So there it is. Thanks for believing in the powers of pronunciation for the day.
You can use another accent in your language- so try using it in English. It works.
Things that I want to help you learn how to do:
- move your /g/ back further in your mouth;
- understand why lip rounding is important;
- understand why an /l/ made on your lip is an easy way to make your /l/ and /r/ different;
- understand why varieties of sounds or allophones are so important (it fixes l, r, p, b, s, sh, a in black, 3:;
- explain final /r/; figure out how the yet and jet are totally differently pronounced.
And for Tamao we need to figure out the /f/. Click on the link here or below.
Most importantly you need to know how your mouth works. This website helps you think about it. It's the one I used in class.
A really nice resource to have as you are thinking about the question of the day...
... listen through the minimum sounds for that crazy Hugh Grant accent.
10 points for if you can tell me what he's thinking.
Another one for/f/:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiKaRvtvDAU&feature=related
ReplyDeleteRegarding Hugh's photo he is thinking in a big question:
..."Maybe because the texting is a phenomenon typical of the digital society, we must continue to encourage friends to communicate openly and honestly or we have to confiscate the phone until their return to Switzerland?"
Massi this is excellent.
ReplyDeleteHi, Massi. Thank you very much.you are so nice!
ReplyDeleteI found Japanese ones also.
Hi Tamao, would be great if you could put the page you found so other Japanese students can use to improve their pronunciation. I also got a video with the pronunciation of the F and V, I hope help you as well:
