    Now I understand why sometimes I feel my sentence broke while I talk... it's because like I try to spell every word out, no wonder I often feel my tongue is knotted in my mouth. But to get better with it, I do need to keep practising. This is truly an eye-opener. Love it.

    in the sentence ( I am fluent in a foreign language ) is the letter (a) pronounce like /ə/ Thank you

    • @SmoothEnglish1
      @SmoothEnglish1  Před 4 lety +1

      Which letter a? a in "am" is short e as in egg. a in "a" is /ə/ -yes. a in "lang" is closer to a Long A- as in "aim" but the dictionary calls it a short A. Most Americans raise the Short A before an NG so it's closer to a long A. The "a" in "gauge" is /ə/ or short i- as in itch.

    Hello, you said ( I won't interrupt you ) for blending the last T in interrupt and y
    is the t and y become /tʃ/ sound in one place using blade of tongue or i make first /t/ sound then move my tongue to /ʃ/ sound. Thank you.

    10:30 can we blend the d and and zh, and just say it like /ri-djur/ 'ɹī-dʒɚ/ ?

    • @SmoothEnglish1

      Sure, that works. As long as you adhere to the rules of rhythm and don't emphasize those sounds, no one will notice the difference.

    Is it up to the speaker to say “visit your” without blending and “visit sher” blending the words?

    • @SmoothEnglish1
      @SmoothEnglish1  Před 7 měsíci

      Yes, the speaker can decide whether to blend or not. We don't always blend, just when we want to be faster.

    Why in Colorado they pronounce "ears" differently than how you do?

    • @SmoothEnglish1
      @SmoothEnglish1  Před 2 lety

      There is a subtle difference in pronunciation from state to state. I am from Illinois but have been living in California for 22 years. I did live in Colorado for 6 years as a child.
