Excellent lesson video! I’m glad to learn about nasal consonant to consonant linking. That was new to me. Thank you for making a great video as always😃
I love linking . Thank you Miss. Julie. - is the letter /n/ in the word (and) changed to ng /ŋ/ ( and God ) ( /æŋɡɑd/) - is the letter d in Sandwich /ˈsænwɪtʃ/ , /ˈsændwɪtʃ/ silent. Have a good day.
Hi Ramzy - Thanks for your questions! 1) Yes, the /n/ can change to NG /ŋ/ in the phrase "and God", if you drop the /d/ from "and". It is possible! 2) "Sandwich" can be pronounced both ways: /ˈsænwɪtʃ/ without the /d/, or /ˈsændwɪtʃ/ with the /d/. It depends on the preferences of the speaker. Hope this helps!
The New Yorker's pronunciation of "sing a song" would make Venezuelans laugh because it sounds like the Venezuelan slang "singazón" which means an orgy.
Hey great vid, tks for doing it. I have a big fat question, listening native speaking I found out that a word ends in a nasal consonant sound and the next word begins with t sound, they change to d sound(e.g. seem to= seem do/ sing to me= sing do me). Is that correct or I'm misunderstanding that?
Hi Rafael - thanks for your question :) I think this would be a perfect question for my weekly, live group class called Julie's Conversation Club. I'd be happy to answer your question at the next meeting! courses.sandiegovoiceandaccent.com/courses/julies-conversation-club. Let me know if you have any questions - hope to see you there! :)
Julie, alternatively, using the International Phonetic Alphabet, you could have: in a house /ɪn ə haʊs/ changes to /ɪn°-°nə haʊs/ through linking, as /n/=/n°-°n/ becomes ambi-syllabic. Similarly, the time is now /ðə taɪm ɪz naʊ/ ------> /ðə taɪm°-°mɪz naʊ/ sing a song /sɪŋ ə sɒŋ/ ----> /sɪŋ°-°ŋə sɒŋ/
Hi Jacob - Thanks for your comment! Yes, this is another way to transcribe it, depending on how detailed you want to be with regards to the linking :) Nice!
Hi Steve, Thanks for your question. There are a couple of pronunciation assimilations that can happen in the phrase "I don't care", but yes, you might hear someone say "I don't care" in fast speech :) I hope this helps!
You are such a wonderful teacher. Thank you so much.
Thanks Kathy!

Julie, alternatively, using the International Phonetic Alphabet, you could have:
in a house
/ɪn ə haʊs/ changes to
/ɪn°-°nə haʊs/ through linking, as /n/=/n°-°n/ becomes ambi-syllabic.
Similarly,
the time is now
/ðə taɪm ɪz naʊ/
------>
/ðə taɪm°-°mɪz naʊ/
sing a song
/sɪŋ ə sɒŋ/
----> /sɪŋ°-°ŋə sɒŋ/
Hi Jacob - Thanks for your comment! Yes, this is another way to transcribe it, depending on how detailed you want to be with regards to the linking :) Nice!
super difficult to pronounce N before R such as "turn right", "sunrise". if it's NG sound, it's super easy to pronounce.
Hi @JLB_Yantee_USA - Oh, very true! The N + R combination is challenging - I hope it gets easier for you with practice :)
Ha ha. I understand why something I don't undertand. Ha ha. Singa song. Haha. Thank you
Hi Maria - Glad that I could help! :)
You are perfect ...
Hi Ahmad - I'm glad you liked the video!
That’s why when some people say “I don’t care” sometimes I hear “I dong care” is this correct?
Hi Steve, Thanks for your question. There are a couple of pronunciation assimilations that can happen in the phrase "I don't care", but yes, you might hear someone say "I don't care" in fast speech :) I hope this helps!
Like the singer Eminem. His real name is Marshall Matters which has M and M as initials. "M and M" becomes Eminem
Hi Js B - Exactly!
