Hello everyone!
2
Welcome back to Pronunciation with Emma.
3
In this video we're going to be looking at the difference between and in final position.
4
So let me briefly explain how we pronounce these sounds,
5
because in many languages these two sounds exist,
6
but when they're put in final position in English they can be quite tricky for some speakers.
7
So let's just start with how we pronounce them first,
8
and then we'll look at some minimal pairs,
9
and then some sentences together.
10
So the first one, I just put my lips together
11
and I just make a noise and that noise comes out of my nose.
12
This is a nasal sound.
13
Just like that.
14
The next one is very similar.
15
But you'll see this time my lips don't close, it's my tongue.
16
My tongue essentially comes up to the top of my mouth.
17
Not to the roof or the palate,
18
the hard palate, but between the alveolar ridge and my teeth,
19
if you want to get a little bit specific.
20
Nnnn.
21
And it's that very tip of my tongue that does that.
22
Nnnn.
23
Again, the sound travels out of my nose because it's another nasal sound.
24
So let's have a look at some minimal pairs with and in final position.
25
am an beam beam came came
26
gnome known now let's look at some sentences this one sounds a little bit narcissistic but it's just an example.
27
I am an interesting person.
28
I am an interesting person.
29
Here's another one.
30
The meme was quite mean.
31
The meme was quite mean.
32
That's the end of another pronunciation video.
33
Hope you enjoyed it, as always.
34
Don't forget to like and subscribe to my channel.
35
I post weekly videos to help you with your pronunciation as well as some grammar videos
36
and vocabulary ones from time to time as well.
37
I hope you have a fantastic week and I will see you next lesson.
38
Bye bye!

Pronunciación a tener en cuenta

El hablante usa 6 contracciones y formas reducidas, como don't, they're, we'll. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.

  • Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, essentially /ɪˈsɛnʃəli/
  • Palabras largas — cuida el acento: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, essentially /ɪˈsɛnʃəli/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, alveolar /ælˈvi.ə.lɚ/, narcissistic /ˌnɑɹ.sɪˈsɪs.tɪk/

Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:

  • /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, alveolar /ælˈvi.ə.lɚ/

Cómo practicar con este vídeo

  1. Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
  2. Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
  3. Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como pronunciation, beam, lip.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
