PRONUNCIATION of English Words with an -ON Ending
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2024
- "Bacon", "salmon", "luncheon", "fusion", and "pigeon" all have an -on ending in common. But just by looking at these words, you cannot guess their pronunciation. That's why I have put together a list of over 20 words that end in -on whose pronunciations are not obvious. In this lesson, I will teach you how to pronounce all these words, and I will give you a phonetic spelling for each. It will also be a good vocabulary review since I will tell you what each word means. It's important to pronounce -on words correctly if you want to be properly understood by native speakers. www.engvid.com/pronunciation-...
TRANSCRIPT
Good afternoon. Good morning. My name's Ronnie. I'm going to teach you how to... Get focus on the camera, okay? I'm going to teach you some very important pronunciation. Pronunciation, pronunciation. And the point of me teaching you this is-magic-how to sound more natural when you speak English. So, you understand; you know that pronunciation in English, I think is the most difficult because it's just crazy, isn't it? You see a word written, but the way that it's actually said is completely different. We have silent letters; we have letters that make a whole new word, a whole new sound.
So, let me teach you something that will help you, and it's all about one of my favourite things in the word: Food. Who likes food? I like food. Food is essential for living, so this lesson is essential for you. I hope you're not hungry; maybe you will be after this.
So, our first word is: "bacon". Right? "Bay-kin", not: "bacon"? No. Check this out. "Bacon". "Bay-kin", "bacon", "bay-kin". What is going on, Ronnie? What's going on is the... All of these words that I've written on the board actually end in "ion" or "on", but we pronounce them like: "in". So, we don't say: "bacon"-unless you're a French Canadian-we say: "bay-kin". So, if I was to write this phonetically, which means how it sounds, I would write: "bay-kin". Bacon is delicious. It's got a lot of fat, a lot of calories - that's what makes it so tasty. It comes from a pig, and it's the tummy of a pig. Pig tummy. Delicious bacon. Bacon. Bacon.
So, next one. This is a crazy one as well because we have a silent "l", and as our lesson will follow, we don't say: "mon", we say: "min". So, this word-it's a fish and the inside of the fish is orange or pink-is called not: "salmon"; it's actually called: "samin". So, it looks like "salmon", but it's "samin". So, so far we have: "bacon" and "salmon".
Next, it's a vegetable. It smells bad; it makes you cry, if you cut it. And this is not: "onion"; it's actually: "un-yin". So you want to say: "onion", but we're like: "No. I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to say: 'un-yin'." Oh, that's just crazy. Bear with, okay? It gets more fun.
The next one is: "lemin", not: "lemon"; "lemin". This is actually a little more easier. Now, the other thing that you guys have to be aware of is "lemon" is yellow, and it's big. Okay? In a lot of your countries, you say: "leemon", and "leemon" actually in English we call "lime". Uh-oh. So, a lemon is big and yellow; and a lime-which is actually the spelling; it's pretty cool-is actually small and green. So, in your language, maybe you mix those up. But never fear. Lemons are yellow; limes are green.
Another delicious fruit is a "melon". Not: "melon"; "melin". And in the world we have many different kinds of melon; we have watermelon that has nothing to do with water, and we have muskmelon, dew melon, honeydew melon, queen melon, king melon - so many melons; we're not going to get into them. But the pronunciation is: "melin", not "melon".
Another thing that we have that you probably maybe have never seen this word before, it's called "mutton". Mitten? Don't eat the mittens. "Mutton". "Mutton" is basically a sheep. So, maybe you have heard of the word "lamb". "Oh, Ronnie, you forgot the 'b': 'lamb'." It's not "lam-b"; it's "lam". So, basically: "lamb" and "mutton" are the same thing; they're both sheep. The difference is a lamb is a baby sheep, and a mutton is an older sheep; a teenager. So, you're eating the teenager or you're eating the baby. Do you eat babies? Do you eat baby lamb? Do you eat baby sheep? Cool.
Do you eat "lye-in"? Not: "lion". It should be. Look at: "li-on". Oh, no, in English - no. I'm sorry, we say: "lye-in". "Lion". Have you ever eaten lion? Me neither. I would. I think they're beautiful, but I would eat them. Damn, I would eat anything, really. Maybe anything.
The next one. Maybe you guys are confused about why I have "lion" written on the board - it was a joke. But the next one is not a joke at all. And this word, it looks like: "pig-eon". And you say: "Ronnie, is that a pig?" and I say: "No. A 'pigeon' is a bird." Okay? A lot of people don't like pigeons; they think that they're dirty... Or all birds are dirty; all animals are dirty. […]

I'm from Cameroon and thank you so much. You are the best
I love you! Hoy are the BEST English teacher EVER! (And Funny) ❤
I learn a lot and laught with you. Love your personality!
Sorry, but shouldn't "bacon", "salmon", "luncheon", "fusion", etc. be pronounced as [ə] sound?
Фуфел гонит.
ˈsæmən
I think this lesson would be perfect for francophones (just because the way she exaggerates the -ON). As a native spanish speaker I do agree with you, I find the -in pronunciation she performs quite different compared with the way we do (Spanish speakers).
Aarón Mendieta I think she teach us how to sound it out in American way because Americans sound it out in different way
Yes I agree. She confuses everyone with this terrible lesson.
Wells so I’ve been pronouncing words wrong for years :(
I like learning with you Ronnie,thanks.
Wow..
I learned just now that I didn't know how to pronounce precisely hundreds of words in english.
Thanks Ron.
You've saved my teachings.
My fave Teacher.
Come on, Ronny. That’s common. :D

7:07 what was it? Russian? Good pronunciation!
'or black' actually but I heard it too ;)
)))) вообще, по-родному))))
I think she is Canadian.
You are right)) But because of slip of tongue she said something like Russian idiomatic word)))
@@dedemtavares she is
Thank you Ronnie! You are an amazing teacher and do a wonderful job😊
Thanks abundant! Dear Ron, I used every single word before mispronounced but fortunately I will try to proper pronounce in the long-run because of your help.
Lemon (limão) in Brazil is green and medium size. Hehe
British pronunciation is different!
Jenny J hi I wanna talking to you
Jenny J hello please call me 0922292825

Paul Minto what does that mean. ?
Jenny Love movie night by
You are so good teacher!!! Thank you 🙏🏻
Ronnie, you're so fun and energetic.^^ You make me keep smiling when I watch your lecture~Thanks.
I like your teaching techniques. But I have still many problems to start learn English properly. I am dare and feeling shy to talk English. I am totally cast down to recover it. Please advise
Hold your courage man it's not a big deal
Fidn friends that are native, they help a lot.
The problems is that I have no friends. Whatever have I can't talk with them. Bcz I don't know how they talk too much and from where they find many words. I became nervous what should I say. Then I just stay quiet and just listen. That's way I don't go with them bcz I think they feel bore with me. Even in interview board seems every word just removing from my brain when in front of interview board. I just a useless fellow I think. 😧
@@simsim5208 you need to be confident in your saying only and only then you will use properly Language and the vocabulary enhances with time.....don't worry
