page all right first one thoroughly
thoroughly for a lot of people this is a
difficult word there are many
interesting sounds in this word first of
course is the sound is a difficult sound
to make because some languages don’t
have this sound the most common mistake
when making a sound is the tongue goes
too far out we don’t want that that’s
know you don’t want that the opposite is
also true some people bring their tongue
too far into the mouth that doesn’t work
either so what happens inside the mouth
with the tongue and the teeth and the
everything let’s have a look your tongue
should be resting along that bottom set
of teeth just here also imagine that
there is a big weight in the middle of
your tongue pushing it down the middle
is down and the sides you can feel
between the top and bottom sides of the
teeth now imagine that you have
something on your tongue and you’re
trying to blow it off that is the shape
of the end of your tongue
so the middles down sides of the tongue
are between the top and bottom teeth and
the end of the tongue kind of makes this
shape so on a real face it looks like
this two important things don’t clench
your teeth that hurts and it won’t make
the right sound second like I said
before make sure that middle bit is
being pulled down so it leaves the sides
and the front between the top and bottom
teeth okay those vowel sounds we’ve got
up as in up and this one is a schwa
sound
thora thoroughly thoroughly first say it
slowly with me then get faster when you
feel more confident sir ro Li thoroughly
thoroughly thoroughly thoroughly
thoroughly I can’t find my keys anywhere
I’ve checked thoroughly next hey Alice
or the English words that I find the
most difficult to pronounce they’re
actually two of them which are six six
yes yes a thousand times yes six six six
six this okay we can pronounce this word
in two ways the easy way and the way
that you want me to explain so the easy
way let’s change that X to AK a sick
sick say it with me sick sick this is
how you will hear everyone pronounce
this in real life however you want me to
teach you how to pronounce it with X
which is fine let’s do it the thing you
need to practice is going from to for
many of you this is a new sound it’s a
new way of speaking so it takes practice
you have to practice going from to
bringing your tongue forward slightly
and sorry mouth from the S to this let’s
practice just that together you see my
tongue comes forward slightly and my
six-six-six again you probably won’t get
this the first time if you do you’re
awesome you’re genius but if you don’t
don’t worry it’s a new difficult sound
for many people so you will need to
practice again again again rule rule
which I can’t even believe it’s actually
words just noise come down my mouth in
American English it sounds a bit strange
because the sounds smush together rural
however in British English you hear more
of a distinct two separate sounds row
roll roll
oh my god and yes of course there BR and
the L sound for Asian languages this
might be a new sound for you so we
produce the R sound rough only with the
lips inside the mouth the tongue does
nothing it doesn’t touch anything this
is only with the lips ruff ruff ruff
ruff try it with me rat rat run for the
L sound it’s almost the exact opposite
the lips do nothing and the tongue makes
all of the sound la
say it with me la la la la la la la I
made a video which explains this in much
more detail so click here to see that
one
however the short explanation would be
the L sound
requires two different tongue positions
if a word finishes with an L sound the
tip of the tongue will hit just under
the front bit of the top teeth l l
however when a word begins with an L
sound or if there is a vowel sound after
the L sound then it’s different the
tongue will hit just behind the top of
the front teeth just around here la la
la so in the word rural you can see my
tongue finished just under the top teeth
at the front why because the word
finishes with the L sound
thank you next high early the word that
I found difficult to pronounce is
succinctly clear and short it’s not
clear and short it’s difficult even the
spelling it’s crazy it’s extinct yeah
okay yes so this word it has a double C
but we don’t pronounce it like a hard C
like a good sound it’s not succinct no
imagine that is a double s succinct
succinct and also that is a great word
to use in your explanations remember to
be succinct next aluminum but I have
also heard that it’s like a la mano so I
hope you say aluminium they say
aluminium both ways are fine American
English says aluminium British English
aluminium both are correct the only
difference is if you want to speak with
American English say aluminum if you
want to speak with British English its
aluminium notice also the spelling is
different there’s an I here it’s not
here next what its cost appreciate dude
I can’t hear you over your TV turn your
television down would you tell me to two
friends between this and this okay
Bowl and ball well let’s start here this
is easier simply for this word ball for
the vowel sound nothing changes it’s one
flat sound this one however the vowel
sound has two
sounds in it and you can see it change
in the mouth shape let me show you you
need to go from this sound oh said this
bold and the second one could you tell
me the difference between this and this
this is a great example of minimal pairs
yeah and AH there is only a slight
difference between the two sounds but
it’s not difficult
I promise I’ll show you how so for the
app sound in pan
the tongue is again pushed down and the
jaw comes down a bit ah ah so the tongue
follows the jaw going down pan-pan and
you notice your mouth opens more
vertically pan-pan to make the F sound
the tongue is more flat and the jaw
doesn’t come down so much and the mouth
is in more of a horizontal shape yeah
yeah it helps if you smile a bit a
practice with me ah ah ah eh the whole
word pen pan pin pan pin pan pan pen the
same width can you please explain the
difference between those words here men
in men bet in bed they are the same help
me please
pan pen man men it’s the same sounds for
man it’s that ad sound so drop the jaw
the tongue follows down man man ah the
tongue opens more horizontally men
men the same with bad bed bad bed bad
bed just remember that for all ah sounds
your jaw and tongue will drop for sounds
your tongue will be flat and almost
straight your tongue won’t drop and your
mouth will open more horizontally next
those and lose its about l OS e and L
double O s v I find it very difficult
yeah
okay so this one this has to do with
voiced sounds and unvoiced sounds voiced
sounds make a vibration in the throat
like for example in a sound this is try
it with me and feel your throats for the
vibration unvoiced sounds however they
don’t make a vibration in the throat for
example this sound try with me see no
vibration unvoiced sound so the
difference in these two words lose and
loose it’s this lose has that voiced
sound at the end loose however has the
unvoiced sound at the end loose loose oh
you played basketball today did you lose
yeah we lost because my shoelace was
loose next beer beer bird
they all sound more or less same for me
ok I’m very happy that you chose those
three words because those three sounds
that make the vowel sounds are very
important and very difficult for many
people here in American English the
ah sound would be more a beer bear bird
you say that our sound is very different
in British English there is no tension
in the tongue when you make the r sound
beer bear bird I’m going to show you how
the mouth shape changes for these three
so try the mouth shape with me yeah open
it more for air between air and earth
you’ll notice my lips change shape ah so
two key things to remember one there
should be no tension in the tongue when
you pronounce these ii pay very close
attention to your mouth shape just the
sounds first ear air now the words beer
bear bird the exact same sounds with
here hair her we’re we’re were to the
next to the next
okay so the most difficult word to
pronounce is actually the word word that
I am saying right now because I’m
focused but if I say first in the
sentence you will always all like world
so yeah for me that’s the most difficult
word to see yes for some people it might
word
this gives enough room in the mouth to
make that sound comfortably again you
don’t need to remember this every time
but it helps when you practice so you
can get used to the sound
next hi Ali I really don’t know how to
say principally principally I don’t know
please help me by so it sounds like plea
not pally
just plea princie plea principally same
with other words like logic Ali no
logically logically who’s the last one
so the word is
puppet publicly publicly
