Where are you from, Billie?

❤Please make a big and explained video about "international phonetic Alphabet pronunciation "❤

Is it just me or do I hear a bit of a German accent? Or is it Aussie? So confusing..😅

Jazakillah

Is there a continuity of vowels between the ones that are shown. Can this be used as a framework for understanding regional accents. I ask as I am trying to tone down my North English accent.

Thank you. I learned a lot upon my second viewing of this. Very helpful for my singing course about vowels.

Where is the front u:? The one we use most of the time, apart from when we use the back u: in words like; school, rule, cool, Mule, Pool.

Thanks Billie

I don't understand this diagram.

"But" for ^ sound

But for ^ sound.

Yeah this vowel's "ʌ" example is missing from trapezium. Which is fun (fʌn)

One vowel (the inverted V) is missed in the word "fuss".

You have explained it without a pointer or a stick!

Great presentation!

Thank you ❤❤❤

Nice

Great 👍

Who is here in 2023 😂😂😂

Thank you so much. 🎉

Thanks!!!

Well u missed the word example for /\
😢

Very helpful video thkx teacher

The American English has 44 sounds, would you say the British English has 45, since it has the /ɒ/ vowel (as in HOT ) and the American English doesn't?

Marvelous!
I'm really impressed!
Great teacher you are maem.

I was learning for the phonetics test at university and this video was very helpful😊

Hello Billie how are you I'm live in Barcelona you are come here to Barcelona vacation

Where exactly your accent is from, Billie?

I have learnt something new from this video

Thanks for the teaching me :) from Indonesian ❤

There's a missing representation of the sound that is beside the long o. Meaning there are 12 sounds and 11 words. The sound in the word /but/, which I tend to confuse with the one in /apple/.

Maam i have query about this chart I've search vowel chart at google there are different position of vowels from your chart

Non-native speakers ought to actually see a mouth uttering all the different sounds.

Dear Madam,

I am incredibly grateful for the wonderful video you shared. Your dedication to teaching is truly inspiring, and I wanted to express my heartfelt thanks. I have learned so much from your guidance, and it has been an enlightening experience.

I do have a small suggestion, which I hope you will consider with your vast knowledge and expertise. It would be immensely helpful if you could include a word for the "^" IPA symbol. I noticed that in the video, you covered 12 vowel sounds, but there were only 11 examples provided. Additionally, I observed that the symbol "e" was labeled as Open-Mid in the video, while on the IPA chart, it is categorized as Closed-Mid. I bring this up with the utmost respect for your expertise and to ensure the accuracy of the information.

Once again, I want to emphasize my gratitude for your teachings. Your ability to convey information in a calm, composed, and soul-touching manner is truly remarkable, and I aspire to speak as eloquently as you do. I have gained a wealth of knowledge from your lessons, and I am eager to continue learning from you in the future.

Thank you for your time and for sharing your expertise with all of us.

Hi Billie... I'm your new student... I've been following you since last 15 days...plz share cardinal vowel sound video

still confused 😵‍💫

The picture of the chart z not clear

I have gained a lot of insights after watching this video. Thanks a lot

The only difference I hear between your a: and your backwards ɒ, is that you are speaking the latter much quicker, & adding a w sound to it (diphthongization)

Sound to me like in your dialect of English you have no ae mashed together, sound when you drop an anvil on your toe AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! So methinks that in your dialect you may be losing the nasty negative sound symbolism of the aaaaaa sound, ae mashed together!

I am very happy for this video

Amazing!

Brilliant ❤

Non-rhotic accent

I'm a General American speaker, and we have 13 pure vowels.
Our extra sound is called the Close-mid front unrounded vowel. It is used in words like May, Day, Stay, and Lay.
I found that 7 vowels are identical between the accents. I'll list words for the 5 examples where Received Pronunciation uses sounds that we don't.
Hat
Bird
Yawn
Foot
Nut

Thnx miss, that was useful

I'm watching this from MOROCCO ❤🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦

Yup, super enlightening and easy to understand👌

Thanks from egypt
