TRANSCRIPT
Hi there. My name is Emma, and in today's video I am going to teach you how to improve your pronunciation by looking at pronunciation problems. A lot of students confuse words; or sometimes two words, they sound similar, and students confuse the pronunciation of those words. Okay? So in this video we're going tolook at five different sets of words, and I'm going to explain how to pronounce them, and: What are the differences in their pronunciation?
So let's get started. The first word that I want to practice is the difference between "word" and "world". Okay? I know a lot of students have a lot of difficulty, especially with "world" because you havethe "r" and the "l", which is really challenging for a lotof students. So let's learn how to pronounce these two different words. With"word", I've written here the International Phonetic Alphabetspelling. If you know this, great; if you don't, don't worry about it. This isjust, if you do know this, this is how the word is in the IPA alphabet, theInternational Phonetic Alphabet. So if you want to pronounce this word, thefirst thing I want you to do is make an "er" sound. Can you do that?"Er". "Er", kind of like: "her", "er".Okay? Now what I want you to do is say the word: "were","were", "they were", okay? Now, if we add a "d"here: "werd", "werd". Okay? Can you say that?"Werd". One thing that can help you sometimes is with rhymes. If youknow something that rhymes with the word it can also help you with thepronunciation. So this is the past tense of "hear": "Iheard". Can you say the word: "heard"? "Heard"."I heard the word". So you see these have the same sound:"word", "heard". So the very basic part of this is if youcan make the "er" sound, that's the very basic part of it:"er", "word". This is also a kind of short sound:"word". Now, I want you to compare that to this sound:"world". Okay? This sound is a little bit longer for this word."World". So I have it here in the IPA or the International PhoneticAlphabet. Now, again, these two have the same vowel sound: "er", so Iwant you to start with the pronunciation of this word by making this sound:"er", "er". Okay? Now, again, I want you to make the sound:"were", "were", "they were". Okay, now here'swhere it might get a bit tricky for some of you because of the "l", Iwant you to add an "l" to this sound. "Werl","werl". Okay? And at the very end, your tongue when you make the"l" should be touching the roof of your mouth: "werl".Okay. Now we're going to add the "d": "werld","werld". Okay? So now let's compare these two. I want you to sayafter me: "word", "world", "word","world". Do you hear the difference? Okay. So this is something youcan practice. Again, start with the "er" sound, that will really helpyou in the pronunciation of this. Now let's look at some other words that arecommonly confused.
Okay,so the next sounds or words that are very commonly confused in theirpronunciation are the words: "walk" and "work". Okay? Manystudents pronounce these as the same, but they're quite different. So let'slook at "walk" first. Okay? So, again, I've written the InternationalPhonetic Alphabet, if you know it; and if you don't know it, that's totallyfine, you don't need to know it for this lesson. This is just if you know it.So, one of the main mistakes people make with the word "walk" is withthe "l". Okay? Some students, they try to pronounce the "l"and they'll say: "wallk". The "l" is silent; we do not saythe "l" at all. Okay? So, imagine this is the word "walk"...Well, it is the word "walk". I'm just going to remove that. So, itlooks more like: "w-a-k", "wak". Okay, so the first sound Iwant to practice is the vowel sound because this is where a lot of studentshave problems, is with the vowel sound. It's an "aw" sound, okay? So,I want you to remember when you last went to your doctor. Okay? So imagineyou're at the doctor's and they want to look inside your mouth, you have tomake a sound, you say: "Aw". Right? When you go to the doctor's you say:"Aw". I want you to make that sound: "Aw", "aw".Okay? Notice my mouth is very open for this sound. It's not closed. It's:"aw". Okay, so you need to make that sound to make this word. Now Iwant you to say: "wa", "wa". All right? It's not a relaxedsound. Your mouth is very... It feels like you're doing work with it:"wa", "wa"
