Hello, lovely students, and welcome back to English with Lucy.

I'm very excited about today's lesson.

I am going to train you to speak more clearly in just three simple ways.

This is going to be a pronunciation bootcamp.

It's like three mini lessons in one, and I guarantee that by the end of this complete bootcamp,

you'll be pronouncing word endings so much more accurately.

First, we're going to cover how to pronounce words ending in the letters e, d.

I have an amazing trick for this.

Then we'll move on to words ending in s or es.

Again, I have another trick.

And finally, we will focus our attention on the accurate pronunciation of some common suffixes, like the shin in pronunciation.

So we're going to cover why we say danced with a t at the end,

loved with a d at the end and visited with an id at the end.

I have an amazing trick.

I'm also going to train you how to pronounce these endings perfectly every time.

So you'll know why we go to the shops to buy clothes and you'll know why the plural of style is styles,

but the plural of spice is spices.

Finally, we'll talk about suffixes.

Endings like able and shin.

So you'll be able to pronounce so many words accurately.

I want to remind you that I've created a free PDF to go with this lesson.

In the PDF, you will find all of the pronunciation rules that we cover in today's video with loads of extra examples.

Okay, let's get started.

First mini lesson, we're going to focus on ED endings.

I like to teach through stories, so I'm going to tell you about a trip I took to Bangkok last year.

Listen and shadow me to practice if you like doing that.

Pay special attention to words ending in ED.

Last year, I visited Bangkok for the first time.

I'd always wanted to visit Thailand and was delighted when the opportunity finally occurred.

I asked friends who'd traveled there what I needed to take.

I went totally over the top and Will watched in horror as I packed half my wardrobe.

We laughed out loud when Diego jumped in my suitcase too, adding to the chaos.

I continued getting ready and then we carried our cases downstairs ready for the morning.

If you were shadowing with me there, feel free to replay and try again.

Let's take a closer look at those ed endings.

One of the most common pronunciation mistakes I hear is

when students try to pronounce the E at the end of the word and end up saying ask -ed or travel -ed.

They should be asked, travelled.

We only add on an extra syllable when the infinitive of the word ends in a T or D.

So words which end in the letters D, D -D, D -E, T, T -T or T -E,

add an extra syllable with the sound id.

Here are the examples from the text.

Visit, want and delight all end in the consonant sound t.

Notice how the letters E -D add that extra syllable.

Visit has two syllables, visited has three.

Want has just one syllable in the present, but two in the past.

Wanted.

Delight similarly becomes delighted.

Verbs ending in d behave in the same way.

Need, needed.

But, and this is a big but, and we like big buts, and we cannot lie.

Most ed endings aren't pronounced this way.

In In most ED words, the E is silent and the letter D is pronounced with a T or D sound.

How do you know which?

Well, it depends on whether the word ends in a voiced or an unvoiced sound.

If it's easier to think about it in this way, it's like the letters ED are just represented by either T or D.

One of the easiest ways to find out if a sound is voiced

or unvoiced is to place your fingers on your throat and check for any vibration when you say it.

If you can feel a vibration, the sound is voiced.

If there's no vibration...

It's unvoiced.

Let's give it a go.

Tuh.

Duh.

Tuh.

Duh.

I can feel the vibration with duh, but nothing for tuh.

What about vowel sounds?

All vowel sounds are voiced.

Let's put the rest of the ED words from my story on screen.

In most British English accents, the word occur ends in a vowel sound.

Uh, occur.

The letter R isn't pronounced.

We match voiced with voiced, so we add the voiced consonant d to the end, and occur becomes occurred.

Ask ends in the unvoiced consonant k.

We match unvoiced with unvoiced, so we add the unvoiced t.

Asked.

That's quite a hard consonant cluster there.

Asked.

In fast spoken English, we often get rid of the k sound and say asked.

I asked him a question.

Remember, we don't pronounce the letter e, we don't add an extra syllable.

Let's practice blending those sounds together.

Repeat after me to practice this.

Occur, occurred.

Carry, carried.

Some unvoiced ones.

Let's try and pronounce all of the consonants together.

Ask, asked.

Watch, watched.

Pack, packed.

Laugh, laughed. and jump, jumped.

Okay, first mini lesson done.

Let's move on to words ending in S or ES.

We add S, ES or apostrophe S to a noun to form the plural

100

or possessive or to a verb to form the third person singular in the present simple.

101

As you listen to the next part of the story, Try and notice the different ways I pronounce the S at the end of the words in bold.

102

Again, this is another shadowing opportunity.

103

Let's begin.

104

We spent our first few days in Bangkok going for walks along busy streets,

105

immersing ourselves in new sights and noises.

106

We spent ages admiring the styles of clothes in the shops and devoured delicious dishes for our lunches.

107

Will took hundreds of photographs.

108

It's one of his strengths of the incredible places, flower markets, and rows of colourful spices.

109

He wishes we could go back tomorrow.

110

I have to admit that was a tongue twister for me.

111

You might not know this about me, but growing up, I was unable to properly make the ss sound.

112

I had what we call a lisp, which is when your tongue sticks out a little bit too far, th.

113

I would call myself Luthie instead of Lucy.

114

It was only as I matured that it sort of went away.

115

Unless I'm cold, then it comes out.

116

Back to the pronunciation lesson.

117

We pronounce s and es endings in three different ways.

118

With ss, with zs, or with is.

119

The last sound, is, adds an extra syllable to the base form of the word.

120

But, and this is where it gets a little bit more complicated, we only add is when a word ends in.

121

S, z, sh, ch, j, or j.

122

I've included the typical spelling patterns for each sound and more examples in the PDF.

123

The link's in the description box.

124

I think you'll find that very useful.

125

Spice ends in s.

126

So in the plural form, we add an extra syllable.

127

Spice, spices.

128

Then we have noise, noises, and dish, dishes.

129

Remember, these rules also apply to the third person singular form of the verb.

130

So, the base form wish becomes he wishes.

131

Words which end with the sounds ch and j also add an extra syllable.

132

For example, watch watches and charge charges.

133

Very few words end with j, but there are some like massage, massages.

134

Okay, so that covers when we add is, but how do we choose between the remaining two sounds s

135

or z? well it's the same rule

136

that we saw with the ed endings we match voiced with voiced

137

and unvoiced with unvoiced here are the words from my story which end with voiced sounds So, need to be matched with Z.

138

Remember, there is no extra syllable.

139

We just blend the sounds together.

140

There's a complete table with all of the voiced consonants, typical spelling patterns, and more examples in the PDF.

141

Repeat the plural forms after me now to practise.

142

Ready?

143

Hundreds.

144

Ourselves.

145

Clothes.

146

Styles.

147

days, and rose.

148

The remaining unvoiced consonant sounds, p, t, c, th, and th, add s.

149

What about connected speech for both the s and es endings and ed endings?

150

When we add s, z, t, and d to the end of a word, we often end up with many consonant sounds together.

151

These consonant clusters can be really tricky to pronounce clearly.

152

Let me give you a couple of tips which are pretty much guaranteed to help you articulate these sounds like a pro.

153

Tip number one, when the word after, s, z, t, or d, begins with a vowel sound,

154

try to attach the consonant sound to the vowel sound.

155

For example, instead of saying, we laughed out loud, break up the consonant cluster by saying, we laughed out loud.

156

Here are some more examples from my stories.

157

Listen and repeat.

158

Will watched in horror.

159

Diego jumped in my suitcase.

160

Going for walks along.

161

Immersing ourselves in.

162

Tip number two.

163

When the word is followed by the same consonant sound, join the two consonant sounds together.

164

Repeat after me.

165

They watch television.

166

We enjoy dancing.

167

He walks slowly.

168

And now time for our final mini lesson.

169

Once Once you manage to articulate this next sound correctly, your pronunciation is going to be so much clearer.

170

For the final story, focus your attention on the highlighted word endings.

171

Again, this is another opportunity for shadowing.

172

When we got back home, friends and family quizzed us about our trip.

173

Was the hotel in a nice location?

174

Was the weather pleasant?

175

What was your most memorable moment?

176

Well, the delicious food was a highlight.

177

It was incredible.

178

Learning about the culture was important too.

179

But there were so many special moments.

180

I don't think I could pick just one.

181

Okay, in bold, we can see some common suffixes.

182

A suffix is a letter or letters that we add to the end of a word to make a new word.

183

All of these suffixes have something in common.

184

They contain the schwa.

185

That's the sound at the beginning of the word about, and at the end of the word computer.

186

We make this schwa sound by relaxing the mouth and the tongue.

187

My jaw opens a little, but it's not wide.

188

Uh, uh.

189

It's the most common sound in English, and it never appears in stressed syllables.

190

Why is this sound so important for suffixes?

191

Well, most suffixes in English are not stressed.

192

Let's take this word from the story as an example.

193

Memorable.

194

Memorable.

195

The main stress is on the first syllable, mem.

196

The suffix isn't stressed and the letter a is pronounced as a schwa.

197

One of the biggest pronunciation errors I hear learners make is when they try to pronounce full, strong vowels in unstressed suffixes.

198

Knowing that many suffixes are pronounced with the schwa can massively improve the accuracy of your pronunciation.

199

It's not always the case, but it will help.

200

Let's take a look at some more examples from the story.

201

I'll pronounce the suffix, and then one of the example words.

202

Listen and repeat after me.

203

Us, delicious, able, memorable, Okay,

204

that's it for your pronunciation bootcamp today.

205

I really hope you enjoyed it.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
