Re: Mimicking an actor's accent

Hi,yes, I remember you asked about him. I'm not an expert at all, but I can tell you my opinion, as a learner.I agree it's a good accent for those who are interested in British English. I don't find any annoying features in his accent (=features I don't like). It doesn't...

Re: W is a vowel

It is unwise to rely on the etymology of a word to discern its meaning, or, if it has a range of meanings, to insist that the "original" meaning is somehow "more correct" . Words mean what they mean. In any discussion of the meaning of a word it is often instructive to look at...

Re: "a" or "an" before a consonant acronym

I suppose any hard and fast rule is not warranted. Consider that others argued that acronym and abbreviation are not the same thing: "There is a difference between acronyms and abbreviations. An acronym is usually formed by taking the first initials of a phrase or compounded-word and using...

Some questions to ask

I want to ask 2 questions about pronunciation first: 1) Do Americans say /use-d/ or /use-t/ in used to? 2) I saw Ann Cook wrote this in American Accent course: If the first consonant is voiced, the next one will be as well. If the first one is unvoiced, the second one will sound unvoiced, no...

[Video] Hi,I learned (and recognized) that in certain words (stressed syllables, in reality), the vowel is longer and on two steps of intonation when the syllable coda is voiced, otherwise it's short. In other words, I am just talking about the difference you can hear between GOT and GOD, for...

Re: Phonetic differences between English and Spanish

The previous post is mistaking the /z/ sound with that at the beginning of "think" - sorry, I don't know how I can write that phonetic symbol here (in Spanish the written letter "z" is pronounced as that sound in "think", at least in the areas the previous...

Re: Petal and Pedal - Difference?

Is was wondering if there is any difference between 'better' and 'bed or...' in American English. At least previously I thought that the vowel preceding the letter 'd' is longer in 'bed or', since it is followed by a voiced consonant in any English dialect. After these replies to the original...

Re: "s" and "z"

I don't know what you guys are all on about with devoiced /z/. It's not a devoiced /z/, it's just /s/. In the example that someone above used, "vases"... I don't know about up North or across the pond (either one), but American Standard has that as /s/ in the medial and /z/ in the final. Well, if...

Re: "s" and "z"

I haven't come across with a clear rule that states when to use fortis or lenis sound after a vowel, perhaps CJ has more information on this matter. However, there is a simple rule for the following suffixal consonant, that is , for those 's'-markers such as clouds. Simply put, the rule is...

Re: How's and House - are they pronounced differently?

Hi, those two vowels are the same to me. The only difference between "how's" and "house" is the final consonant. I think this is true for both General American and the kind of British English that is usually learned. I don't know if there are people who make a distinction or situations where a...
