    No. For example, the word ‘though’ is not pronounced as if it were an f sound, yet ‘cough’ is.

Tuesday, April 12th 2011Reply to this comment

Which two verbs have different -ed endings?

bugged, enjoyed
laughed, kissed
killed, wrapped
waited, wanted

Why the answer is killed and wrapped in this questions? I dun really get it, can you further explain it to me?

Tuesday, April 12th 2011Reply to this comment

    When the letter before the -ed ending is ‘p’, the sound of the -ed will be like a ‘t’.
    When the letter before the -ed is ‘l’, the sound is like a -d sound. Try to look for more examples to help you.

Friday, May 27th 2011Reply to this comment

Thanks it’s a very nice presentation!now I can pronounce and differentiate what regular verbs endings in /t/”unvoiced”,/d/ “voiced”, and /d/,/t/ two syllables…!

Friday, May 27th 2011Reply to this comment

it´s complicated to learn a foreign language
but i think that i write better than i speak,mainly because when you´re just starting to learn another language you have your own way of speaking,your own accent,and it´s very hard for those who are native in this language understand what you´re talking about
but practice makes perfection!

Friday, May 27th 2011Reply to this comment

    That is true. Having lived in other countries I know how difficult it is to learn another language. Good luck!

Thursday, February 16th 2012Reply to this comment

Thank Jon very much! Your lesson is very useful.

But could you make videos that teach pronunciation both words and sentences? Because I can read exactly a word, but when I put it in sentences and conversation, it goes wrong.

Saturday, February 18th 2012Reply to this comment

You are the best teacher.This lesson is very easy to learn.Can you give me how to
pronunce l sound at the end of a word such as will, hill or heel.It is really difficult for me.

Monday, March 26th 2012Reply to this comment

it’s really a helpful lesson. But in the lesson,you seem to pronounce “D” and “T” at the end of word with the same sound. It do confuse me. Anyhow, Thank you for good lesson, JOn.

Oh, by the way, I just noticed you don’t really need to pronounce the “E” sound?It sounds like:fixd,lovd,livd,kisst,stoppt,etc…is that right?

Sunday, August 26th 2012Reply to this comment

It’s silly when g-h makes a /f/ sound. “F” is the laziest letter in the alphabet that it’s not in the words “laugh” or “alphabet.”
