Thanks for putting up such wonderful content. Would you also please teach us how to pronounce these consonants if they're are followed by a s sound. For example, I've heard different pronunciations of the surname of my professor, which is Suggs. Some fully realise the g, some do it with unrealised stop, some replace it with a slight vibration of the vocal cord without the g sound, some even glottalise the g. I'm confused.

Dear coach. Could you help? are the followings correct? We can pronounce one of two ways - unreleased /d/, unreleased /t/ in “bad” and “hot” - assimilation like the following /d/ + /g/ ==> one /g/ bad girl /bæd ɡərl/ ==> /bæɡərl/ /t/ + /g/ ==> /k/ + /g/ hot girl / hɑt ɡərl /==> / hɑk ɡərl / Thanks a lot

Hi, I wouldn't agree with this, no. We have to mark these stopped t and d sounds, or they won't sound correct. Sometimes we might even release the t or d to make sure the words are clear.

Let me get this straight words ending with K just has no sound when it is kinda in a connection? For example "Back of" 🤔 And when it is totally alone? For example "Like" without a connection right after, I think you did not talk about it specifically on the video
@neskwga-faze.1759

By the day, Can I use that connection but using "uh"? Like when I'm thinking, For Example "Like uh" (Like-uh) Or it'll sound like a "Like a"? I saw some native speakers saying "And uh" And I think it wasn't a "And a", Or it can be? That's so interesting, I'm sorry about a lot of questions

Hi, when we link to a vowel like "in back of," we do say the /k/ sound ("ba-kuv"). When it's totally alone, or at the end of the sentence, we tend to use a released /k/ as well, so you in will hear the /k/. We just use the unreleased stop when the next word starts with a consonant sound. K is a little different than p/b/t/d for this.
@SpeechModification

I would avoid using "uh," because it likely will sound like 'like a' as you asked.

@@SpeechModification I understood, I mean when we're using the word without another words after it you know? In this context usually native speakers say the "K"? Or just with a lot of words coming after the word ending with K normally disappears? Last question, If you think It's better not to say "uh" what do you think about "um"? Because this word has the "M" sound, So probably people won't think that is a "a" sound right? For example "And um..." Just to express what I'm thinking, I'd like to use it to rest a bit.. And think more about what I'll say, Like a break
@SpeechModification
4 ай бұрын
Yes, when we say a word with K and no other words, we say the /k/ sound. For "and--uh" you can say "uh" or "um," both are good filler sounds, just hold the "uh" a little longer than you would if you were saying the phrase "and a" and it will be clear that you are just using a filler to think.

We don't leave off the /t/ sounds, we just don't say them with a burst of air. I usually write this as a(t) tha(t) time, because if we just leave off the t sounds, the vowels will be too long. I talk about this in more detail here: kzitem.infoYMbuJXKn7jc?si=njxKIIP8E3aYlGXB&t=329

I came back to this lecture again. I thought it was a very excellent lecture. Thank you. I came across the following sentence, "He has used flattery to get to his present position." Is the "d" in that "used" pronounced with a "t"? And which of the two "to" sounds that follow is it "too", "tuh", or "duh"?
@SpeechModification
7 ай бұрын
Hi, in your phrase, "used" would have an unreleased /d/ sound (used only says /t/ in the phrase "used to," here's more on that: kzitem.info2JOlm2c496U ). The "to" after "flattery" can be either "tuh" or "duh" and the second "to" is usually going to be "too" if we drop the /h/ of his, or might be "tuh" if we don't.

Hi. Thank you for pointing me to this video. It covers the following two situations: - a plosive followed by a plosive (hot today, did that) - a plosive followed by a vowel (hot in, stop in) But it did not cover the following situation: - a plosive followed by a "m" (development) So, is it a general rule that, when a "p" is followed by a "m", the "p" becomes unreleased?
@SpeechModification

Yes, if the plosive is followed by a consonant sound of any type, it will typically be unreleased.

Yes, because we vibrate during the vowel sound before the /b/, and then we close the lips to stop the air. Technically they can stop as we close the lips, but with the longer vowel before the voiced stops, you should probably think of it as being voiced.
