    I'm addicted to your videos. So didatic for me as an english learner! The first rule "n before p,b,m" remembered me a gramatical rule in portuguese that we learn when we are kids: "before P and B, we only put M" (we don't have M and M together within words, so it's only before P and B). It seems clear that both rules exist for the same reason: phonetic sounds. But in portuguese the graphemes are quite similar with the phonemes, what doesn't happen in english. Thank you for your videos, they are helpping me a lot.

  • @khamessirania5060
    @khamessirania5060 Месяц назад

    Hello. Why did /s/ changes to /ʃ/ in the example "nice shoes". I am asking this because you explained all the cases of assimilation but this one. Everytime, the sound changes to be similar to the following sound. However, both /s: and /ʃ/ are voiceless and fricative. Is it a case of place of assimilation, from /s/: alveolar fricative to /ʃ/: postalveolar fricative ???

    • @BillieEnglish
      @BillieEnglish  22 дня назад

      So, yes, this change can happen, but it might not. It depends a bit on the speaker, how fast they speak etc. You might say both sounds, but they might also blend together (because they are so similar) so you can hear the /ʃ/ - you only retract the tongue a little bit to change the place of articulation.

    At 11:11, you said two /ʃ/ sounds in "nice shoes" are linked. What do you mean by that?

    • @BillieEnglish
      @BillieEnglish  Год назад

      I mean they merge into one sound and the /s/ from nice disappears.

  • @mlmm-q7u
    @mlmm-q7u 9 месяцев назад

    Billie. I am cursing fonetics II in Argentina and I want to know what happens when /n/ is followed by (for example) /i/ as In "an interview: does that /n/ becomes some different sound?

    • @BillieEnglish
      @BillieEnglish  9 месяцев назад

      Oh I am sorry to hear you have such a hard time with phonetics ... don't curse it, I'll be happy to help: so, the /n/ from 'an' doesn't change into another sound, but it most likely links up with the following word. You might find my other video on 'catenation' useful: ruclips.net/video/sQ369n0yJag/видео.html

  • @MawuliAmewornu
    @MawuliAmewornu 8 месяцев назад

    Must one pay attention to this when speaking or it just occurs naturally when you speak fast?

    • @BillieEnglish
      @BillieEnglish  7 месяцев назад

      It should occur naturally. However, when you learn English as a foreign language you may pronounce words without linking them in this way.

  • @unrealrox
    @unrealrox Год назад

    Thank you . Just a quick question, this must be something natural , right? How can I get it without studying it by hard?. Love your way of teaching. Regards from Argentina.

    • @BillieEnglish
      @BillieEnglish  Год назад +1

      Yes, it is. It is a process that happens naturally if the speaker follows the rhythm and patterns of English as a stress-timed language. All features of connected speech (e.g. assimilation, elision, weak forms etc) exist because English is a stress-timed language and sometimes we need to speed up pronouncing words to keep the timing from one stress to the next the same. You can find out more about this in my video on 'sentence stress'.

  • @markgoestofrankfurt
    @markgoestofrankfurt 2 года назад

    important to point out these are features of casual or informal rapid speech as spoken in the UK, esp. Estuary English SE England, and frowned upon as incorrect articulation for more controlled, careful, formal speech in more educated circles.

    • @BillieEnglish
      @BillieEnglish  2 года назад

      Yes, very true! Thank you for adding that. Unfortunately, some ways of pronunciation still carry a certain association and connotation for people. As someone who's lived in Manchester for a long time, I don't mind if you speak.like that though! 😉
