Oh my goodness!!! You're our English Godesse which means that we gotta actually pray to you as our English savior, you have been juicing up our level about speaking English keep up the good work!!!
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.
Wow! What a remarkable, confident, and calm presentation from an amazing and terrific teacher! I wish all language learners as well as teachers benefit from such an excellent and solemn mentor. I have great love as well as respect for you.
Thank you so much for these videos! I'm starting my DIP TESOL in October and your explanations are so helpful! I'm sure I'll continue to watch more of your videos as the course progresses! 🤗🤗
I would love to say thank you SO very much for your knowledge and time. I much appreciate you. I wish you were an American Accent specialist. Cuz I learn and speak American English. I’m m an rhotic speaker. But I have been studying the pronunciation for a while, and I understood your stuff pretty well. Thank you again. You explained it SO clearly. I love all of your videos. You’re the best. Thank you very very much.
I have seen several accent training, but yours are so professional and so well done! You did not only taught us about how, but also about why, that's a crucial part of learning. Thanks for your efforts
Billie English your channel opens up a new way of learning English by speaking the way English is spoken, quite different to written English. Thank you so much for your tutorial. I just subscribed. Your channel will certainly grow as the channel gains traction. Best wishes!!!
Hello Professor What you present is really interesting and amazing,i really appreciate your job. I wish you peace and happness under the sky of prosperity. All the best. Take care and have a good time. Your Student from Algeria.
Back here for my phonetics I 2nd term exam I LOVE YOU thank you! you're wonderful and help me remember everything for the theory part. I got a 10 /10 last time. Thank you!
Hello there. May I please use your ( th + s ) as an example of my video? Just that period of your video because there are not many Thai people who know about how native English speakers speak English in general. Thank you so much for the useful method of speaking. I have been following you for a while. Have a wonderful day.
Thanks a lot ❤❤❤ This is Nazirullha from Afghanistan, I really like the way you teach phonology. Could you please explain Labial assimilation and also assimilation about , the morpheme, in, im.and il?
Teacher Billie.I just want to ask you a question .Does the assimilation heppen only in consonant sounds?What about vowel sounds.What do we called the linking process between them?❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi. I have a longer question for you. Is it possible for people to say (pipbul) When they pronounce pitbul, which is a case of regressive assimilation of place? Thank you for your answear.
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 ???
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.
Do you teach British pronunciation or American in these examples? Because I think British pronunciation is different for hangbag compared to American? Thank you
First of all, thank you for your didactic explanation. I noticed that in Upper RP accent is less frequent to see connection speech patterns like intrusive r and others, could you explain what is it?
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?
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
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.
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'.
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.
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! 😉
Thanks very much for the video! By the way, what happens when 'English song' is said in rapid speech. Is it 'Engli shong' or 'Engli song'. or what? Thank you!
I loved this lesson thank you so much! But the opposite S before TH can it happen the assimilation ass well? For example "he fights them" you can say "he fights sem*
Thank you for this video. It's has been really helpful. Please can you assist me with the phonological processes that take place when saying ' prayer and more income'
Hi Abigail! Have a look at this video on linking & intrusive R. You'll find the answer in there: ruclips.net/video/AgmENVGIw38/видео.html I hope this helps you!

Hi. Is it tue that when there are two vowels next to each other - as in see again, people tend to insert a linking r here to join two vowels smootly?
such a great explanation, thanks.
Thank you for your video, such good labour! Liked and subscribed!
Thanks for the sub! 😊
Really like ur tuitions
Where can I find a practice like this.
What’s about assimilation of s to sh before /j/?
You are good from my boring professor.Thank yoi billie.
Does these assimilation patterns work with American English too ?
At 11:11, you said two /ʃ/ sounds in "nice shoes" are linked. What do you mean by that?
I mean they merge into one sound and the /s/ from nice disappears.
First of all, thank you for your didactic explanation. I noticed that in Upper RP accent is less frequent to see connection speech patterns like intrusive r and others, could you explain what is it?
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?
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
Must one pay attention to this when speaking or it just occurs naturally when you speak fast?
It should occur naturally. However, when you learn English as a foreign language you may pronounce words without linking them in this way.
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.
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.

Thanks very much for the video!
By the way,
what happens
when 'English song' is said in rapid speech.
Is it 'Engli shong'
or 'Engli song'.
or what?
Thank you!
I loved this lesson thank you so much! But the opposite S before TH can it happen the assimilation ass well? For example "he fights them" you can say "he fights sem*
Yes, this could happen in fast speech!
Thank you for this video. It's has been really helpful. Please can you assist me with the phonological processes that take place when saying ' prayer and more income'
