  14. First mini lesson we're going to focus on ed endings.2:06
  15. I like to teach through stories so I'm going to tell you about a trip I took to Bangkok last year.2:11
  16. Listen and shadow me to practice if you like doing that.2:18

  22. We laughed out loud when Diego jumped in my suitcase too adding to the chaos.2:49
  23. I continued getting ready and then we carried our cases downstairs ready for the morning.2:56
  24. If you were shadowing with me there feel free to replay and try again.3:03
  25. Let's take a closer look at those ed endings.3:06
  26. One of the most common pronunciation mistakes I hear is when students try to pronounce the e at the end of the word and end up saying asked or travel3:09
  27. ed.3:19
  28. They should be asked travelled.3:20
  29. We only add on an extra syllable when the infinitive of the word ends in a t or d.3:22
  30. So words which end in the letters d, dd, de, t, tt or te add an extra syllable with the sound id.3:30
  31. Here are the examples from the text.3:42
  32. Visit, want and delight all end in the consonant sound t.3:44
  33. Notice how the letters ed add that extra syllable.3:50
  34. Visit has two syllables.3:54
  35. Visited has three.3:56
  36. Want has just one syllable in the present but two in the past.3:58
  37. Wanted, delight similarly becomes delighted.4:02
  38. Verbs ending in de behave in the same way.4:07
  39. Need, needed.4:10
  40. But and this is a big but and we like big buts and we cannot lie.4:12
  41. Most ed endings aren't pronounced this way.4:17
  42. In most ed words the e is silent and the letter d is pronounced with a t or d sound.4:20
  43. How do you know which?4:28
  44. Well it depends on whether the word ends in a voiced or an unvoiced sound.4:29
  45. If it's easier to think about it in this way it's like the letters ed are just represented by either t or de.4:34
  46. One of the easiest ways to find out if a sound is voiced or unvoiced is to place your fingers on your throat and check for any vibration when you4:42
  47. say it.4:52
  48. If you can feel a vibration the sound is voiced.4:52
  49. If there's no vibration it's unvoiced.4:55
  50. Let's give it a go.4:58
  51. I can feel the vibration with de but nothing for t.5:03
  52. What about vowel sounds?5:07
  53. All vowel sounds are voiced.5:09
  54. Let's put the rest of the ed words from my story on screen.5:12
  55. In most British English accents the word occur ends in a vowel sound.5:15
  56. Uh occur.5:22
  57. The letter r isn't pronounced.5:23
  58. We match voiced with voiced so we add the voiced consonant d to the end and occur becomes occurred.5:26
  59. Ask ends in the unvoiced consonant k.5:34
  60. We match unvoiced with unvoiced so we add the unvoiced t.5:39
  61. Asked.5:45
  62. That's quite a hard consonant cluster there.5:46
  63. Asked.5:49
  64. In fast spoken English we often get rid of the k sound and say asked.5:50
  65. I asked him a question.5:56
  66. Remember we don't pronounce the letter e we don't add an extra syllable.5:58
  67. Let's practice blending those sounds together.6:02
  68. Repeat after me to practice.6:04
  69. Occur occurred.6:07
  70. Carry carried.6:11
  71. Some unvoiced ones.6:15
  72. Let's try and pronounce all of the consonants together.6:16
  73. Ask asked.6:20
  74. Watch watched.6:24
  75. Pack packed.6:28
  76. Laugh laughed.6:33
  77. And jump jumped.6:37
  78. Okay first mini lesson done.6:41
  79. Let's move on to words ending in s or es.6:43
  80. We add s es or apostrophe s to a noun to form the plural or possessive or to a verb to form the third person singular in the present simple.6:47
  81. As you listen to the next part of the story try and notice the different ways I pronounce the s at the end of the words in bold.6:59

  91. You might not know this about me but growing up I was unable to properly make the s sound.7:52

  102. I've included the typical spelling patterns for each sound and more examples in the PDF.8:47
  103. The links in the description box.8:54
  104. I think you'll find that very useful.8:56
  105. Spice ends in s.8:58
  106. So in the plural form we add an extra syllable.9:00
  107. Spice spices.9:04
  108. Then we have noise noises and dish dishes.9:07
  109. Remember these rules also apply to the third person singular form of the verb.9:12
  110. So the base form wish becomes he wishes.9:18

  112. For example watch watches and charge charges.9:27
  113. Very few words end with z but there are some like massage massages.9:32
  114. Okay so that covers when we add is but how do we choose between the remaining two sounds or z.9:39
  115. Well it's the same rule that we saw with the ed endings.9:46
  116. We match voiced with voiced and unvoiced with unvoiced.9:50
  117. Here are the words from my story which end with voiced sounds so need to be matched with z.9:54

  122. Ready?10:16
  123. Hundreds ourselves Clothes Styles Days And rows.10:18
  124. The remaining unvoiced consonant sounds Ptk F And F Add S What about connected speech for both the s and es endings and ed endings.10:33
  125. When we add ss, z, t and d to the end of a word we often end up with many consonant sounds together.10:47
  126. These consonant clusters can be really tricky to pronounce clearly.10:56
  127. Let me give you a couple of tips which are pretty much guaranteed to help you articulate these sounds like a pro.10:59
  128. Tip number one when the word after ss, z, t or d begins with a vowel sound try to attach the consonant sound to the vowel sound.11:07
  129. For example instead of saying we laughed out loud break up the consonant cluster by saying we laughed out loud.11:17
  130. Here are some more examples from my stories.11:26
  131. Listen and repeat.11:29
  132. Will watched in horror.11:30
  133. Diego jumped in my suitcase.11:35
  134. Going for walks along.11:40
  135. Immersing ourselves in.11:46
  136. Tip number two when the word is followed by the same consonant sound join the two consonant sounds together.11:49
  137. Repeat after me.11:56
  138. They watch television.11:57
  139. We enjoyed dancing.12:00
  140. He walked slowly.12:05
  141. And now time for our final mini lesson.12:07
  142. Once you manage to articulate this next sound correctly your pronunciation is going to be so much clearer.12:10
  143. For the final story focus your attention on the highlighted word endings.12:17
  144. Again this is another opportunity for shadowing.12:22
  145. When we got back home friends and family quizzed us about our trip.12:25
  146. Was the hotel in a nice location?12:30
  147. Was the weather pleasant?12:33

  150. It was incredible.12:42
  151. Learning about the culture was important too.12:44
  152. But there were so many special moments.12:48
  153. I don't think I could pick just one.12:51
  154. Okay in bold we can see some common suffixes.12:53
  155. A suffix is a letter or letters that we add to the end of a word to make a new word.12:58
  156. All of these suffixes have something in common.13:05
  157. They contain the schwa.13:09
  158. That's the sound at the beginning of the word about and at the end of the word computer.13:11
  159. We make this schwa sound by relaxing the mouth and the tongue.13:17
  160. My jaw opens a little but it's not wide.13:21
  161. Uh.13:23
  162. Uh.13:25
  163. It's the most common sound in English and it never appears in stressed syllables.13:26
  164. Why is this sound so important for suffixes?13:32
  165. Well most suffixes in English are not stressed.13:35
  166. Let's take this word from the story as an example.13:39
  167. Memorable.13:42
  168. Memorable.13:43
  169. The main stress is on the first syllable.13:45
  170. Mem.13:47
  171. The suffix isn't stressed and the letter a is pronounced as a schwa.13:48
  172. One of the biggest pronunciation errors I hear learners make is when they try to pronounce full strong vowels in unstressed suffixes.13:53
  173. Knowing that many suffixes are pronounced with the schwa can massively improve the accuracy of your pronunciation.14:02
  174. It's not always the case but it will help.14:08
  175. Let's take a look at some more examples from the story.14:10
  176. I'll pronounce the suffix and then one of the example words.14:13

  178. Us.14:18
  179. Delicious.14:20
  180. Uble.14:22

  183. Incredible.14:28
  184. Oh.14:30
  185. Special.14:32
  186. Aunt.14:34
