I can't thank you enough,ma'am. I think your channel is the best at teaching phonetics ever on youtube. When you tackle a particular topic, I think one needn't search for something else. You are really experienced and sophisticated. I wish you good.
Hey, thank you for your lesson. In the example at 10:00, the "perhaps" /pr̩æps/, as the "r" counts as a syllable, the "p" before it counts as a syllabic consonant too? like in: /p̩r̩æps/ (it feels wrong), or as in the context of connected speech, counts as part of the word before "perhaps" or?
As a fan of German language, athough not a teacher of German, I can say that these syllabic consonants are also found in Standard German spoken with today's standard pronunciation called "Deutsche Hochsprache" (they having changed this term to "Deutsche Aussprache" lately), but not in Standard German spoken in the first standard pronunciation called "die deutsche Bühnenaussprache" or "Bühnendeutsch" as introduced by Theodor Siebs in 1898, which was considered to be standard pronunciation until 1950s in Germany: arbeiten [ˈaʀbaɪtn̩] Schweden [ˈsveːdn̩] backen [ˈbakŋ̩] oben [ˈoːbm̩] In German stage pronunciation, all these -en's are simply pronounced [ən], which Indonesians, of whom I was one, find it simple. We, in Indonesia, do not discuss these syllabic consonants in learning English and German. They are too difficult for Indonesians to pronounce. We always skip this topic and pretend that syllabic consonants do not exist in English and German.
Hi Billie Hope you are well Could you explain about accent placement or voice placement for particular accent? I reckon my awareness is better now nevertheless could you tell about accent placement of SSB or Modern RP? I feel the more back voice resonates, the more closer it sounds to SSB. In many accents i feel sounds resonates in the mouth more forward that makes the big difference. 😊 Many accent teachere although teach physicality. But they left this voice part. Which plays a huge role in proprioception of sounds. There is difference tongue position and resonance. Tongue positions help us to shape the sounds and resonance provides it quality. Both of these makes a native like sound.
Hey there! So if the "un" sound at the end of button is not a syllabic consonant does the "uh" act as the nucleus and the "n" sound act as the coda? Also, if the "n" in button is a syllabic constant like "but-n" then in that cause there is NO coda the "n" in "but-n" now becomes just the nucleus? Thank you! :)
Hello! Thank you for your question! Just to clarify: in the final syllable of the word 'button' the vowel (= the schwa) can disappear and what is left is only a consonant that has now got vowel like quality and - yes indeed - would act as a nucelus of that syllable since there is no vowel left. Best watch my other video on syllable structure in which I explain this more! Syllable structure: What are onset, nucleus & coda? | Phonology Link: ruclips.net/video/4jLwFEUw1XY/видео.html
Hello! It doesn't seem to have any vowels when we spell it, but it does contain vowel sounds in the pronunciation. You can see it clearly when written in IPA sound symbols: /ˈrɪð.əm/ - there is a short i in the first syllable and a schwa (which could be left out) in the final syllable.

You're welcome!

Excellent video!Could you maybe explain the concept of “nasal release of plosives “ in an other clip?❤
Great suggestion! I'll consider this for a future video :-)
Great job.
Have a nice weekend 👍
BILLIE YOU ARE THE BEST! :D
im better.
Hey, thank you for your lesson.

Also does the s in the end of the word “præps” count as syllable ?
thank you so much :) you are the best ma'am . If you don't mind, could you do a video related to Sonority Scale?
I will try - thank you for the suggestions :-)
Thanks for this ma❤
My pleasure 😊
What that nark mean like a straight small line under the transcription of sllybalic consonants like in sllybic consonant of n ...in broken
Could you know book that contain more information about that,please?

I need a lecture on (VOT) voice onset time.can you help me?

do you have video for nasal sounds.
Yes, I do! Here you are:

Does the syllabic consonant need to form its own syllable or it can be like "cvc"or "vc"?
Hi Billie
Hope you are well
Could you explain about accent placement or voice placement for particular accent?

There is difference tongue position and resonance. Tongue positions help us to shape the sounds and resonance provides it quality. Both of these makes a native like sound.
Hello Dear Billie! I'd like you do the description of vowels sounds.
Hello! I have already - I have an entire playlist on all of the vowel sounds. Have a look here: ruclips.net/p/PL2xSrncgBnNYqIKehOXtVxsYiYwuWE-UB
If it comes before a syllabic,
m, r, n, l, g
shwa
Be syllabic?
Thankss
This is a really useful lesson. But I wonder why are these 5 consonants not others. What are their qualities? ❤
Hey there! So if the "un" sound at the end of button is not a syllabic consonant does the "uh" act as the nucleus and the "n" sound act as the coda? Also, if the "n" in button is a syllabic constant like "but-n" then in that cause there is NO coda the "n" in "but-n" now becomes just the nucleus? Thank you! :)

hello Billie! I have a question, the /l/ in "bottle" is the dark /l/?
No it light /l/might you know /l/ sond occurs before the vowel or dipthong😅
Hi, please Can your inform me whether your accent IS standard British or American
I was searching that video tremendously.. But now i am done with my exams😬
I hope your exam went well! What topic were covered in it?
I can't understand well
What is it syllabic consonant By specifying
How many syllables in a word ' Struggling
+isn't... L, +ŋ
Two syllabics
It is English with a native from where?
What about the word RYTHM madam?... It doesnt have any vowel in it👀
It would be nice if u respond to this qstn😊

First of all you're beautiful, but the lesson made my head turning around and around. 😂
Thank you very much
