ED ENDINGS (1/3) American English Accent Training: PERFECT PRONUNCIATION

I'm glad to see this video. Years ago, I used to say the same thing and got teased for it, even sent to the ESL Inquisition, haha! It was tough for some teachers to accept it. Guess some folks just can't handle the truth from a humble non-native speaker. But now, with the pronunciation GOAT herself blessing it, the teasing can officially end 😇. Seriously though, for a sec I thought my ears were playing tricks or I was losing my mind. Rachel, you're an absolute legend. Keep rockin' that American English pronunciation teaching! 👍

For the word “Worked,”do you drop /k/ when speaking naturally?

People naturally tend to pronounce words correctly, but some may not. Over time, languages change, like how the British often drop the letter 'R'. I don't think it necessarily makes someone sound more native. Personally, as someone who learned English as a second language and studied Health Care, a knowledgeable professor taught me the importance of proper pronunciation. I respect different ways of speaking, but I value the guidance of passionate educators.

I tend to voice the last consonant of the verb (before -ed) if the following word starts with a voiced consonant:
- ...watched the... [wɑdʒ ðə];
- ...stuffed the... [stʌv ðə];
- ...kicked the... [kɪg ðə];
- ...hoped that... [hoʊb ðæt] or [hoʊb ðət].
This is possibly over-assimilation and therefore incorrect. In that case, I should keep the final consonant before -ed in "watched", "stuffed", "kicked" and "hoped" voiceless.

TY it helped me a lot to teach the class to my beginer ss.

Anyway you are describing the discrepancies in voice to text that I encounter regularly

Did missed get pronounced correctly and the article the become uh

good

This lesson was perfect!

So useful! You made me feel confident by myself.

am so thankfull for your video teatcher Rachel

Rachel I want to know where could I find those shorts examples videos words pronunciation please

Best video ever on the dreadful -ed endings pronunciation. English is, in fact, an opaque language when it comes to pronunciation. Thank you for the great practical lesson.

Super helpful! Had been wondering about the dropped and released t/d all these years. Crystal clear now. Thank you!

Thank you so much

Thank you so much I learn from you the thing I can't understand ❤

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤💐

What a wonderful class! It's so enlightening to learn things which books don't teach. You are a great teacher and I hope to be one of your students soon.

This series is precious.

This is so useful. Thank you so much .

Great!

kicked - expamples kinda fail. the "t" is definitely audible in all examples. perhaps, you should think of buying a hearing aid.

I miss......

I still think the old video is useful for students. If the issue is students adding an extra syllable , the old video is a simple fix. This feels like the more advance in-depth version.

what class was this, very good, I'm watching this video for the second time

drop t = stop t ?

Hi rachel mom u r the jenious. U r a wonderful teacher for me not for me. To all the world. Really u r a god for me Rachel mom. U facing lot of problems to teach is like a mother feeding mill to her kid. I am from india

Keep up the good work my amazing teacher

Oh my gosh!!! My amazing teacher may God bless you more about teaching us like that coz we do have issues understanding other American words though you taught us Then we understood everything about it keep up the good work!!

Ms Rachel, you have my full respect for bringing us into the essence of the way of native speaker.
Keep updating.
Thank you!

Well, to me, as an example, there is a slight difference in pronunciation between:
"I work there" and
"I worked there" .
I can personally detect the STOP T/D in the latter.
Same thing with:
"I play tennis" and "I playED tennis"... Pronouncing the latter like the former doesn't sound natural or correct... There is a noticeable STOP T/D in the latter.
Am I the only one who hears the "STOP T/D" in the verbs ending with ED?

Thank you so much for posting.

Fabulous

Rachel, thank you very much. I,ve learning English with you, the same way, as my native language, my congratulations, you the best

Learning English is an endless task. By far learning this verb's ed sounds is the most complex thing to learn because it needs to become second nature... Thank you Rachel for all your efforts and for being such natural teacher. God bless you!

I hiked efficiently on the mountian. connecting or likind d with e sounlike dfficiently on the mountain.

Hello Rachel, I have a question about proper noun for ex: TORONTO in Canada, why say TORONO and dropped ( T) ?

You are gorgeous. I love your hair. Besides, your great helpful videos. Thank you very much 🙂
