences between luck, look and but, all of them being pronounced /lʊk/, /lʊk/ and /bʊt/ respectively. As for the word "boot", like "shoot, root, moon", it is always pronounced with a long /uː/.

    Hi there, Greg! Great lesson, as always! I really appreciated it. I've learned the American English, and I'm familiar with the English phonetic symbols, but I was surprised to hear the pronunciation of the word "mayor" /meə/ in British English (the only one I missed in your test) because, for me, it sounded like "mare" and not "mayor". That would create a huge confusion if I were trying to understand you saying a sentence like: "She's our mayor!" I'd probably understand: "She's our mare!" hahaha.

    • @mjl8115
      @mjl8115 2 роки тому

      And what's more funny, google translator pronounces it in the same way despite the fact phonetic symbols are different. It is possible that there is different length of "e" in these words (mare has little bit longer "e:") but in a conversation I couldn't hear any differences. :)

I can say that I don't agree with you, you said they are good, well, it's not like that for me, you are the best because you make yourself understood and so you give us the courage to go on studying while with the others you throw in the towel and you can never learn, with you in a month I learned a lot and correctly. I don't compliment you and I'm not even kind but I'm telling the real truth!
