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

36
and vocabulary ones from time to time as well.
37

Uitspraak om op te letten
De spreker gebruikt 6 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals don't, they're, we'll. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.
- De klanken “sh” en “zh”: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, essentially /ɪˈsɛnʃəli/
- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, essentially /ɪˈsɛnʃəli/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, alveolar /ælˈvi.ə.lɚ/, narcissistic /ˌnɑɹ.sɪˈsɪs.tɪk/
Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: ridge /ɹɪd͡ʒ/, subscribe /səbˈskɹaɪb/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: grammar /ˈɡɹæm.ə(ɹ)/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, palate /ˈpæl.ət/, alveolar /ælˈvi.ə.lɚ/
Zo oefen je met deze video
- Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
- Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als pronunciation, beam, lip.
Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
