*** I'm sorry, I had a heavy cold whilst filming this video and sound rather nasal. I also pronounced the word 'onset' a bit funny at times - I clearly wasn't quite myself. Apologies! But the rest should all be accurate.
★★ WHAT THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT★★
In this video we are going to learn about the three aspirated sounds in English: the unvoiced stops (also called plosives) /p/, /t/ and /k/. These three sounds are always aspirated when they are the only sound in the onset of a stressed syllable. I know, this sounds a bit complicated! But fear not, I will explain what it means in a simple way, showing you a range of examples to help you understand. I will also show you how to show aspiration in a phonemic transcription using IPA.

This was super helpful as a student who study English and phonology . Thank you Ms. Billie!
Glad it was helpful! 💛
Hi! It was very helpful thank you! I would love to watch other processes like devoicing, release masking, nasalization, neutralization, allophonic variations and phonemic regressive and progressive assimilation, those topics that I mentioned I need to know for my oral test and more also :), I hope your channel grow everyday because you deserve it! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! Greetings from Argentina!
Thank you for your comment & the suggestions Erica 😊 I will consider them for future videos!
You know, there are a lot of students in Egypt study such topics in college. I think if you do so, they definitely will follow you

Hello! What about the CH sound? Some resources claim it to be an aspirated sound when at the beginning of a word
I like the way your

You are genius❤
SO helpful!
A great video again!
Thank u So much🥰
thank you so much!
It’s a good lesson
Hello mam,
my Enquiry is, when the phoneme
/r/ or /l/ are seen after /p/, /t/, /k/ in any words does it aspirate? As instance
[Problem, pray, play, place, cross, cream, try, tremble, tropical, clement, clear...etc]. I'm very much confused wether these are aspirated or not!
I don't think they're aspirated!
may I ask, st says /st/ with unaspirated sound, but not /sd/ with the voiced d sound, right? thanks
As Arabic speaker I really appreciate your efforts it’s very helpful 🌷
Thanks you ❤❤❤
Thank you so much beautiful teacher it was very helpful
I want a lesson about devoicing😚
Thank you for the suggestion! I will consider this for a future video!
Perfect❤
Thanks a lot
Thank you
It seems to me the rule also applies to /tʃ/, but much less air out of my mouth than /p, t, k/.
could you make a video explaining no audible release please? pd; I love your videos
Hi Billie! Does the aspirated T appear in the word "CZcams" even though the T is not in the stressed syllable?
Hello! I'm not Billie but I think I can answer. It's the same explanation as the word cute in the minute 9:55 because the transcription of CZcams is /juːtjuːb/ with a t and a j sound together followed by the "long" u.
Can the non-aspirated p be at the beginning of a word?
do you have exercises to practice it
great video.
Helpful
Billie, thank you so much. Do you have a video showing how to pronounce "h", the plosive consonant ?
Hi Stephen! Yes, I have a video on plosives:
czcams.com/video/0LkiYmqKY2g/video.html
But /h/ is not a plosive, it's an aspirant, like I explain at the start of this video here. I hope this helps! 😊

on the word cute ... what happens there is a case of devoicing ? :D
In case of /b/ sound there is also h sound produce ,then why it's not included in aspirated?
Hello Ahmad! No, the sound /b/ is never aspirated in English.
Please is there a video on secondary articulation?
Not yet, but I might consider this topic for a video in the future :-)
Make a vedio on un aspirated sounds
Dear mam,
What are the uses of strong forms?
Are only strong forms used in reading English news and in reading English text and lesson and poems?
Kindly guide me.

Hello! Usually we use contracted forms when we speak because it allows us to speak faster and it sounds more natural.
We use full forms when giving a formal speech, and also often in writing, esp. academic texts and formal texts. I would say in formal news the anchor would use full forms. When addressing your students, use contracted forms. I will post two videos on contracted forms in the coming weeks! 😊 I hope this helps!
Some accents can have aspiration at the end of the word. But not all accents. :)
❤
i always study english from your channgel But i wish if you could re-arrange the videos on each playlist..for example in ( Connected speech playlist) videos not arranged properly so that i discover that there are some videos should be at the begining of the playlist instead of being at least
Noted, thank you for pointing this out. I will rearrange them 😊👍
Hi Billie : Is 'phone' aspirated ? Thanks!
Hello! No, it's not because the 'p' in 'phone' forms a /f/ sound with 'ph' and /f/ is a simple fricative sound. I hope this helps! 😊
I am hearing 'onset' as /onsent/ ..
Is there a /n/ in onse/n/t that you're pronouncing?
Great
Hi Billie, is ‘onset’ pronounced onsent?
No, it is pronounced 'onset' ... I think in the middle of teaching I said it and it sounded like 'onsent' a bit - but correct is 'onset'. Sorry about the confusion!
'ello Billie! Does aspiration appears in all English accent?
Yes, for most native speakers of English aspiration will occur as I described.
10:25 You are definitely aspirating the /k/ sound, /kʰju:t/
You are beautiful 😍
In the previous video you said "stop " is aspirated.
Will /p/ be aspirated in the word PLEASURE?
Billie, is it me or I hear you pronunce the word "onset" ans /onsen/???
Hi explain me
Hi
Hi Billie,your lessons on Connected speech are fantastic, very clear for non native.Thank a lot for sharing💕💕
