In this American English pronunciation video, we're going to go over the pronunciation of

the word 'family'.

This week's Word of the Week is 'family'. 'Family' may be pronounced with three syllables,

but more commonly you'll hear it with two. Family, family. it begins with the F consonant

sound, so the bottom lip will come up and touch the bottom of the top front teeth. Ff,

ff, fa-. Then we have the AA as in BAT vowel. It's followed by the M consonant, and whenever

the AA vowel is followed by an M consonant, actually by any nasal consonant, it's not

quite a pure AA vowel. The back part of the tongue will relax, and we'll get an uh-like

sound. Fa-, fa-, fam-, family. The second syllable, unstressed, has the L consonant

sound, ll, ll, tongue tip here, and the EE as in SHE vowel. So, the tongue tip will come

down, the corners of the lips will pull wide a bit, -ly, -ly. Family, family. I have family

in town.

That's it, your Word of the Week. Try it out yourself. Make up a sentence with the

word, record it, and post it as a video response to this video on YouTube. I can't wait to

watch it.

That's it, and thanks so much for using Rachel's English.

在这个美式英语发音视频中， 我们将复习

“family”这个词的发音。

本周的本周词汇是“家庭”。 “家庭”可能用三个音节发音，

但更常见的是用两个音节发音。 家人，家人。 它以 F 辅音开始

，所以下唇会向上 接触上前牙的底部。 法，

法，法-。 然后我们有BAT元音中的AA。 它后面是 M 辅音，

只要 AA 元音后面跟着 M 辅音， 实际上是任何鼻辅音，它

都不是纯 AA 元音。 舌头的后部会放松，我们会听到类似呃的

声音。 Fa-，fa-，fam-，家庭。 第二个 音节，不重读，有 L

辅音，ll, ll，这里是舌尖，和 SHE 元音中的 EE。 所以，舌尖会

下垂，唇角会拉开 一点，-ly，-ly。 家人，家人。 我

在城里有家人。

就是这样，你的本周词汇。 自己尝试一下。 用这个词组成一个句子

，记录下来，并将其作为视频回复发布 到 YouTube 上。 我等不及

要看了。
