Monday- April 23, 2007 Class Summary

1. When pronouncing with the, try to blend the last th sound of with and the first sound of the. So the sound will be more natural. If you do this, your sound should be more like, [witha].

2. In contrast to the point above, try to minimalize the sound of t in the last sound of repeat for repeat the. So, your sound should be like, [rIpi:the].

3. In Ronald McDonald's, both of the o's here are back vowels not front vowels. They are like cot, lot,not,and dot. Not like low, know, or sow.

4. When pronouncing words ending in v, just release the sound without pronouncing a final e. Most Koreans would say [havu] for the word have.

5. Practice the sound r.

6. three: The th is voiceless and the final ee is pronounced long.
