Paul Noll’s web page, American “Clear Speech” Sounds. Alphabet and Beyond. Now that we know how Greek sounds, let us see what it looks like. The center stage belongs to the Greek alphabet, but special marks also have walk-on parts. Alphabet The modern Greek alphabet shares the same origin with the various modern Latin-based alphabets: the Greek alphabets of the 1st millennium BC. Development The Greek alphabets have a history of about 3000 years. The Latin alphabet, variations of which are used by most European languages today, is essentially an evolution (if not a copy) of the Western Greek alphabet, while the modern Greek alphabet is essentially the (eastern) Ionic alphabet, which has been (relatively rapidly) established as the only Greek alphabet in the later half of the first millennium BC. Differences in form (denoted, e.g., C-Γ) are mainly due to the different variants used by the Western and Eastern Greek alphabets.
F and Q were also of some (often limited) use in writing Greek, but were not included in the standardised Ionic alphabet that prevailed. The ESL: PHONETICS AND PHONOLOGY. Podcasts — Pronuncian: American English Pronunciation. Transcript Hi again, and welcome back to Seattle Learning Academy's American English pronunciation podcast. My name is Mandy, and this is our 206th episode. Today I want to talk about the contraction I'd, (I-apostrophe-e) which can be used to contract either I would or I had. I notice that some contractions are embraced by non-native speakers much more than others.
For instance, many of my students willingly use don't for do not, or won't for will not. However, as I've mentioned in previous podcasts, many non-native English speakers don't like the contraction can't. I'd is another contraction people shy away from. One of the biggest benefits of using contractions is that they help the rhythm of your spoken English sound more fluent. Let me be absolutely clear that the contractions for both of these words is I'd, pronounced exactly the same. I'd can be especially tricky to pronounce because we have special linking rules when we link from the d sound into either an l sound or an n sound.

Listen to the audio: Podcast: Play in new window Subscribe: iTunes | Android | …or watch the video! : Native English speakers speak with the goals of: efficiency (meaning they say the most they can in the shortest amount of time); andusing flow and music in their speech. Something that may interfere with these goals of efficiency and music in English is the appearance of consonant clusters.
Example The word “spring” [sprɪŋ] begins with a consonant cluster, the three consonant sounds [s] [p] [r]. “spring” When consonants clusters appear at the end of a word in English, they can be difficult to say, even for native English speakers. Delete the middle consonant sound; ortransform a sound to use less movement of the tongue. Example If I were to say the fraction number as it is spelled, one-fifth [fɪfθ] as in “1/5 of a pizza pie” that would require me to say two consonant sounds together, which are difficult and inefficient to say as a group: “fifth” [fɪfθ] 1/5 –> “one-fith” [fɪθ] So, Got it?

Hi Gardeniafly! Good bye, Attila. English Vowel Sounds – Part I. Classification. Hi, Let’s jump to a serious topic that I’ve had the most difficulties with in my English learning: the system of the American English vowel sounds. I won't tell you that I haven’t had any problems with consonants, But for now I’d like to concentrate on vowel sounds. This entry will be rather long. Sorry guys, I have to go through it. Hopefully it won’t be as painful as a tooth extraction!
First, I must explain how I will name the American English vowels.

The Challenge of Learning US English: Sheep vs ship - Long E (EE) and Short I (IH) Sounds. Hi, Let’s begin to work on vowel sounds in pairs.

For example, if you say shit instead of sheet during a presentation, or bitch instead of beach, or piss instead of peace, you may seem offensive, vulgar or very rude. You have to be careful.

As I stated in my last entry, long vowels are NOT consequently longer than short vowels.

Kristo Ch 6. Phonological processes affect entire classes of sounds. In addition to simple articulation errors, children may produce erroneous phonological processes. These are errors that affect entire classes of sounds rather than individual sounds. These processes are a normal and natural part of language development and are to be expected in children just beginning to speak. However, if they persist beyond age five or six, therapy may be necessary. These may include: Velar fronting: The /k/ and /g/ sounds are articulated by making contact between the back of the tongue and the velum or soft palate. Palatal fronting: Similar to velar fronting, except that palatal sounds /sh, zh, ch, j/ are affected (shoe, vision, cheer, juice change to sue, vizzin, seer, zuice, respectively).
Final consonant deletion: Some children leave off the last sound of a word if that sound is a consonant. Initial consonant deletion: Similarly, some children omit the first sounds of words that begin with consonants (rice becomes ice). Couldja (could you) Gonna (going to) Jeechet?
