Transcript

Welcome back to Seattle Learning Academy's American English Pronunciation podcast.

This is podcast number two. My name is Mandy. I hope you enjoyed our last podcast, the th sounds podcast.

I also hope you went to www.pronuncian.com for more th sounds lessons and practice. Pronuncian.com is also where you can find transcripts and show notes to all our podcasts. Today's practice will be 5 sets of minimal pairs: dime, time; dense, tense; code, coat; tide, tight, and spend, spent. We'll come back to those later. I introduced the concept of voiced and unvoiced sounds during the th sounds podcast.

In case you've forgotten, we have both a voiced and an unvoiced th sound. I also hope you remember that the th sounds are a type of sound called fricatives. Fricatives are continuous sounds that are created by allowing only a small amount of air to leave the mouth. Today I am going to tell you about another kind of consonant sound, the stops. Specifically, we are going to explore the t sound (t sound) and d sound (d sound). These sounds are called stops because to create them, we briefly stop all air from leaving the mouth, and we then make the sound when the air is released. Do you remember from last week's show that consonants often have voiced and unvoiced pairs?

The d sound and t sound is another pair. Before we talk about how to correctly create the English version of these sounds, I want you to play with the inside of your mouth with your tongue. Don't feel silly, nobody can actually see you doing this. Notice that right behind your upper teeth, you have a hard, bony, bump. That bump was necessary for creating the friction of our th sounds last week. Then that bump rises and there is a slope up to the roof of your mouth, which is also hard and bumpy. Then, if you place the tip of your tongue all the way to the back of your mouth, you feel some soft tissue. We will keep coming back to these three places at the top of your mouth. I will call them the tooth ridge, that's that bump at the front, the roof of the mouth, that's the hard bony part in the middle, and the soft palate, that's the soft part at the back of your mouth. Now, back to our d sound and t sound .

When creating these two sounds, your tongue should briefly touch the front of the tooth ridge, then let go with a small puff of air. The difference between the sounds is the use of our vocal cords. In case you haven't noticed yet, the d sound is the voiced sound, and the t sound is the unvoiced sound. (d sound, t sound) An error I specifically hear with the d sound and t sound is that the tip of the tongue is pressed against the roof of the mouth or at the very back of that ridge instead of at the front of it.

This is called retroflexing, and it creates a different sound than the American d sound or t sound. According to Wikipedia, retroflexing is not common among European languages, but is common for the languages of the Indian subcontinent.

This very much agrees with my teaching experience. My students who speak Hindi, Tamil, and Punjabi all tend to retroflex their d sound and t sound s. It creates a hollow sound. If you are a native speaker of a language from India, pay special attention to these two sounds. Also, go to the Pronuncian webpage to see an illustration of where the tip of your tongue should be for these sounds. Another error I hear is that many students don't allow the puff of air to come out after the initial stop of the sound.

That puff of air is where the majority of the sound comes from and is even more important at the beginning of a word than the end of the word. If your native language does not have both the t sound and the d sound in all parts of a word, it is likely that you will substitute one for the other.

I hear students not voice the d sound more frequently than accidentally voicing a t sound, but it does go both ways. Let's practice some d sound / t sound minimal pairs.

I want you to notice the placement of your tongue during the sound, the puff of air that comes out of your mouth when the tongue releases, and whether the sound is voiced or unvoiced. Ready?

Repeat after me if you want the most benefit of this podcast. dime, time dense, tense code, coat tide, tight spend, spent Very good.

Most people who have visited or lived in the United States have noticed that we sometimes do some strange things to represent the t sound .

We don't always say a t sound where we would see the letter t written. I promise I will come back to those strange issues in later podcasts. It is actually rather complicated, but there are guidelines to help you. For now, just work on correctly saying the sounds. Understanding voiced and unvoiced sounds is also a key component of understanding -ed endings.

We pronounce the -ed differently based on the last sound of the original word. I promise I will also address that in an upcoming podcast. That's all for the d sound and t sound today.

Don't forget to also keep practicing the sentence from the th sounds podcast, "Think about this thing, that thing, and those things" in addition to our 5 miminal pairs from today. Let's repeat those one more time. dime, time dense, tense code, coat tide, tight spend, spent Nice job everyone, and thanks for listening.

Welcome back to Seattle Learning Academy’s American English Pronunciation podcast. Bem-vindo de volta ao podcast de Pronúncia do Inglês Americano da Seattle Learning Academy. Seattle Learning Academy'nin Amerikan İngilizcesi Telaffuz podcast'ine tekrar hoş geldiniz.

This is podcast number two. Este é o podcast número dois. Bu iki numaralı podcast. My name is Mandy. O meu nome é Mandy. I hope you enjoyed our last podcast, the th sounds podcast. Espero que tenham gostado do nosso último podcast, o podcast th sounds. Umarım son podcast'imiz olan th sounds podcast'imizi beğenmişsinizdir.

I also hope you went to www.pronuncian.com for more th sounds lessons and practice. Espero também que tenhas ido a www.pronuncian.com para mais aulas e prática dos sons. Pronuncian.com is also where you can find transcripts and show notes to all our podcasts. O Pronuncian.com é também o sítio onde se encontram as transcrições e as notas de todos os nossos podcasts. Pronuncian.com aynı zamanda tüm podcast'lerimizin transkriptlerini ve notlarını bulabileceğiniz yerdir. Today’s practice will be 5 sets of minimal pairs: dime, time; dense, tense; code, coat; tide, tight, and spend, spent. A prática de hoje consistirá em 5 conjuntos de pares mínimos: dime, time; dense, tense; code, coat; tide, tight, e spend, spent. We’ll come back to those later. Voltaremos a elas mais tarde. I introduced the concept of voiced and unvoiced sounds during the th sounds podcast. Introduzi o conceito de sons sonoros e não sonoros durante o podcast th sounds.

In case you’ve forgotten, we have both a voiced and an unvoiced th sound. Caso se tenha esquecido, temos um som de th sonoro e um som de th não sonoro. I also hope you remember that the th sounds are a type of sound called fricatives. Espero também que te lembres que os sons do th são um tipo de som chamado fricativo. Ayrıca th seslerinin frikatif denilen bir ses türü olduğunu da hatırladığınızı umuyorum. Fricatives are continuous sounds that are created by allowing only a small amount of air to leave the mouth. 摩擦音は、ほんの少しの空気だけが口から出るのを許すことによって作られる連続的な音です。 As fricativas são sons contínuos que são criados ao permitir que apenas uma pequena quantidade de ar saia da boca. Sürtünmeli sesler, ağızdan yalnızca küçük bir miktar havanın çıkmasına izin verilerek oluşturulan sürekli seslerdir. Today I am going to tell you about another kind of consonant sound, the stops. 今日は別の種類の子音、ストップについてお話します。 Hoje vou falar-vos de outro tipo de sons consonânticos, os "stops". Bugün size başka bir ünsüz sesinden, duraklardan bahsedeceğim. Specifically, we are going to explore the t sound (t sound) and d sound (d sound). Especificamente, vamos explorar o som do t (som do t) e o som do d (som do d). Spesifik olarak, t sesini (t sesi) ve d sesini (d sesi) keşfedeceğiz. These sounds are called stops because to create them, we briefly stop all air from leaving the mouth, and we then make the sound when the air is released. これらの音はストップと呼ばれます。音を作成するために、すべての空気が口から出るのを一時的に停止し、空気が解放されたときに音を出します。 Estes sons chamam-se "stops" porque, para os criar, impedimos brevemente que o ar saia da boca e, depois, produzimos o som quando o ar é libertado. Bu seslere durak denir çünkü onları oluşturmak için ağızdan tüm havanın çıkmasını kısa bir süreliğine durdururuz ve ardından hava serbest kaldığında sesi çıkarırız. Do you remember from last week’s show that consonants often have voiced and unvoiced pairs? Lembra-se do programa da semana passada que as consoantes têm frequentemente pares vocálicos e não vocálicos? Geçen haftaki şovdan ünsüzlerin genellikle sesli ve sessiz çiftlere sahip olduğunu hatırlıyor musunuz?

The d sound and t sound is another pair. O som d e o som t são outro par. d sesi ve t sesi başka bir çifttir. Before we talk about how to correctly create the English version of these sounds, I want you to play with the inside of your mouth with your tongue. これらのサウンドの英語バージョンを正しく作成する方法について説明する前に、口の中で舌で遊んでほしいです。 Antes de falarmos sobre como criar corretamente a versão inglesa destes sons, quero que brinque com o interior da sua boca com a sua língua. Bu seslerin İngilizce versiyonunu doğru bir şekilde nasıl oluşturacağımızdan bahsetmeden önce, dilinizle ağzınızın içi ile oynamanızı istiyorum. Don’t feel silly, nobody can actually see you doing this. Não se sinta tolo, ninguém o pode ver a fazer isto. Aptal gibi hissetme, bunu yaparken kimse seni gerçekten göremez. Notice that right behind your upper teeth, you have a hard, bony, bump. 上歯のすぐ後ろに、固い骨のような隆起があることに注意してください。 Repare que, mesmo atrás dos seus dentes superiores, tem uma protuberância dura e óssea. Üst dişlerinizin hemen arkasında sert, kemikli bir çıkıntının olduğuna dikkat edin. That bump was necessary for creating the friction of our th sounds last week. そのバンプは、先週私たちの音の摩擦を作成するために必要でした。 Esse solavanco foi necessário para criar a fricção dos nossos sons na semana passada. Bu çarpma, geçen hafta th seslerimizin sürtünmesini yaratmak için gerekliydi. Then that bump rises and there is a slope up to the roof of your mouth, which is also hard and bumpy. 次に、その隆起が上がり、口の屋根までの坂があり、これも固くてでこぼこです。 Depois, essa protuberância sobe e há um declive até ao céu da boca, que também é duro e acidentado. Sonra o tümsek yükselir ve ağzınızın damağına kadar bir yokuş gelir ki bu da yine sert ve engebelidir. Then, if you place the tip of your tongue all the way to the back of your mouth, you feel some soft tissue. 次に、舌の先端を口の奥まで配置すると、軟組織が感じられます。 Depois, se colocarmos a ponta da língua até à parte de trás da boca, sentimos alguns tecidos moles. Ardından, dilinizin ucunu ağzınızın arkasına kadar yerleştirirseniz, bir miktar yumuşak doku hissedersiniz. We will keep coming back to these three places at the top of your mouth. 私たちはあなたの口の上部にあるこれらの3つの場所に戻ってきます。 Continuaremos a regressar a estes três locais no céu da boca. Ağzınızın ucundaki bu üç yere tekrar gelmeye devam edeceğiz. I will call them the tooth ridge, that’s that bump at the front, the roof of the mouth, that’s the hard bony part in the middle, and the soft palate, that’s the soft part at the back of your mouth. 私はそれらを歯の隆起と呼びます、それは前部の隆起、口の屋根、それは真ん中の硬い骨の部分です、そして柔らかい口蓋はあなたの口の後ろの柔らかい部分です。 Chamar-lhes-ei a crista dentária, que é a saliência na frente, o céu da boca, que é a parte óssea dura no meio, e o palato mole, que é a parte mole na parte de trás da boca. Onlara diş sırtı diyeceğim, bu öndeki tümsek, ağzın çatısı, ortadaki sert kemikli kısım ve yumuşak damak, ağzınızın arkasındaki yumuşak kısım. Now, back to our d sound and t sound . Agora, voltemos ao som do d e ao som do t .

When creating these two sounds, your tongue should briefly touch the front of the tooth ridge, then let go with a small puff of air. これらの2つのサウンドを作成するときは、舌が歯根の正面に少し触れた後、少量の空気を抜いてください。 Ao criar estes dois sons, a língua deve tocar brevemente na parte da frente da crista do dente e depois soltá-la com uma pequena lufada de ar. Bu iki sesi çıkarırken, diliniz diş çıkıntısının ön kısmına kısaca değmeli ve ardından küçük bir hava üflemesiyle bırakmalıdır. The difference between the sounds is the use of our vocal cords. 音の違いは声帯の使い方です。 A diferença entre os sons é a utilização das nossas cordas vocais. In case you haven’t noticed yet, the d sound is the voiced sound, and the t sound is the unvoiced sound. Caso ainda não tenha reparado, o som do d é o som sonoro, e o som do t é o som surdo. (d sound, t sound) (som d, som t) An error I specifically hear with the d sound and t sound is that the tip of the tongue is pressed against the roof of the mouth or at the very back of that ridge instead of at the front of it. 私が特にd音とt音で聞くエラーは、舌の先端が口の屋根またはその前部ではなく尾根の一番後ろに押し付けられていることです。 Um erro que ouço especificamente com o som do d e o som do t é que a ponta da língua é pressionada contra o céu da boca ou na parte de trás dessa crista em vez de na frente dela. Özellikle d sesi ve t sesiyle ilgili duyduğum bir hata, dilin ucunun damağa ya da çıkıntının önü yerine en arkasına bastırılmasıdır.

This is called retroflexing, and it creates a different sound than the American d sound or t sound. Isto chama-se retroflexão e cria um som diferente do som do d americano ou do som do t. According to Wikipedia, retroflexing is not common among European languages, but is common for the languages of the Indian subcontinent. ウィキペディアによると、レトロフレックスはヨーロッパの言語では一般的ではありませんが、インド亜大陸の言語では一般的です。 Segundo a Wikipédia, o retroflexo não é comum nas línguas europeias, mas é comum nas línguas do subcontinente indiano.

This very much agrees with my teaching experience. Isto está muito de acordo com a minha experiência de ensino. My students who speak Hindi, Tamil, and Punjabi all tend to retroflex their d sound and t sound s. It creates a hollow sound. ヒンディー語、タミル語、パンジャブ語を話す私の生徒は全員、dサウンドとtサウンドsをレトロフレックスする傾向があります。それは中空の音を作成します。 Os meus alunos que falam Hindi, Tamil e Punjabi tendem todos a retrofletir o som do d e do t. Isso cria um som oco. If you are a native speaker of a language from India, pay special attention to these two sounds. Se é um falante nativo de uma língua da Índia, preste especial atenção a estes dois sons. Hindistan'dan bir dilin anadili iseniz, bu iki sese özellikle dikkat edin. Also, go to the Pronuncian webpage to see an illustration of where the tip of your tongue should be for these sounds. Além disso, acede à página Web do Pronuncian para ver uma ilustração de onde deve estar a ponta da língua para estes sons. Ayrıca, bu sesler için dilinizin ucunun nerede olması gerektiğine dair bir resim görmek için Pronuncian web sayfasına gidin. Another error I hear is that many students don’t allow the puff of air to come out after the initial stop of the sound. 私が聞くもう一つのエラーは、多くの学生が最初の音の停止後に空気の吹き出しが出るのを許さないということです。 Outro erro que ouço é que muitos alunos não permitem que o sopro de ar saia após a paragem inicial do som. Duyduğum başka bir hata da birçok öğrencinin sesin ilk kesilmesinden sonra havanın dışarı çıkmasına izin vermemesi.

That puff of air is where the majority of the sound comes from and is even more important at the beginning of a word than the end of the word. その空気の吹き出しは、音の大部分が由来する場所であり、単語の終わりよりも単語の最初のほうがさらに重要です。 Esse sopro de ar é de onde vem a maior parte do som e é ainda mais importante no início de uma palavra do que no fim da palavra. Bu hava üflemesi sesin çoğunun geldiği yerdir ve kelimenin başında kelimenin sonundan daha önemlidir. If your native language does not have both the t sound and the d sound in all parts of a word, it is likely that you will substitute one for the other. 母国語のt音とd音の両方が単語のすべての部分にない場合は、一方を他方に置き換える可能性があります。 Se a sua língua materna não tiver o som t e o som d em todas as partes de uma palavra, é provável que substitua um pelo outro. Ana dilinizde bir kelimenin tüm kısımlarında hem t sesi hem de d sesi yoksa, muhtemelen birini diğerinin yerine koyarsınız.

I hear students not voice the d sound more frequently than accidentally voicing a t sound, but it does go both ways. 生徒が誤って音声を発声するよりも頻繁にd音声を発声しないと聞きましたが、双方向です。 Ouço os alunos não vocalizarem o som do d com mais frequência do que vocalizarem acidentalmente o som do t, mas isso acontece nos dois sentidos. Öğrencilerin d sesini yanlışlıkla sesli olarak seslendirmekten daha sık seslendirmediğini duydum, ancak bu her iki yönde de geçerli. Let’s practice some d sound / t sound minimal pairs. Vamos praticar alguns pares mínimos de som d / som t.

I want you to notice the placement of your tongue during the sound, the puff of air that comes out of your mouth when the tongue releases, and whether the sound is voiced or unvoiced. 音が出ているときの舌の配置、舌が離されたときに口から出る空気の吹き出し、声が有声か無声かに注意してください。 Quero que repares na posição da tua língua durante o som, no sopro de ar que sai da tua boca quando a língua se solta, e se o som é sonoro ou surdo. Ses sırasında dilinizin yerleşimine, dil serbest kaldığında ağzınızdan çıkan havanın üflemesine ve sesin sesli mi sessiz mi olduğuna dikkat etmenizi istiyorum. Ready? Preparado? Hazır?

Repeat after me if you want the most benefit of this podcast. このポッドキャストを最大限に活用したい場合は、私の後に繰り返します。 Repitam comigo se quiserem tirar o máximo partido deste podcast. dime, time dense, tense code, coat tide, tight spend, spent tempo, tempo denso, código tenso, maré de casaco, gasto apertado, gasto Very good. Muito bom.

Most people who have visited or lived in the United States have noticed that we sometimes do some strange things to represent the t sound . アメリカを訪問したり、アメリカに住んだりしたことがある人のほとんどは、tサウンドを表現するために時々奇妙なことをすることに気づきました。 A maioria das pessoas que visitaram ou viveram nos Estados Unidos já repararam que, por vezes, fazemos algumas coisas estranhas para representar o som t . Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'ni ziyaret etmiş veya orada yaşamış çoğu insan, bazen t sesini temsil etmek için bazı garip şeyler yaptığımızı fark etmiştir.

We don’t always say a t sound where we would see the letter t written. 私たちはいつもtの文字がどこに書いてあるかをよく言うわけではありません。 Nem sempre dizemos um som de t onde veríamos a letra t escrita. I promise I will come back to those strange issues in later podcasts. Prometo que voltarei a estas questões estranhas em podcasts posteriores. Söz veriyorum, daha sonraki podcast'lerde bu garip konulara geri döneceğim. It is actually rather complicated, but there are guidelines to help you. C'est en fait assez compliqué, mais il existe des lignes directrices pour vous aider. 実際にはかなり複雑ですが、役立つガイドラインがあります。 Na verdade, é bastante complicado, mas existem orientações para o ajudar. For now, just work on correctly saying the sounds. Pour l'instant, il suffit de travailler sur la prononciation correcte des sons. とりあえず、正しく音声を話すようにしてください。 Por agora, trabalhe apenas na pronúncia correcta dos sons. Şimdilik, sadece sesleri doğru şekilde söylemeye çalışın. Understanding voiced and unvoiced sounds is also a key component of understanding -ed endings. La compréhension des sons voisés et non voisés est également un élément clé de la compréhension des terminaisons en -ed. 有声音と無声音を理解することも、エンディングを理解する上で重要な要素です。 Compreender os sons vocálicos e não vocálicos é também uma componente fundamental da compreensão das terminações -ed. Sesli ve sessiz sesleri anlamak, -ed sonlarını anlamanın da önemli bir bileşenidir.

We pronounce the -ed differently based on the last sound of the original word. Nous prononçons le -ed différemment selon le dernier son du mot original. Pronunciamos o -ed de forma diferente consoante o último som da palavra original. -ed'i orijinal kelimenin son sesine göre farklı telaffuz ediyoruz. I promise I will also address that in an upcoming podcast. Prometo que também falarei sobre isso num próximo podcast. Gelecek bir podcast'te buna da değineceğime söz veriyorum. That’s all for the d sound and t sound today. Hoje é tudo para o som d e o som t. Bugünkü d sesi ve t sesi için hepsi bu kadar.

Don’t forget to also keep practicing the sentence from the th sounds podcast, "Think about this thing, that thing, and those things" in addition to our 5 miminal pairs from today. N'oubliez pas de continuer à pratiquer la phrase du podcast sur les sons, "Think about this thing, that thing, and those things", en plus des 5 paires mentales d'aujourd'hui. Não se esqueça de continuar a praticar também a frase do podcast th sounds, "Think about this thing, that thing, and those things", para além dos nossos 5 pares miminais de hoje. Bugünden itibaren 5 miminal çiftimize ek olarak th sesler podcast'indeki "Bu şeyi, şu şeyi ve şu şeyleri düşün" cümlesini uygulamaya devam etmeyi de unutmayın. Let’s repeat those one more time. Vamos repetir mais uma vez. Bunları bir kez daha tekrarlayalım. dime, time dense, tense code, coat tide, tight spend, spent tempo, tempo denso, código tenso, maré de casaco, gasto apertado, gasto kuruş, yoğun zaman, gergin kod, ceket gelgiti, sıkı harcama, harcanmış Nice job everyone, and thanks for listening. Bom trabalho para todos e obrigado por nos ouvirem. Herkese iyi iş çıkardınız ve dinlediğiniz için teşekkürler.
