This is the Sounds American channel. • In this video, we're going to talk about the American consonant sound /p/, as in the word pie. You can also hear this sound in words like play, cup, paper or supper. • We’ll be using a special phonetic symbol - /p/ - for this sound. • The /p/ is one of six sounds in the stop consonants category. • The stop sounds may seem easy to pronounce. But they're more difficult if you try to pronounce them with an American accent. • Why? Let's find out. • We'll start with reviewing what we learned in the Stops Sounds Overview video. • The /p/ is made by stopping the air with your lips. • The /p/ is a voiceless sound. It has a voiced counterpart, the consonant sound /b/. • Like with all stop consonants, aspiration is important when you pronounce the /p/ sound. • The /p/ is made with a strong puff of air at the beginning of words and stressed syllables. • At the end of words and syllables, the /p/ follows the final stop rule and is not aspirated. • There's one more thing. The /p/ sound is also unaspirated after the /s/ consonant. • Check out these examples: • • peak, repeat, paper • • keep, tape, update • • speak, spring, spoil' • Now let's take a closer look at how to pronounce this sound. • First, press your lips together to stop the air in your mouth. • Next, part your lips and release the air with a strong puff. • If you make this sound correctly, you'll hear a burst of air. • Now, let’s try saying it: /p/, /p/, /p/. • [Pronunciation Exercise 1] • Now, let’s practice. We'll start with the /p/ at the beginning of words. • Remember that the /p/ in this position is aspirated, so make sure you pronounce it with a strong puff of air. • You already know how the practice works, but just in case, we'll say it again :). • You’ll see a word on the screen and hear its pronunciation. Like this. • You’ll have a few seconds to pronounce the word. Try to practice as many words as possible, this is the most important part of the whole lesson. • Let’s begin! • • pack • • pad • • page • • paint • • park • • part • • paw • • peace • • pet • • place • • plan • • please • • plus • • point • • port • • post • • prepare • • present • • puff • • put • [Pronunciation Exercise 2] • Let’s pause here for a second and review the final stop rule: stop sounds at the end of words are made without a puff of air. This is what we'll practice with the next group of words. • Let's continue practicing. • • cap • • cheap • • chip • • chop • • clap • • drip • • drop • • flap • • group • • gulp • • help • • jump • • keep • • map • • shape • • sharp • • shop • • sleep • • step • • swipe • [Pronunciation Exercise 3] • Awesome! Now let's practice pronouncing words with the /p/ sound following the /s/ sound. Remember to make the /p/ without a puff of air. • Here you go. • • speak • • spear • • speech • • spell • • spend • • spent • • spider • • spill • • spin • • spit • • spite • • spoil • • spoke • • spree • • spy • You're done! Congratulations! • Now that you know how to make the /p/ stop sound, all you need is to practice regularly.
