Linking j Sound in English | English Pronunciation Lesson - Duration: 7:08.
Hello and welcome back to another English lesson with me, Greg, from OLA
English with Greg! Now one of my most popular videos that I've ever done was a
video, which you can watch up there – I will put a link to the end of the video
to – about connected speech. Now, connected speech is a technique that native
speakers use to help connect words together to make it easier for us to
speak. The problem is that when native speakers use these techniques it
sometimes makes it a bit more difficult for foreigners to understand what we're
saying. For this reason, it is super important that you learn how to use
connected speech in English. Another reason is that if you use these
techniques, your English is going to sound a lot
more like a native speaker, alright, your pronunciation is going to
be so, so good! So, if improving your pronunciation and sounding more fluent
and more like a native speaker is what you want then you are gonna love this video!
If you are new here and you want to take your level of spoken English to the next
level then please click subscribe and click the bell notification so that you
get notified of all my new lessons! As I said before, I did a really popular video
on the linking R sound. What we're going to be focusing on today is the
linking /j/ sound. OK, let me explain this like a good Englishman. I am English,
so I always have a cup of tea in the morning. I always have a cup of
tea in the morning. I always... I always... Do you hear that? Do you hear an imaginary
/j/ sound between the word I and the word always. We don't say I always, I
always. We don't do this because if we speak like this we're going to sound
like a robot when we separate every word and that's not what we want. So instead
of saying I always I always... we say I always... /j/.... that's the sound
that we put between these two words. I always.. it's not a strong /j/ it's
not like yes.. it's not 'I always...I always'. No, it's a soft /j/ sound, very
soft. I always. Your mouth probably
automatically does this anyway when you go from the I sound to the 'or' sound... I
always. OK, so now you need to know when we use this linking /j/ sound and we
basically do it when one word ends in one of these sounds. /ai/ for example buy. /i:/
for example tea. /ei/ for example today. And /oi/ for example boy. Buy tea today, boy!! So we
use it when one word ends in one of these sounds and the next word begins
with a vowel, any vowel, it doesn't matter! OK,
so this is why we say I always we also say I ate Peter last night, I own a
camera. Using the second example with the /i:/ sound we can say he... he always... he
always... he always says that, he always, he always has his English classes on
Tuesdays. Using the /ei/ sound we can say day after day after day.
I generally publish YouTube videos on Monday and Thursdays. Monday and
Thursdays. Monday and, Monday and, Monday and Thursdays. And using the /oi/ sound we
have a boy and girl, boy and girl, boy and.. not boy and... but boy and girl. There's a
toy on the floor... there's a toy on the floor... toy on... toy on... there's a toy on
the floor. OK, this can also help us when we're pronouncing the word 'the'. There are
two pronunciations for the word 'the'. One is the... using the schwa sound at the end.
The. For example, the pen, the table, the ceiling, the floor. But if the next word
begins with a vowel sound then the word 'the' changes to "the" and because "the" ends in
the sound /i:/ we have to use the linking /j/ between "the" and the next word if it begins
with a vowel. For example, the animal, the animal, the
elephant, the elephant, the igloo, the igloo, the owl, the owl, The Owl and the
Pussycat, The Owl and the Pussycat (famous poem!) and finally the umbrella,
don't forget the umbrella, don't forget the umbrella.
OK, connected speech really is a fantastic topic to get into and to study
a bit if you want to really take your English pronunciation and fluency to the
next level. As I said before, I did a previous video on the linking R sound
and the intrusive R sound so if you watch that video and combine it with
this video on the linking /j/ sound you have three fantastic ways to take your
fluency to a native level. Enjoy the next lesson! I'll see you there!
And bye for now!
