Hi Rachel, I&#8217;m a <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent3\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Chinese student. Hi Rachel, I&#8217;m a Chinese student. I heard, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent4\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&#8216;am&#8217; instead of &#8216;I&#8217;m&#8217;. So you need to really make <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent5\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">those two separate sounds for the diphthong, in the &#8216;ai&#8217; <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent6\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">as in &#8216;buy&#8217; diphthong. Am, I&#8217;m. You see the jaw <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent7\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">drops more for that initial sound. And um, I&#8217;m learning <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent8\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">English now. Again, I heard, and um, am learning English <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent9\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">now. I&#8217;m. I&#8217;m learning English now. I&#8217;m a sophomore. Now <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent10\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">here he says, I&#8217;m a sophomore. And I do hear <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent11\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">the two sounds of the diphthong, ai, a little bit <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent12\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">better, but it&#8217;s a little too fast. I&#8217;m a, I&#8217;m <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent13\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">a is what I heard. I&#8217;m. I&#8217;m a sophomore. In, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent14\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">uh, Normal University. I&#8217;m not quite sure here what the <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent15\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">name of the university was. I don&#8217;t really know 100% <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent16\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">if it was an English word or Chinese. It did <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent17\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">sound like the English word Normal, um, but I didn&#8217;t <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent18\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">hear a dark L, heard a bit of an R <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent19\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">sound [\u0279] at the end, which is a common mistake <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent20\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">for people whose native language is Chinese. So make sure <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent21\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">that that ends in the dark L if it is, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent22\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">in fact, the word Normal. U-l, u-l, Normal University.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">That <span id=\"STtranscriptContent23\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">means, I&#8217;m going to be an English teacher two years <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent24\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">later. Good. Um, the word &#8216;that&#8217;. I heard a shadow <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent25\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">vowel after the word &#8216;that&#8217; before the word means. That-uh <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent26\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">means, that-uh means. There shouldn&#8217;t be any kind of vowel <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent27\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">sound between those two words. That: the tongue moves up <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent28\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">here, into position for the T or D sound: that. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent29\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Tt. Instead of pulling down and letting air escape to <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent30\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">make that tt sound, the sound simply stops within that <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent31\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">tongue movement. That means. And then you bring the lips <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent32\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">into the position for the M and continue the sound. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent33\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">That means, that means. That means, I&#8217;m going to be <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent34\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">an English teacher two years later. The rest of that <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent35\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">sounded good. A note about the phrase &#8216;two years later&#8217;. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent36\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">That refers to something that happened in the past, two <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent37\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">years after something else that happened in the past. But, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent38\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">since we&#8217;re talking about the present and the future, we <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent39\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">say &#8216;in two years&#8217;. That means, I&#8217;ll be a teacher <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent40\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">in two years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">This time I&#8217;ll record a small passage, <span id=\"STtranscriptContent41\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">and I want you, and I wonder if you can <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent42\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">help me, to give me some suggestions on my pronunciation <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent43\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">or intonation. Ok. In general, really your accent is pretty <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent44\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">great, but, I do want to point out everything. Um, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent45\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">so I will say on the word &#8216;to&#8217;. You said <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent46\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">it a few times in this phrase. It sounded like <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent47\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">a mixed vowel between an &#8216;oo&#8217; [u] and an &#8216;ee&#8217; <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent48\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">[i]. It needs to be just a pure oo. To, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent49\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">oo. So, for that the tongue needs to be more<\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent50\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">relaxed than how you are holding it, I think, when <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent51\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">you say the word &#8216;to&#8217;. It is a little bit <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent52\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">harder for me to diagnose since I can&#8217;t see your <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent53\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">mouth, just based on what I can hear with the <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent54\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">ear I&#8217;m saying in that oo vowel, for the word <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent55\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">to, your tongue needs to be more relaxed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The word <span id=\"STtranscriptContent56\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">suggestions: give me some suggestions. I hear suchestions. Um, suchestions <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent57\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">with a ch CH sound [\u02a7]. Um, what I need <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent58\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">to hear is a little bit more of a gg <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent59\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">with a jj. &#8216;Gg&#8217; as in &#8216;gap&#8217; [g] with a <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent60\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&#8216;jj&#8217; as in &#8216;jar&#8217; [\u02a4]. Suggestions. Now, the gg sound <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent61\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">isn&#8217;t terribly strong, but there is a closing in the <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent62\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">throat: sug-, my throat is closing there &#8211; suggestions &#8211; <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent63\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">before the &#8216;jj&#8217; as in &#8216;jar&#8217; sound. Suggestions, suggestions. &#8230;give <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent64\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">me some suggestions on my pronunciation or intonation. You say <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent65\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">suggestions, and then the next word, I&#8217;m not sure if <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent66\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">it&#8217;s on or of. But, it would be on. Suggestions <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent67\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">on my pronunciation. Also, the word pronunciation, pronunciation or, I <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent68\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">hear pronucation. Pronun-ci. I need to hear that extra ee <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent69\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">vowel. Pronunciation. Then you can help me improve a lot. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent70\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Thank you so much. Excellent. The one thing I would <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent71\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">say there, um, and this might be an issue of <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent72\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">the audio device and not actually you, is the &#8216;vv&#8217;:<\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent73\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">improve, vv, vv, I could hear a little bit more <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent74\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">that voiced V sound: vv.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">And I&#8217;m going to read <span id=\"STtranscriptContent75\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">it &#8211; a small passage. On the word &#8216;read&#8217;, I <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent76\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">hear a sound more like ruh, ruh, where the corners <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent77\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">of the mouth aren&#8217;t coming out enough, ee, ee, to <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent78\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">free up that sound to make the &#8216;ee&#8217; as in <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent79\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&#8216;she&#8217; vowel.
