In Vowels^x, Consonants^x, Glottals^x

Hi,I read Nona's new post earlier, but... where is it now? I can't see it anymore. It was a post with a link to a website where you could listen to IPA sounds (for British English).Well, I heard a lot of words pronounced with a clear consonant sound at the end. I thought of posting this:What are...

Hi again,I'm so sorry, I should have read CalifJim's post about T's a little more carefully before posting. I see that there's also a glottal stop after R's, so the t in "smart" or "cart" is held. I see that there's a glottal stop (but sometimes it's not complete) after L and N, for example in...

Hi Bluealbatross, I live near Newcastle, and answered your similar question in the thread entitled: "Received pronunciation and mid Atlantic English" ...but I've pasted it here in case anyone wants to continue on this thread: I don't think I'd recommend learning the Newcastle accent if you...

I don't think I'd recommend learning the Newcastle accent if you want to learn a British regional accent. Its often reckoned to be one of the most difficult of accents to understand - not only for non British, but for many British themselves! There are both vowel and consonant sounds that are...

Me, too. As noted already, if is pronounced (it isn't always pronounced, though: dialect variation), then "a" is used. (Note, the symbols represent letters, and the symols represent sounds.) => a igh school If isn't pronounced, then another consonant is provided, notable the in...
