    I don’t know how I found you but I think you’re awesome. My mother was an English teacher and my father was an aeronautical engineer so I had no escape. I was speaking extremely early. I was less than year old & speaking full sentences that were more than four or five words. I think it’s pretty obvious at this point. I just did what my mom did when I had my son. I just read to him and spoke to him like he was an adult and he was speaking before he was a year old. He used to love it when I clap out longer words. Syllables were always fun. I wasn’t trying to be primitive by being caveman about it. Babies already have the sounds down it’s just forming the words that take time. People need to get off their phones and just start reading to their kids and make up stories and be silly but speak clearly. One fun game we used to do on Sunday nights was watch the bravo channel and they would put on silent movies and before he could read we would make up our own dialogue for what we were seeing. It was so much fun and so funny. I loved it because he got to be himself and so did I. Our Sunday nights together were some of the best nights. Thank you so much for being here✨🧚🏽🎶

      I second this comment. Reading these on paper confused me so much glad I stumbled across this video. Love language & how precise it can be but in some cases (specifically in testing cases for an ELL credential) why not just keep it simple. Anyway, super helpful! Thank you!

    I just learned of the word phoneme today on the americant TV show Jeopardy!. I have an interest in language[s]. I have come to think I think homophonically, sometimes. That spawns puns and such. Zeroing in on the sounds in language and their written associations seemed to be a naturally evolving knack as I learned Portugues in the state of Bahia, Brasil. I haven't been there since 2010, though I have retained the idiom, like it's tattoooed to my soul. Seeing your clip here makes me want to know more about other tongues such as the unusual Khoisan languages. I wonder if they say "Click down below to subscribe".

    An interesting study of which I have been undertaking, is the spiritual significance of phonemes. For instance, the Hebrew language has been called the heavenly language, or as close to the heavenly language that we can get here on earth. And most languages we have today, derive from ancient Hebrew. And Hebrew is constructed solely of consonants and contain no vowels. However, vowels sounds still resonate through spoken Hebrew.
    That said, our names carry spiritual significance. My name Brian, means "Strength, Nobility". Whereas the name Robert means "Bright One" and so on. And so, the combination of phonemes carry a spiritual essence or characteristic. The holy bible declares that God created everything through His word. So words and/or names and the pronunciations thereof carry powerful meanings, significance and even purpose.

  • @alexanderfry8857
    @alexanderfry8857 Před rokem

    Thanks for the great video! I'm just curious - if phonemes are 'the smallest unit of sound'... does that mean that things like 'qu' or 'nk' aren't actually phonemes? If so, what are they?

    • @PhD4me
      @PhD4me Před 11 měsíci

      I believe they are considered 2 letter phonemes. Some people call them special sounds as well.

  • @mariom3044
    @mariom3044 Před 3 lety +3

    Great stuff but phonemes are written between /x/; for example: sheep -> /i/

    • @earlyimpactlearning
      @earlyimpactlearning  Před 3 lety

      True! Technically they are written like that, but I wouldn't teach them to children that way. That would be very confusing. Definitely true technically, though, as a unit of speech - but not in the practical teaching of phonemes for early reading. Thanks for commenting!

I have a huge complex over my shitty phonemic processor, and am desperate for any advice on how to repair my confidence in the way i speak! Thanks in advance!

  • @nourelshazly9306

    What is phoneme ?
    The smallest sound
    The smallest sound that has meaning
    A symbol representing a sound
    Which one is correct??? i need to know please ❤

    • @newbornprop687
      @newbornprop687 Před 8 měsíci

      None of them.
      It's an abstract phenomenon in aour mind representing a sound- we can compare it with a thought of somebody who can read musical notes about the sound that the particular note represents.
