Thanks for your comment! Yes, many people from lots of different languages tend to devoice that final voiced consonant. It can cause a lot of miscommunications. 🙂
Hello Lori, Could you please shed some light on stopping voiceless consonants at the end of words, phrases and sentences with a glottal stop? Wouldn't this make the distinction of those minimal pairs easier?
Hi Susanne! Actually, many of my students who are good at using a stopped voiceless consonant at the end of words still have the problem of turning their voice off for final voiced consonants. So it doesn't really solve that problem if you don't address the fact that the voice must stay on for final voiced consonants. I hope I understood your question correctly and gave you a satisfactory answer. Good to hear from you! 🙂
I am a vegan just not to get in such a situation 😅 and don't go to no restaurants at all even to McDonald's. I guess the thing is here that in some languages the final letters referred to the voiced consonants, e.g. d, b, z, etc. are actually pronounced like voiceless ones - t, p, s. Many mistakes we do due to the features of our native languages.
That's so true, Alisa. Accents come from applying the sounds and patterns of our native language to the new one we're learning. It's quite a "code shift" in our brains!

As I know, it's called vowel length in Phonology
This would be in the top 10 list of things to watch out for the Slavic learners. Btw: feedback vs feet back ;-)
