In this video, we'll delve into the intricacies of English phonology, specifically focusing on the different places of articulation. We'll explore how and where speech sounds are formed, from the front of the mouth to the back, including labials, alveolars, palatals, velars, and more. It's a fascinating linguistic journey that's essential for understanding the nuances of English pronunciation. I'm here to make this topic easily digestible. You don't need a degree in phonetics to follow along. I'll be your guide, breaking down the concepts step by step.
By the end of this session, you'll have a solid grasp of how our articulators work together to produce distinct sounds in English. Thank you for joining me in this educational endeavour. Let's dive into the intriguing world of articulatory phonology.

Thank you for the lesson. I feel like I am getting major breakthrough in understanding why I can't get the same quality in sounds as native speaker when I am trying to speak.

[rajeshkumarray]

I heartly solute you from 🇮🇳.
Nice explanations about articulation

[candelapicasso]

This is great! It really helped me understand better. The only thing is that you mixed the velum with the uvula! The velum is actually another way to call the soft palate!!

Thanks for the video, your explanations are so helpful, I understand everything much better because of them🤗
The only thing we learned different at class was that we further distinguished between post alveolar and palato aveolar. Could someone maybe explain that difference to me? Thanks in advance.

The post alveolar sound is just the R and here is made by upturning the tip of the tongue behind the alveolar ridge and the other sounds that u have mentioned with it are palato alveolar sounds the blade of the tongue is used just behind the alveolar ridge
