  • In this video we look at the vowel sound /ɔː/ in British English. Find out how to pronounce law, saw, more, and ought. I sometimes nickname this sound the "cute sound" or even the "sad sound" (the symbol also looks a little sad too!) to help my students remember how to pronounce it.

    Now, I am thinking with myself...that's the reason I have so much difficulty to understand spoken english, mainly this coming from native. The key to improve listening is a good pronunciation. Non-native teachers sometimes don't give the proper value to the pronunciation what ends up decreasing the English learning. Thanks God, I'm deemed a privileged for knowing a teacher like you, which explain exactly how the words are naturaly pronounced. Thank you! I am all pleased.

    • @Pronunciationwithemma

      Ivanildo Vieira don’t worry, some native teachers don’t believe that learning the correct pronunciation from the start is vital either. It’s a shame.

    Why law, all, fall, ... Is with ɔː and not lay, car, bath, ... It may seem obious but it is because you get used to it. From abroad how can you figure out which word containing the letter "a" will be pronunced with ɔː or not.

    • @Pronunciationwithemma
      @Pronunciationwithemma  Před 4 lety +1

      There are some spelling rules but, really, they’re just so inconsistent. My advice with English is to stop looking for pronunciation rules all the time and learn the words as you come across them - like natives do! You’ll find it WAY less stressful than memorising endless rules that are countlessly broken 😅

    Hi Emma,
    Is there any difference between the pronounciation of saw (cutting tool), saw(past tense of see) and sew (stitching a garment)?
    Best regards.

    • @Pronunciationwithemma
      @Pronunciationwithemma  Před 2 lety

      Saw (the tool) and saw (past of 'see') are the same.
      Sew sounds like 'so' (as in 'go', 'no', 'low', etc).
      Hope this helps :)
