Hello, I'm Emma from mmmEnglish!
In this video, I'm going to go over the English
pronunciation of country names.
Now many of you have been asking for a video like this
because the way that native English speakers
say your country names,
can be quite different to the way that you do.
And this can be a real challenge for communication.
When you're listening to a native speaker,
or when you're speaking yourself,
to make sure that you're understood.
What's interesting with country names though,
is that on the one hand, there's the pronunciation
of the country name as it's pronounced
by the native population - by the people who live there.
Right? It's their native language!
Now often, English takes that pronunciation
and changes it or adapts it a little to make it easier
for native English speakers.
So on the other hand,
sometimes it sounds completely different!
And it might also sound slightly different depending on
which native English speaker you're speaking to.
So an Australian
might pronounce the same country name
slightly different to a Canadian or a British person.
Some native English people might pronounce this name
or they might say
So it depends on their accent.
This lesson will show you how to pronounce
all the different
country names or the hundred and ninety-three
that have been recognised by the United Nations.
And you'll also hear the pronunciation from me,
which will help you to improve your listening skills.
So I'll go through the names in alphabetical order
so if you're curious about a particular country,
then you can just skip forward in the video.
Now for my students,
I know that this video is going to be long,
but I think you should stay with me
and practise the whole time, out loud.
It's going to be a huge
English gym workout for your mouth.
I guarantee that we'll cover every single English sound
in this lesson.
Plus it's a really fantastic opportunity to revise
the international phonetic alphabet symbols, the IPA.
Okay? Revise those sounds and what they look like.
Alright, are you ready? Let's do this!
Now notice the little line there under the vowel.
This is the stressed syllable in this word
and I'm going to use this line
all the way through this lesson to show you
which syllable has the main stress
in English pronunciation,
which vowel is the strongest vowel.
You'll also see it shown
in the phonemic script here as well.
Now if you're wondering what these crazy symbols are
that I've put over here,
then make sure you check out this lesson
if you're curious to find out, you want to learn
more about the international phonetic alphabet
to help you improve your pronunciation,
check it out there.
Notice that the stressed syllable is the
as in 'day' vowel sound.
It's the same stress pattern as 'Albania'.
It's the /dʒ/ consonant sound.
So that stressed syllable is
as in 'door'.
Again, it's that same stress pattern.
The stress is on the second syllable
but notice as well that the consonant sound
is there instead of
I'm a little nervous about this one because
I'm not very good at saying it in English
but let's break it down together.
The second syllable is the stressed syllable
in the first word, it's the long
sound.
And the last two vowel letters are actually unstressed,
they make just one sound, the schwa.
The 'and' is reduced to
So there are two long vowel sounds here.
and
but it's the second one that's stressed
so it's pronounced a little more strong, a little clearer.
And finally, the last syllable is an unstressed syllable.
So the stress is on the third syllable this time.
So Argentinians and Spanish speakers,
notice that in English, we use the /dʒ/ consonant sound
not the /h/ sound.
Of course, you don't need to change your pronunciation
to be understood but to reduce your accent,
you would try to pronounce the /dʒ/ sound.
Can you hear the stressed syllable there?
So the main stress is on the second syllable.
That's the 'ay' as in 'day' vowel sound.
I come from Australia!
And since this is my home country,
I'll give you a couple of extra tips.
Many Australians are pretty lazy with their pronunciation
and with their syllable stress.
So you'll probably just hear
So the final
is reduced down to
And sometimes,
even the first syllable gets completely dropped.
So instead of
it's
So that's just a bit of insider knowledge for you!
Now very similar, is
But you'll hear that the stress pattern is different, okay?
The stress pattern
puts the stress on the first syllable.
Okay, the first syllable is stressed.
So the stressed syllable here is actually the last one.
Now I always thought it was
the /ʒ/ as in 'vision' not /dʒ/ as in 'jam'
But there you have it! I was pronouncing it wrong!
Whoop! We're already up to B!
Usually said, 'The Bahamas'.
So the stress is on the second syllable there.
Now, the long vowel sound is actually in the first syllable
but the second syllable is the one that's stressed.
Now I know I've got a lot of students
watching in Bangladesh,
so hello to all of you in Bangladesh!
The main stress here in English is on the final syllable.
But notice that the first syllable also has a stress as well
That middle syllable reduces down to the schwa.
So there's a long vowel sound in the first syllable
but the stress is on the second syllable.
And notice that the two A's
are actually pronounced differently.
So starting with
we have
The middle syllable is unstressed and it reduces
to become the schwa sound.
So the main stress is on the final syllable.
The stress is on the first syllable.
is the strongest sound.
And the 'I' and the 'U' create the unstressed
vowel sound, the schwa in the second syllable.
So hear how that stressed vowel sound is a long
vowel sound in the second syllable.
And we're finishing with that
consonant sound.
Again, hear that long vowel sound in the second syllable
It's unusual for the letter 'I' to be pronounced like that
but here we have it.
So again, there's a long vowel sound in the first syllable.
But the second syllable is the stressed one.
The first syllable is unstressed.
The stress is on the second syllable.
is the strong syllable there.
Two syllables are easy!
What about five?
So
Hear the /t/ sound that's added there?
That's the stressed syllable.
It's quite a mouthful!
So the stress here is on the second syllable.
So it's a little tricky
thanks to all of those consonant sounds there.
I also know I've got a lot of
students watching from Brazil too so hello to all of you!
In English, we really hit the final
/l/ consonant sound there in 'Brazil'.
So the unstressed schwa sound is heard in the
first syllable.
But the stressed sound is on the second syllable.
So the first syllable has a longer sound
but it's the second syllable that's stressed.
It's an unstressed syllable.
The second syllable there is the stressed syllable.
The stress there is on the second syllable.
So we hear the /ʊ/ as in 'book' vowel sound there.
You hear it twice, actually.
The second syllable is the stressed syllable though.
The stress is on the second syllable there.
It's the /əʊ/ in 'go' vowel sound.
So the stress there is on the final syllable,
it's the long vowel sound.
The stress is on the first syllable and see how the
second one's reduced to the schwa sound,
the unstressed sound.
It's probably one of the easiest country names
to pronounce and the people in Canada are also lovely.
They are the nicest, most polite people
that I've ever come across.
So, easy to say their name, very kind people.
Probably worth a visit!
So the final 'E' on 'Verde' here is
silent when spoken in English.
And there's that plural 'Islands' again.
It comes up all the time
when you're talking about countries, doesn't it?
Comes up very frequently.
It's the /aɪ/ as in 'my' or 'sky' vowel sound.
And it's followed by the unstressed
vowel sound, the schwa.
And notice that the plural 'S' is actually pronounced
as a voiced /z/ sound.
Three words.
The first syllable there is stressed.
The first syllable again, the second to reduce.
So can you hear that in 'Republic'
it's the second syllable that's stressed?
The first syllable reduces right down,
it becomes the schwa.
We're moving on to the 'ch' consonant sound here.
So bring the corners of your mouth in a little
and flare your lips to make this sound.
Now, most English speakers will say 'Chile' rather than
though those who have actually visited Chile
are probably likely to pronounce it
bit more like the locals.
Again, we have the 'ch' consonant sound.
The consonant sound is followed by the
/aɪ/ vowel sound,
/aɪ/ as in 'my'.
And then we have the final unstressed syllable.
Unstressed.
Or
Native English speakers will say both.
But the stress is on the second syllable.
So the stress here is on the first syllable.
Again, we learnt this one before.
And it's followed by two unstressed words.
They reduce down.
So the stressed there is on the first syllable.
Now, right next door to the Republic of the Congo
is the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
So that stress there, can you hear it?
So, both unstressed syllables are schwa sounds there.
So again, we have the /aɪ/ as in 'my' vowel sound here.
So we have a short syllable following.
So this is the /əʊ/ as in 'go' vowel sound.
Again, the /əʊ/ as in 'go' vowel sound.
So the middle syllable is the stressed one here.
And again, the /eɪ/ as in 'day' vowel sound.
The '-tia' here is actually pronounced as
So remember,
this is the English pronunciation of this word.
So it's not
but
Notice the /j/ sound that's included.
It's the consonant letter 'Y' that creates
the stressed vowel sound here.
The second syllable is shorter and lower in pitch.
This one's tricky for native English speakers too.
The first word,
sounds exactly like that word.
So we went over 'Republic' a few countries ago.
And the stressed syllable there is the second syllable.
And it's often used with the article, 'the'.
So there's quite a few words here,
but let's focus on the stress.
So we have the unstressed form of 'of'
It's low in pitch.
It kind of links to the end of 'Republic'.
So the middle syllable is stressed there.
The other two reduce to the schwa sound.
Also known as North Korea.
So that's the
vowel sound
followed by the unvoiced '-th' consonant sound.
Push that air out through your mouth.
The first syllable is stressed, it's the strongest.
That's the /dʒ/ as in 'jam' consonant sound.
And the /uː/ as in 'food' vowel sound.
Now be careful here,
the stress is actually on the third syllable.
It's the long
vowel sound, as in 'she'.
So the other syllables reduce down.
So there's a little stress change there between the two
that are very similar. It's not
But
There's a stress change, now we're stressing
the second syllable
and the others become short and fast.
So that's the long
vowel sound in 'east'.
So the stress is on the first syllable.
But note that there's a linking between these two words
that happens when English is spoken
because 'East' ends in the same consonant sound
that 'Timor' starts with.
We can push those words together
and we only pronounce the
sound once.
So can you hear that stress? It's on the first syllable.
So that last syllable is the /ɔː/ as in 'door' vowel sound.
So there's the long
vowel sound followed by the /dʒ/ consonant sound.
Now don't forget the last consonant sound, the /t/
So listen out for the final two consonants,
they are both there - though the
reduces a little and it's without the air pushing.
So in English, we hear that /v/ consonant sound clearly.
Make sure that your teeth are touching your bottom lip
to make that sound.
Where is the stress there?
It's the third syllable.
Now don't worry about all of the vowel letters
in the second word, it's simply pronounced
So the third syllable is the stressed one.
The others reduce down.
So that stressed syllable there is the second one.
The /əʊ/ vowel sound as in 'go'.
So the third syllable there is actually the strongest.
We have
It's the long
vowel sound.
So the consonant sound /dʒi/
The first syllable is stressed
and the second syllable is unstressed
so that vowel sound reduces down.
Notice that it is an
unvoiced /s/ consonant sound at the end there.
The second syllable there is the stressed one.
The first one reduces to the schwa.
So we have the unstressed 'the'
So that first syllable there is the strongest one.
So starting with the /dʒ/ consonant sound,
/dʒ/ as in 'jam'
then the
vowel sound.
Then we have the second syllable
which includes the unstressed schwa sound.
Same consonant sound again.
So we have the same vowel sound
and the first syllable is the stressed syllable.
That's the /ɜː/ as in 'her' vowel sound.
The two second syllables are reduced and unstressed.
The first syllable is stressed,
the second one unstressed.
Oh my gosh, we're up to 'Greece'.
If you haven't been to Greece, you have to go!
It is one of the most beautiful places that I've ever been.
And the food!
I'm just dreaming of a European summer right now,
it's cold here in Australia!
So we have one long sound of the vowel sound here
because there is just one syllable.
The final
consonant sound.
Watch that middle syllable there, the stressed one.
The sound is the /eɪ/ vowel sound like in 'day'.
Not
So we've got four syllables here
and the third one is stressed.
Now we've already talked about Guinea with
Equatorial Guinea,
so remember that you don't need to worry about
all of the vowel letters here, okay?
It's just pronounced
Ah and here we have it again,
so the stress is on the last syllable in the second word.
It's the /aʊ/ as in 'now' vowel sound.
The stress here is on the second syllable.
But the first syllable also includes
a stronger vowel sound.
So here the 'ai' is pronounced /eɪ/
in the same way as 'day'. It's the same vowel sound.
So the stress there is on the second syllable
- also the most trickiest.
Notice the extra little syllable there,
so it sounds different from the adjective 'hungry'
So that's the first syllable that's stressed.
/aɪ/ as in 'buy' or 'my'
The next syllable is unstressed.
You hear the schwa sound.
The stress there is on the first syllable.
I know I've got a lot of students watching in India as well
so I'm really pleased to say hello to all of you!
So here, we've got the third syllable stressed.
So that's the /ʒ/ consonant sound like in 'vision'
Now, Indonesians will probably pronounce that as
So that /s/ consonant sound is different to
Indonesia is
also a beautiful country to visit for a holiday.
Or, some native speakers will say
So the second syllable is where the stress is
and the vowel sound might be slightly different.
Same for
and
I say
So, this is a little tricky, it's pronounced
slightly different to 'Ireland'.
There's an extra schwa sound in there.
Notice that I don't pronounce that /r/ there but
Irish English speakers will, they will pronounce
There's my rubbish Irish accent but
note that there will be a few distinctions between
native English accents and that's one of them.
I would say
and Irish people would say something like
Anyway, if you want to practise with an Irish accent,
practise pronouncing that /r/
That first syllable is the stressed syllable.
The first syllable is the stressed syllable,
the other two reduce.
Okay, let's take a break!
Quick ad break, grab a mouthful of water,
shake things up a little bit and relax.
Then come back and join me for the letter J.
So that's the /dʒ/ as in 'jam' consonant sound.
The second syllable is the stressed one
and the others reduce.
So that's the /eɪ/ as in 'day' vowel sound.
Again, we have the /dʒ/ consonant sound
followed by the schwa, which tells us that the
first syllable is unstressed.
So that's the /æ/ as in 'apple'
- strong vowel sound in the second syllable.
Again, the /dʒ/ consonant sound followed by the
/ɔː/ vowel sound, /ɔː/ as in 'door'
The second syllable is unstressed.
So the stress there is on the final syllable.
And there's quite a few countries that end
with this suffix, '-stan'
Okay, so you'll hear native English speakers
pronouncing it either
or
So that stress is on the first syllable.
The third syllable is the stressed one.
That's the /ʊ/ as in 'book' vowel sound.
The /eɪ/ vowel sound
So you'll see that the third syllable
is is the stressed syllable.
But the first syllable is also quite strong,
it's a secondary stress.
This is the /aʊ/ as in 'now' vowel sound.
The first syllable is the stressed one.
The first syllable is stressed
and the second and third syllables are unstressed.
Okay this one, I have been
saying incorrectly for my whole entire life!
It's not
like I've been saying, but it's
So the stress is on the second syllable there.
That's the /uː/ as in 'zoo' vowel sound.
And the '-th' you don't need to pronounce
as a /th/ sound, it's just
So the first syllable is the /aɪ/ as in 'buy' vowel sound.
So the second syllable is stressed and it has the
/ɪə/ as in 'here' vowel sound.
So the first syllable there is the strongest as well.
'Liech' is the strongest syllable.
That's the /aɪ/ as in 'buy' vowel sound.
So it's the third syllable that's stressed.
So we have the /ks/ consonant sounds together.
So that last syllable there,
is pronounced - the vowel sound is pronounced /ɜː/
as in 'her'.
So we have a couple of stressed syllables here
but the third one is the strongest.
The first syllable is also quite strong.
So the middle syllable there is the stressed one,
the strongest syllable.
The second syllable there is the stressed one.
The other two are unstressed syllables so they reduce.
And just like 'Indonesia', you'll hear the
/ʒ/ consonant sound.
/ʒ/ as in 'vision'
I used to live in Malaysia actually, in Penang.
Also delicious food!
Lots of beautiful places to visit too, I recommend it.
Not 'The Maldives' but
The /ɔː/ as in 'door' vowel sound is the stressed sound.
Then you hear the long
vowel sound in the second syllable.
Gosh the Maldives is one place that I would love to visit!
Have you ever been? I hear it's quite expensive but
maybe that's why people go there for their honeymoon.
But it's on my bucket list, I really want to go!
So that long /ɑ:/ vowel sound is the stressed sound.
Now you might hear the vowel sound
in that stressed syllable pronounced slightly differently
by different native English speakers but I say
So 'Mar' is the stressed syllable
and then you're adding the
consonant sound.
So that stressed syllable there is the third,
the /eɪ/ as in 'day' vowel sound.
And we can hear the first sound quite clearly too.
So the first syllable is unstressed,
you can see that it reduces to the schwa.
So there's the stressed syllable
So we have
So hear as well, how the third syllable reduces down
to the schwa.
Okay now in English, it's
Another place that is on my bucket list!
Watch out for the consonant cluster here
in the English pronunciation, you have
Okay that last syllable uses the
/əʊ/ as in 'go' vowel sound.
Now think back to 'Indonesia', this is very similar, right?
It's the same stress pattern.
/ʒ/ is the consonant sound there.
Okay it's that long vowel sound.
So we've got two letter O's here
but they're pronounced differently.
The main stress, in the second syllable
is pronounced as /əʊ/
like the verb 'go'
So the first syllable is stressed
and the second syllable relaxes to become the schwa.........
So the second syllable there is stressed.
The third syllable there is stressed.
You can hear that the first one is also quite strong.
And that final syllable there is the /əʊ/
as in 'go' sound.
So the second syllable there is the stressed one.
So that final syllable is the
vowel sound
but the stress syllable in the middle is the short
sound.
So the first syllable, we have the /əʊ/ vowel sound.
And the last syllable is the stressed syllable.
It's louder and clearer.
The long
vowel sound.
This is actually an interesting word
for native English speakers to try and pronounce
because the /m/ and /j/ consonant sounds
don't often appear together in English.
But it's the second syllable that is stressed.
Can you hear that second syllable is the stressed one?
Three syllables here and the second one is stressed.
So if there any Australians watching at this point,
our neighbours, our little neighbours must be pretty sick
of us calling their country
It's
So it's the second syllable that's stressed here
and the vowel is the /ɔː/
as in 'door' vowel sound.
So we have an unstressed 'the',
followed by the stressed syllable
And then followed by the voiced consonant sound
Can you see that extra /j/
there that's included in the word 'New'?
Try to make sure that you can hear that word.
Then the second word, 'Zealand'
has the first syllable stressed.
You'll hear lots of English pronunciations of this one
which is quite different from the way that
Nicaraguans actually pronounce their country name.
But this is how English speakers usually pronounce it.
or
Okay so there is two different pronunciations
that you'll hear native English speakers using.
is much closer to the French pronunciation of this word
which I think makes it a little more correct,
but you'll hear
quite a lot, as well.
And that might be because of 'Nigeria'
where you hear the second syllable stressed
that's the /ɪə/ as in 'here' vowel sound.
So for 'Norway', you'll hear the first syllable stressed
it's much louder and much stronger
than the second one.
The second syllable has the strongest stress
and it's the longer vowel sound.
/ɑː/ like in 'father'
So again, you'll always hear the stressed
syllable pronounced slightly differently depending on
which native speaker you're listening to
but you'll hear a strong first syllable and the main
third syllable stressed.
See the unstressed syllable at the start.
And the stronger
as the second syllable
The first and the last syllables there are quite strong.
So the first word has three syllables
Again, lots of vowel letters in that last word
but it's just pronounced
So the first syllable is stressed and
the third syllable is quite interesting, it's pronounced
Another place on my bucket list.
First syllable unstressed. Second syllable stressed.
So in English, the '-ph' makes the
consonant .
The first two syllables are very short and fast.
It's the
voiced consonant sound.
So here, in the first stressed syllable we have the /əʊ/
as in 'go' vowel sound
Another beautiful country!
So that's the /ɔː/ as in 'door'
sound in the first and stressed syllable.
That's an unstressed syllable at the end.
Very low in pitch.
or
depending on which English speaker you hear!
or
So the stress changes there.
Now the main stress is on the second syllable
so it's /eɪ/ as in 'day'
And the first syllable is unstressed
so it reduces right down.
Sometimes to the schwa, sometimes you'll hear
but
usually the schwa.
The stress is on the first syllable there and it is a
short vowel sound
the /ʌ/ vowel sound as in 'up'
Followed by - so the double S here,
S-S-I-A
makes
the /ʃ/ consonant sound.
That's the unstressed schwa sound at the end.
So the first syllable you have the
/uː/ as in 'shoe' vowel sound
but the second syllable is stressed
So for 'Saint'
it's often said quite quickly as
Hear how 'and' reduces to
and links to the consonant sound before it
That's a longer vowel sound there on the first syllable.
The stress on the first syllable is
then '-cia' is pronounced as
So we have
Again, we can link that
vowel sound to the consonant sound.
is the stressed syllable there
That stressed syllable is the /əʊ/
as in 'go' vowel sound.
So the stress there is on
Now I have to admit that I'm not the best person
to pronounce this correctly
but as a native English speaker,
who doesn't speak Portuguese,
I'm going to give it my best shot!
So we have
that's the /aʊ/ as in 'now' vowel sound.
So that
is unstressed, you can see the schwa there.
is stressed, sounds like /eɪ/ as in 'day'
It kind of rhymes!
So you have the stressed syllable in
So the last syllable here is the stressed syllable.
It's the /ɔː/ as in 'door' vowel sound.
So that stress is on the first syllable.
Now the second syllable is actually the stressed one.
Sounds a lot like
shells.
And don't forget the plural /z/ sound at the end.
Now it's actually the last syllable that's stressed there.
It's the /əʊ/ as in 'go' vowel sound.
It's the first syllable that's stressed.
We have that /ŋ/
consonant sound.
That unstressed vowel sound.
You can hear that stress is on the second syllable.
It has the same stress pattern.
It's that long
vowel sound.
So the stress there is on the first syllable.
You can see how the other two syllables in 'Solomon'
reduce to the schwa.
The second syllable is the strongest.
So in the first word we have the /aʊ/
as in 'now' vowel sound.
and the unvoiced '-th'
is the strongest syllable in 'Africa'
And the consonant
and the
vowel sound can link together.
So we have 'South'
So that's the second syllable that's stressed there.
I'm pretty excited!
I'm visiting South Korea next week and it's my first time
to visit South Korea. I'm going to Seoul, the capital.
So I think that
street food is pretty amazing there in South Korea
so I'm going to eat as much as I can while I'm there
and I'll report back.
So the second syllable there is the stressed one.
Spain - also delicious food oh my gosh.
This video is making me hungry!
has the /eɪ/ as in 'day' vowel sound.
Notice that the consonant is the
consonant, okay?
is unstressed so it's quite short and low in pitch.
But our main syllable, the stressed syllable is
which we went over a few minutes ago.
Now this first vowel sound is quite an uncommon one,
it's the /ʊə/ as in 'tour' vowel sound.
And the last syllable is the stressed syllable.
Now I just found out that only a few months ago did
this country name change!
And now it's not called Swaziland, it's known as
The Kingdom of eSwatini.
So forget Swaziland,
it's The Kingdom of eSwatini now.
So that stressed syllable is the first
syllable and it's a long vowel sound.
So our strongest syllable is
It's a short vowel sound but we have the
the consonant cluster
The Y makes a short vowel sound.
So the main stress here like all of the other '-stans'
is on the last syllable but we can also hear
the first syllable clearly.
So here, we've got the third syllable is stressed.
It's a short vowel sound but it's the strongest.
Now the '-th' doesn't make the usual
sound here, it's not
but
So in English, actually we pronounce
'Thailand' with a stress on the first syllable.
Thai people usually stress the second syllable.
Another beautiful country with delicious food!
So we have the same vowel sound that's repeated,
it's the /əʊ/ as in 'go' sound.
The stress is on the first syllable
with the second syllable
being the reduced schwa sound.
so that's all short vowel sounds
the reduced 'and' sound
that's the /eɪ/ as in 'day' vowel sound.
So notice here the /j/ consonant sound.
Not
but
The stressed syllable is the first one and it's the /ɜː/
as in 'her' vowel sound.
So again, we're starting with the /ɜː/ vowel sound here
Now 'men' is the secondary stress here
so we hear it a little more clearly.
'-stan' is the strongest syllable.
The second syllable is the strongest one and they're
all long vowel sounds.
We have that
sound there,
The second syllable is stressed.
Again we have that
pronunciation.
The second syllable is the stressed one.
It's the /eɪ/ as in 'day' vowel sound.
So you have
The stress in 'Emirates' is on the first syllable.
Now of course the United Kingdom is made up of
England, Scotland, Wales
and Northern Ireland.
And I want to highlight 'England' because
some of my students, particularly my
Chinese and Korean students,
they have trouble with the first vowel sound in 'England'
It's a short /ɪ/
Not the
vowel sound.
It's English, not
It's England, not
Okay so focus on that short /ɪ/ sound.
Notice how the second syllable reduces to the schwa.
We've been over this one.
So 'States' has the 'eɪ/
/eɪ/ as in 'day' vowel sound.
reduced sound there
Okay so we have
It's that second syllable that's stressed and strongest.
So you can hear at the end there that that
is pronounced as /aɪ/ like 'bye'
It's the /ʊ/
as in 'book' vowel sound at the start.
so 'bek' is the second stress
'-stan' is the strongest stress.
That third syllable is the stressed one.
Notice that in English, the pronunciation
of that V is
instead of
it's
Just like
Again, that /y/ sound
but the stress is on the first syllable.
The first syllable is stressed.
The second syllable is the strong one.
We made it!
If you stayed with me the whole way
through that lesson, give yourself a huge
pat on the back.
That was insane!
I'm completely exhausted now!
But keep in mind that this is the standard English
pronunciation of these countries,
in my Australian accent.
So there's definitely going to be variations,
when you listen to pronunciation
between native English speakers.
But learning and practising the English pronunciation
with me is going to help you to communicate a little
more clearly and to help your listening skills as well.
I need a glass of water.
I need to drink about three of those, I'm sure you do too.
This has been such a great
pronunciation practice lesson.
It's literally like taking your
mouth to the gym for a workout, I think
you probably need about five minutes break before I
send you to another video so I won't recommend any
just yet.
