★★ WHAT THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT★★
In this video we are going to have a look at yod coalescence and yod dropping. Don’t be scared off by these two complicated sounding terms. I promise, it is easier than you think! In both of these features the sound /j/ plays an important role. Yod coalescence happens when two sounds join to form a new sound. In English, this always involves the sound /j/ which is where the ‘yod’ comes from. ‘Yod’ is the name of a letter in the Hebrew alphabet, and it refers to the sound /j/ as in the word ‘yes’. We are going to look at all the examples you will encounter in English:
/d/ + /j/ = /dʒ/
/t/ + /j/ = /tʃ/
/s/ + /j/ = /ʃ/
/z/ + /j/ = /ʒ/
Yod coalescence can happen across syllable boundaries within words, but also across word boundaries. We will look at examples for both. In comparison to yod coalescence, yod dropping refers to the elision of the sound /j/. This is a feature specific to American English. Again, we are going to cover several examples so you can see and hear the difference. At the end of the video, I will show you how you can test someone’s accent to find out where they are from!

Thnx billie ❤
Thanks for the very clear explanation of yod dropping
Hi Billie, thank you. Wish you all the best.
Great video!
Hello! I have enjoyed your careful explanation, and expect to watch more of your videos in the future. I do have a question: in your examples of yod dropping, most of them were followed by a "u." The only exception listed was the word, "new." Is yod dropping limited to words with a "u" or "ew" sound? If not, what other sounds may the yod dropping precede? Thank you!
Beautiful pronunciation! Thanks so much, Billie😊! Silvana from Argentina.
Thank you Silvana!
wonderful! this is so helpful, thank you from Indonesia🙏♥️
Glad it was helpful!
❤❤❤❤❤
Hi billie namaste 🙏 from India 🇮🇳
god! u r a blessing. thanx for existing
Thank you so much for share this. I don't understand yet how to pronounce words fast as variety. Elsa don't understand me.
I love this topic. I heard some native speakers, particularly from the UK saying "Nothing" with a /k/ voiceless sound at the end of the word and I consider that it is a Yod-dropping? Can you clarify to me?
I'm glad you like the video and found it helpful!
The pronunciation you describe in not yod dropping. Yod dropping refers to leaving out the /j/ sound and it is also more common amongst speakers in North America. The example you mention is just a variety of pronunciation - although I must admit it sounds a little odd. Which region are these speakers from?
Thank you Miss
I'm from 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰 Pakistan 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
Yod Dropping in GAE just occurs (in the same word) and not occurs between two words alright ??!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I can't get this topic. Yod dropping? yod coalessance... I didn't expect that it would be so hard to understand. I can't understand with tables or diagrams, I need shapes of your mouth and articulation to understand the sound better. It's impossible to understand the sound without articulation. And you used so many terms i didn't know earlier, so it was iumpossible to understand without any explanation and articulation. The tables are helpful, when they are joined with tongue and lips position, it's easier to understand then.
Hi Olga! First of all, thank you for joining the premiere chat and leaving a comment! :-)
This video covered a rather specific topic that might be more interesting for viewers who study English phonology and teaching (as many of my subscribers do). If you learn English and want to improve your own pronunciation, you could start with my playlist on sentence stress: bit.ly/3VXO6s0
I hope you will find the video there more helpful! Greetings :-)
Thnx Billie for making this topic enjoyable
