Something about English pronunciation
2008-04-16 18:02:00 As I live in Malaysia, I notice that most Malaysians are influenced by Malay pronunciation when they pronounce English words. The following are some examples of how Malaysians utter words in English as influenced by Malay. 1 c [soft k] in cat is pronounced as k [hard k] in dekat [near in Malay] 2 p [soft p] in pan is uttered as p [hard p] in depan [front in Malay] 3 k [soft k] in kit is articulated as k [hard k] in sedikit [a little in Malay] 4 t [soft t] in tap is pronounced as t [hard t] in tetap (fixed in Malay). 5 p in stop is uttered without parting the lips as in p in tutup [close in Malay] N.B. Soft k is pronounced as k as in kick with air coming out from the mouth. So are soft k, soft t and soft p. Hard k is pronounced without no air coming out from the mouth. So are hard t and hard p.

Pronunciation
2008-03-26 21:42:00 To quote Te Ara, the NZ Enclyopedia:Wh: There is some difference of opinion in respect to the correct pronunciation of the wh sound. It is not a compound of w and h, but represents the single voiceless consonant corresponding with w and is pronounced by emitting the breath sharply between the lips. Most tribes in New Zealand today assimilate the sound to that of f in English.With that in mind, here's an example of NZ advertising.

Pronunciation: Course
2008-01-22 00:00:00 People who are learning English like to pronounce the word ‘course’ like ‘curse’ probably because of the Portuguese word ‘curso’.

Wrong pronunciation of 'their'
2008-01-15 17:11:00 Malaysian students will usually pronounce the pronoun 'their' as 'di ar'. When I had not delved deeper into English, I also pronounced it the same way. However, my exposure to BBC audio files and my reference to the correct pronunciation in the Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries show that the word 'their' should be pronounced exactly like the word 'there'. The next time you see the sentence 'It's all their own doing.', you should pronounce it as if it is written 'It's all there own doing.' Happy studying English.

2007-08-17 07:17:00 When I teach my ESL students how to pronounce regular past tense verbs (those ending in "-ed," I follow a step-by-step process.Here are the steps I follow:1) First, I teach the concept of voicing, or voiced and unvoiced sounds (aka voiceless sounds).2) Next, I teach how to pronounce /t/ and /d/.3) Finally, I teach the rules for which past tense verbs end with /t/, /d/, and /id/ sounds.I find that that this methodical approach works best to help my ESL students really learn past tense pronunciation. It takes more time, but I find it very effective.Here's more info on English Past Tense Pronunciation.--end--
