How To Pronounce Any Country in English Pronunciation Lesson

Hello, I’m Emma from mmmEnglish!

In this video, I’m going to go over the English

pronunciation of country names.

Now many of you have been asking for a video like this

because the way that native English speakers

say your country names,

can be quite different to the way that you do.

And this can be a real challenge for communication.

When you’re listening to a native speaker,

or when you’re speaking yourself,

to make sure that you’re understood.

What’s interesting with country names though,

is that on the one hand, there’s the pronunciation

of the country name as it’s pronounced

by the native population - by the people who live there.

Right? It’s their native language!

Now often, English takes that pronunciation

and changes it or adapts it a little to make it easier

for native English speakers.

So on the other hand,

sometimes it sounds completely different!

And it might also sound slightly different depending on

which native English speaker you’re speaking to.

So an Australian

might pronounce the same country name

slightly different to a Canadian or a British person.

Some native English people might pronounce this name

or they might say

So it depends on their accent.

This lesson will show you how to pronounce

all the different

country names or the hundred and ninety-three

that have been recognised by the United Nations.

And you’ll also hear the pronunciation from me,

which will help you to improve your listening skills.

So I’ll go through the names in alphabetical order

so if you’re curious about a particular country,

then you can just skip forward in the video.

Now for my students,

I know that this video is going to be long,

but I think you should stay with me

and practise the whole time, out loud.

It’s going to be a huge

English gym workout for your mouth.

I guarantee that we’ll cover every single English sound

in this lesson.

Plus it’s a really fantastic opportunity to revise

the international phonetic alphabet symbols, the IPA.

Okay? Revise those sounds and what they look like.

Alright, are you ready? Let’s do this!

Now notice the little line there under the vowel.

This is the stressed syllable in this word

and I’m going to use this line

all the way through this lesson to show you

which syllable has the main stress

in English pronunciation,

which vowel is the strongest vowel.

You’ll also see it shown

in the phonemic script here as well.

Now if you’re wondering what these crazy symbols are

that I’ve put over here,

then make sure you check out this lesson

if you’re curious to find out, you want to learn

more about the international phonetic alphabet

to help you improve your pronunciation,

check it out there.

Notice that the stressed syllable is the /eɪ/

as in ‘day’ vowel sound.

It’s the same stress pattern as ‘Albania’.

It’s the /dʒ/ consonant sound.

So that stressed syllable is /ɔː/

as in ‘door’.

Again, it’s that same stress pattern.

The stress is on the second syllable

but notice as well that the consonant sound /ŋ/

is there instead of

I’m a little nervous about this one because

I’m not very good at saying it in English

but let’s break it down together.

The second syllable is the stressed syllable

in the first word, it’s the long

sound.

And the last two vowel letters are actually unstressed,

they make just one sound, the schwa.

The ‘and’ is reduced to

So there are two long vowel sounds here.

and

but it’s the second one that’s stressed

so it’s pronounced a little more strong, a little clearer.

And finally, the last syllable is an unstressed syllable.

So the stress is on the third syllable this time.

So Argentinians and Spanish speakers,

notice that in English, we use the /dʒ/ consonant sound

not the /h/ sound.

Of course, you don’t need to change your pronunciation

to be understood but to reduce your accent,

you would try to pronounce the /dʒ/ sound.

Can you hear the stressed syllable there?

So the main stress is on the second syllable.

That’s the /eɪ/ as in ‘day’ vowel sound.

I come from Australia!

And since this is my home country,

I’ll give you a couple of extra tips.

Many Australians are pretty lazy with their pronunciation

and with their syllable stress.

So you’ll probably just hear

So the final

is reduced down to

And sometimes,

even the first syllable gets completely dropped.

So instead of

it’s

So that’s just a bit of insider knowledge for you!

Now very similar, is

But you’ll hear that the stress pattern is different, okay?

The stress pattern

puts the stress on the first syllable.

Okay, the first syllable is stressed.

So the stressed syllable here is actually the last one.

Now I always thought it was

the /ʒ/ as in ‘vision’ not /dʒ/ as in ‘jam’

But there you have it! I was pronouncing it wrong!

Whoop! We’re already up to B!

Usually said, ‘The Bahamas’.

So the stress is on the second syllable there.

Now, the long vowel sound is actually in the first syllable

but the second syllable is the one that’s stressed.

Now I know I’ve got a lot of students

watching in Bangladesh,

so hello to all of you in Bangladesh!

The main stress here in English is on the final syllable.

But notice that the first syllable also has a stress as well

That middle syllable reduces down to the schwa.

So there’s a long vowel sound in the first syllable

but the stress is on the second syllable.

And notice that the two A’s

are actually pronounced differently.

So starting with

we have

The middle syllable is unstressed and it reduces

to become the schwa sound.

So the main stress is on the final syllable.

The stress is on the first syllable.

is the strongest sound.

And the ‘I’ and the ‘U’ create the unstressed

vowel sound, the schwa in the second syllable.

So hear how that stressed vowel sound is a long

vowel sound in the second syllable.

And we’re finishing with that

consonant sound.

Again, hear that long vowel sound in the second syllable

It’s unusual for the letter ‘I’ to be pronounced like that

but here we have it.

So again, there’s a long vowel sound in the first syllable.

But the second syllable is the stressed one.

The first syllable is unstressed.

It’s very low in pitch.

The stress is on the second syllable.

is the strong syllable there.

Two syllables are easy!

What about five?

So

Hear the /t/ sound that’s added there?

That’s the stressed syllable.

It’s quite a mouthful!

So the stress here is on the second syllable.

So it’s a little tricky

thanks to all of those consonant sounds there.

I also know I’ve got a lot of

students watching from Brazil too so hello to all of you!

In English, we really hit the final

/l/ consonant sound there in ‘Brazil’.

So the unstressed schwa sound is heard in the

first syllable.

But the stressed sound is on the second syllable.

So the first syllable has a longer sound

but it’s the second syllable that’s stressed.

It’s an unstressed syllable.

The second syllable there is the stressed syllable.

The stress there is on the second syllable.

So we hear the /ʊ/ as in ‘book’ vowel sound there.

You hear it twice, actually.

The second syllable is the stressed syllable though.

The stress is on the second syllable there.

It’s the /əʊ/ in ‘go’ vowel sound.

So the stress there is on the final syllable,

it’s the long vowel sound.

The stress is on the first syllable and see

how the second one’s reduced to the schwa sound,

the unstressed sound.

It’s probably one of the easiest country names

to pronounce and the people in Canada are also lovely.

They are the nicest, most polite people

that I’ve ever come across.

So, easy to say their name, very kind people.

Probably worth a visit!

So the final ‘E’ on ‘Verde’ here is

silent when spoken in English.

And there’s that plural ‘Islands’ again.

It comes up all the time

when you’re talking about countries, doesn’t it?

Comes up very frequently.

It’s the /aɪ/ as in ‘my’ or ‘sky’ vowel sound.

And it’s followed by the unstressed

vowel sound, the schwa.

And notice that the plural ‘S’ is actually pronounced

as a voiced /z/ sound.

Three words.

The first syllable there is stressed.

The first syllable again, the second to reduce.

So can you hear that in ‘Republic’

it’s the second syllable that’s stressed?

The first syllable reduces right down,

it becomes the schwa.

We’re moving on to the ‘ch’ consonant sound here.

So bring the corners of your mouth in a little

and flare your lips to make this sound.

Now, most English speakers will say ‘Chile’ rather than

though those who have actually visited Chile

are probably likely to pronounce it

bit more like the locals.

Again, we have the ‘ch’ consonant sound.

The consonant sound is followed by the

/aɪ/ vowel sound,

/aɪ/ as in ‘my’.

And then we have the final unstressed syllable.

Unstressed.

Or

Native English speakers will say both.

But the stress is on the second syllable.

So the stress here is on the first syllable.

Again, we learnt this one before.

And it’s followed by two unstressed words.

They reduce down.

So the stress there is on the first syllable.

Now, right next door to the Republic of the Congo

is the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

So that stress there, can you hear it?

So, both unstressed syllables are schwa sounds there.

So again, we have the /aɪ/ as in ‘my’ vowel sound here.

So we have a short syllable following.

So this is the /əʊ/ as in ‘go’ vowel sound.

Again, the /əʊ/ as in ‘go’ vowel sound.

So the middle syllable is the stressed one here.

And again, the /eɪ/ as in ‘day’ vowel sound.

The ‘-tia’ here is actually pronounced as

So remember,

this is the English pronunciation of this word.

So it’s not

but

Notice the /j/ sound that’s included.

It’s the consonant letter ‘Y’ that creates

the stressed vowel sound here.

The second syllable is shorter and lower in pitch.

This one’s tricky for native English speakers too.

The first word,

sounds exactly like that word.

So we went over ‘Republic’ a few countries ago.

And the stressed syllable there is the second syllable.

And it’s often used with the article, ‘the’.

So there’s quite a few words here,

but let’s focus on the stress.

So we have the unstressed form of ‘of’

It’s low in pitch.

It kind of links to the end of ‘Republic’.

So the middle syllable is stressed there.

The other two reduce to the schwa sound.

Also known as North Korea.

So that’s the

vowel sound

followed by the unvoiced ‘-th’ consonant sound.

Push that air out through your mouth.

The first syllable is stressed, it’s the strongest.

That’s the /dʒ/ as in ‘jam’ consonant sound.

And the /uː/ as in ‘food’ vowel sound.

Now be careful here,

the stress is actually on the third syllable.

It’s the long

vowel sound, as in ‘she’.

So the other syllables reduce down.

So there’s a little stress change there between the two

that are very similar. It’s not

But

There’s a stress change, now we’re stressing

the second syllable

and the others become short and fast.

So that’s the long

vowel sound in ‘east’.

So the stress is on the first syllable.

But note that there’s a linking between these two words

that happens when English is spoken

because ‘East’ ends in the same consonant sound

that ‘Timor’ starts with.

We can push those words together

and we only pronounce the

sound once.

So can you hear that stress? It’s on the first syllable.

So that last syllable is the /ɔː/ as in ‘door’ vowel sound.

So there’s the long

vowel sound followed by the /dʒ/ consonant sound.

Now don’t forget the last consonant sound, the /t/

So listen out for the final two consonants,

they are both there - though the

reduces a little and it’s without the air pushing.

So in English, we hear that /v/ consonant sound clearly.

Make sure that your teeth are touching your bottom lip

to make that sound.

Where is the stress there?

It’s the third syllable.

Now don’t worry about all of the vowel letters

in the second word, it’s simply pronounced

So the third syllable is the stressed one.

The others reduce down.

So that stressed syllable there is the second one.

The /əʊ/ vowel sound as in ‘go’.

So the third syllable there is actually the strongest.

We have

It’s the long

vowel sound.

So the consonant sound /dʒ/

The first syllable is stressed

and the second syllable is unstressed

so that vowel sound reduces down.

Notice that it is an

unvoiced /s/ consonant sound at the end there.

The second syllable there is the stressed one.

The first one reduces to the schwa.

So we have the unstressed ‘the’

So that first syllable there is the strongest one.

So starting with the /dʒ/ consonant sound,

/dʒ/ as in ‘jam’

then the /ɔː/

vowel sound.

Then we have the second syllable

which includes the unstressed schwa sound.

Same consonant sound again.

So we have the same vowel sound

and the first syllable is the stressed syllable.

That’s the /ɜː/ as in ‘her’ vowel sound.

The two second syllables are reduced and unstressed.

The first syllable is stressed,

the second one unstressed.

Oh my gosh, we’re up to ‘Greece’.

If you haven’t been to Greece, you have to go!

It is one of the most beautiful places that I’ve ever been.

And the food!

I’m just dreaming of a European summer right now,

it’s cold here in Australia!

So we have one long sound of the vowel sound here

because there is just one syllable.

The final

consonant sound.

Watch that middle syllable there, the stressed one.

The sound is the /eɪ/ vowel sound like in ‘day’.

Not

So we’ve got four syllables here

and the third one is stressed.

Now we’ve already talked about Guinea with

Equatorial Guinea,

so remember that you don’t need to worry about

all of the vowel letters here, okay?

It’s just pronounced

Ah and here we have it again,

so the stress is on the last syllable in the second word.

It’s the /aʊ/ as in ‘now’ vowel sound.

The stress here is on the second syllable.

But the first syllable also includes

a stronger vowel sound.

So here the ‘ai’ is pronounced /eɪ/

in the same way as ‘day’. It’s the same vowel sound.

So the stress there is on the second syllable

• also the most trickiest.

Notice the extra little syllable there,

so it sounds different from the adjective ‘hungry’

So that’s the first syllable that’s stressed.

/aɪ/ as in ‘buy’ or ‘my’

The next syllable is unstressed.

You hear the schwa sound.

The stress there is on the first syllable.

I know I’ve got a lot of students watching in India as well

so I’m really pleased to say hello to all of you!

So here, we’ve got the third syllable stressed.

So that’s the /ʒ/ consonant sound like in ‘vision’

Now, Indonesians will probably pronounce that as

So that /s/ consonant sound is different to

Indonesia is

also a beautiful country to visit for a holiday.

Or, some native speakers will say

So the second syllable is where the stress is

and the vowel sound might be slightly different.

Same for

and

I say

So, this is a little tricky, it’s pronounced

slightly different to ‘island’.

There’s an extra schwa sound in there.

Notice that I don’t pronounce that /r/ there but

Irish English speakers will, they will pronounce

There’s my rubbish Irish accent but

note that there will be a few distinctions between

native English accents and that’s one of them.

I would say

and Irish people would say something like

Anyway, if you want to practise with an Irish accent,

practise pronouncing that /r/

That first syllable is the stressed syllable.

The first syllable is the stressed syllable,

the other two reduce.

Okay, let’s take a break!

Quick ad break, grab a mouthful of water,

shake things up a little bit and relax.

Then come back and join me for the letter J.

So that’s the /dʒ/ as in ‘jam’ consonant sound.

The second syllable is the stressed one

and the others reduce.

So that’s the /eɪ/ as in ‘day’ vowel sound.

Again, we have the /dʒ/ consonant sound

followed by the schwa, which tells us that the

first syllable is unstressed.

So that’s the /æ/ as in ‘apple’

• strong vowel sound in the second syllable.

Again, the /dʒ/ consonant sound followed by the

/ɔː/ vowel sound, /ɔː/ as in ‘door’

The second syllable is unstressed.

So the stress there is on the final syllable.

And there’s quite a few countries that end

with this suffix, ‘-stan’

Okay, so you’ll hear native English speakers

pronouncing it either

or

So that stress is on the first syllable.

The third syllable is the stressed one.

That’s the /ʊ/ as in ‘book’ vowel sound.

The /eɪ/ vowel sound

So you’ll see that the third syllable

is the stressed syllable.

But the first syllable is also quite strong,

it’s a secondary stress.

This is the /aʊ/ as in ‘now’ vowel sound.

The first syllable is the stressed one.

The first syllable is stressed

and the second and third syllables are unstressed.

Okay this one, I have been

saying incorrectly for my whole entire life!

It’s not

like I’ve been saying, but it’s

So the stress is on the second syllable there.

That’s the /uː/ as in ‘zoo’ vowel sound.

And the ‘-th’ you don’t need to pronounce

as a /th/ sound, it’s just

So the first syllable is the /aɪ/ as in ‘buy’ vowel sound.

So the second syllable is stressed and it has the

/ɪə/ as in ‘here’ vowel sound.

So the first syllable there is the strongest as well.

‘Liech’ is the strongest syllable.

That’s the /aɪ/ as in ‘buy’ vowel sound.

So it’s the third syllable that’s stressed.

So we have the /ks/ consonant sounds together.

So that last syllable there,

is pronounced - the vowel sound is pronounced /ɜː/

as in ‘her’.

So we have a couple of stressed syllables here

but the third one is the strongest.

The first syllable is also quite strong.

So the middle syllable there is the stressed one,

the strongest syllable.

The second syllable there is the stressed one.

The other two are unstressed syllables so they reduce.

And just like ‘Indonesia’, you’ll hear the

/ʒ/ consonant sound.

/ʒ/ as in ‘vision’

I used to live in Malaysia actually, in Penang.

Also delicious food!

Lots of beautiful places to visit too, I recommend it.

Not ‘The Maldives’ but

The /ɔː/ as in ‘door’ vowel sound is the stressed sound.

Then you hear the long

vowel sound in the second syllable.

Gosh the Maldives is one place that I would love to visit!

Have you ever been? I hear it’s quite expensive but

maybe that’s why people go there for their honeymoon.

But it’s on my bucket list, I really want to go!

So that long /ɑ:/ vowel sound is the stressed sound.

Now you might hear the vowel sound

in that stressed syllable pronounced slightly differently

by different native English speakers but I say

So ‘Mar’ is the stressed syllable

and then you’re adding the

/ʃ/ consonant sound.

So that stressed syllable there is the third,

the /eɪ/ as in ‘day’ vowel sound.

And we can hear the first sound quite clearly too.

So the first syllable is unstressed,

you can see that it reduces to the schwa.

So there’s the stressed syllable

So we have

So hear as well, how the third syllable reduces down

to the schwa.

Okay now in English, it’s

Another place that is on my bucket list!

Watch out for the consonant cluster here

in the English pronunciation, you have

Okay that last syllable uses the

/əʊ/ as in ‘go’ vowel sound.

Now think back to ‘Indonesia’, this is very similar, right?

It’s the same stress pattern.

/ʒ/ is the consonant sound there.

Okay it’s that long vowel sound.

So we’ve got two letter O’s here

but they’re pronounced differently.

The main stress, in the second syllable

is pronounced as /əʊ/

like the verb ‘go’

So the first syllable is stressed

and the second syllable relaxes to become the schwa.

So the second syllable there is stressed.

The third syllable there is stressed.

You can hear that the first one is also quite strong.

And that final syllable there is the /əʊ/

as in ‘go’ sound.

So the second syllable there is the stressed one.

So that final syllable is the

/əʊ/ vowel sound

but the stress syllable in the middle is the short

sound.

So the first syllable, we have the /əʊ/ vowel sound.

And the last syllable is the stressed syllable.

It’s louder and clearer.

The long

vowel sound.

This is actually an interesting word

for native English speakers to try and pronounce

because the /m/ and /j/ consonant sounds

don’t often appear together in English.

But it’s the second syllable that is stressed.

Can you hear that second syllable is the stressed one?

Three syllables here and the second one is stressed.

So if there are any Australians watching at this point,

our neighbours, our little neighbours must be pretty sick

of us calling their country

It’s

So it’s the second syllable that’s stressed here

and the vowel is the /ɔː/

as in ‘door’ vowel sound.

So we have an unstressed ‘the’,

followed by the stressed syllable

And then followed by the voiced consonant sound

Can you see that extra /j/

there that’s included in the word ‘New’?

Try to make sure that you can hear that word.

Then the second word, ‘Zealand’

has the first syllable stressed.

You’ll hear lots of English pronunciations of this one

which is quite different from the way that

Nicaraguans actually pronounce their country name.

But this is how English speakers usually pronounce it.

or

Okay so there is two different pronunciations

that you’ll hear native English speakers using.

is much closer to the French pronunciation of this word

which I think makes it a little more correct,

but you’ll hear

quite a lot, as well.

And that might be because of ‘Nigeria’

where you hear the second syllable stressed

that’s the /ɪə/ as in ‘here’ vowel sound.

So for ‘Norway’, you’ll hear the first syllable stressed

it’s much louder and much stronger

than the second one.

The second syllable has the strongest stress

and it’s the longer vowel sound.

/ɑː/ like in ‘father’

So again, you’ll always hear the stressed

syllable pronounced slightly differently depending on

which native speaker you’re listening to

but you’ll hear a strong first syllable and the main

third syllable stressed.

See the unstressed syllable at the start.

And the stronger

as the second syllable

The first and the last syllables there are quite strong.

So the first word has three syllables

Again, lots of vowel letters in that last word

but it’s just pronounced

So the first syllable is stressed and

the third syllable is quite interesting, it’s pronounced

Another place on my bucket list.

First syllable unstressed. Second syllable stressed.

So in English, the ‘-ph’ makes the

consonant sound.

The first two syllables are very short and fast.

It’s the

voiced consonant sound.

So here, in the first stressed syllable we have the /əʊ/

as in ‘go’ vowel sound

Another beautiful country!

So that’s the /ɔː/ as in ‘door’

sound in the first and stressed syllable.

That’s an unstressed syllable at the end.

Very low in pitch.

or

depending on which English speaker you hear!

or

So the stress changes there.

Now the main stress is on the second syllable

so it’s /eɪ/ as in ‘day’

And the first syllable is unstressed

so it reduces right down.

Sometimes to the schwa, sometimes you’ll hear

but

usually the schwa.

The stress is on the first syllable there and it is a

short vowel sound

the /ʌ/ vowel sound as in ‘up’

Followed by - so the double S here,

S-S-I-A

makes

the /ʃ/ consonant sound.

That’s the unstressed schwa sound at the end.

So the first syllable you have the

/uː/ as in ‘shoe’ vowel sound

but the second syllable is stressed

So for ‘Saint’

it’s often said quite quickly as

Hear how ‘and’ reduces to

and links to the consonant sound before it

That’s a longer vowel sound there on the first syllable.

The stress on the first syllable is

then ‘-cia’ is pronounced as

So we have

Again, we can link that

vowel sound to the consonant sound.

is the stressed syllable there

That stressed syllable is the /əʊ/

as in ‘go’ vowel sound.

So the stress there is on

Now I have to admit that I’m not the best person

to pronounce this correctly

but as a native English speaker,

who doesn’t speak Portuguese,

I’m going to give it my best shot!

So we have

that’s the /aʊ/ as in ‘now’ vowel sound.

So that

is unstressed, you can see the schwa there.

is stressed, sounds like /eɪ/ as in ‘day’

It kind of rhymes!

So you have the stressed syllable in

So the last syllable here is the stressed syllable.

It’s the /ɔː/ as in ‘door’ vowel sound.

So that stress is on the first syllable.

Now the second syllable is actually the stressed one.

Sounds a lot like

shells.

And don’t forget the plural /z/ sound at the end.

Now it’s actually the last syllable that’s stressed there.

It’s the /əʊ/ as in ‘go’ vowel sound.

It’s the first syllable that’s stressed.

We have that /ŋ/

consonant sound.

That unstressed vowel sound.

You can hear that stress is on the second syllable.

It has the same stress pattern.

It’s that long

vowel sound.

So the stress there is on the first syllable.

You can see how the other two syllables in ‘Solomon’

reduce to the schwa.

The second syllable is the strongest.

So in the first word we have the /aʊ/

as in ‘now’ vowel sound.

and the unvoiced ‘-th’

is the strongest syllable in ‘Africa’

And the consonant

and the

vowel sound can link together.

So we have ‘South’

So that’s the second syllable that’s stressed there.

I’m pretty excited!

I’m visiting South Korea next week and it’s my first time

to visit South Korea. I’m going to Seoul, the capital.

So I think that

street food is pretty amazing there in South Korea

so I’m going to eat as much as I can while I’m there

and I’ll report back.

So the second syllable there is the stressed one.

Spain - also delicious food oh my gosh.

This video is making me hungry!

has the /eɪ/ as in ‘day’ vowel sound.

Notice that the consonant is the

consonant, okay?

is unstressed so it’s quite short and low in pitch.

But our main syllable, the stressed syllable is

which we went over a few minutes ago.

Now this first vowel sound is quite an uncommon one,

it’s the /ʊə/ as in ‘tour’ vowel sound.

And the last syllable is the stressed syllable.

Now I just found out that only a few months ago did

this country name change!

And now it’s not called Swaziland, it’s known as

The Kingdom of eSwatini.

So forget Swaziland,

it’s The Kingdom of eSwatini now.

So that stressed syllable is the first

syllable and it’s a long vowel sound.

So our strongest syllable is

It’s a short vowel sound but we have the

the consonant cluster

The Y makes a short vowel sound.

So the main stress here like all of the other ‘-stans’

is on the last syllable but we can also hear

the first syllable clearly.

So here, we’ve got the third syllable is stressed.

It’s a short vowel sound but it’s the strongest.

Now the ‘-th’ doesn’t make the usual

sound here, it’s not

but

So in English, actually we pronounce

‘Thailand’ with a stress on the first syllable.

Thai people usually stress the second syllable.

Another beautiful country with delicious food!

So we have the same vowel sound that’s repeated,

it’s the /əʊ/ as in ‘go’ sound.

The stress is on the first syllable

with the second syllable

being the reduced schwa sound.

so that’s all short vowel sounds

the reduced ‘and’ sound

that’s the /eɪ/ as in ‘day’ vowel sound.

So notice here the /j/ consonant sound.

Not

but

The stressed syllable is the first one and it’s the /ɜː/

as in ‘her’ vowel sound.

So again, we’re starting with the /ɜː/ vowel sound here

Now ‘men’ is the secondary stress here

so we hear it a little more clearly.

‘-stan’ is the strongest syllable.

The second syllable is the strongest one and they’re

all long vowel sounds.

We have that

sound there,

The second syllable is stressed.

Again we have that

pronunciation.

The second syllable is the stressed one.

It’s the /eɪ/ as in ‘day’ vowel sound.

So you have

The stress in ‘Emirates’ is on the first syllable.

Now of course the United Kingdom is made up of

England, Scotland, Wales

and Northern Ireland.

And I want to highlight ‘England’ because

some of my students, particularly my

Chinese and Korean students,

they have trouble with the first vowel sound in ‘England’

It’s a short /ɪ/

Not the

vowel sound.

It’s English, not

It’s England, not

Okay so focus on that short /ɪ/ sound.

Notice how the second syllable reduces to the schwa.

We’ve been over this one.

So ‘States’ has the ‘eɪ/

/eɪ/ as in ‘day’ vowel sound.

reduced sound there

Okay so we have

It’s that second syllable that’s stressed and strongest.

So you can hear at the end there that that

is pronounced as /aɪ/ like ‘bye’

It’s the /ʊ/

as in ‘book’ vowel sound at the start.

so ‘bek’ is the second stress

‘-stan’ is the strongest stress.

That third syllable is the stressed one.

Notice that in English, the pronunciation

of that V is

instead of

it’s

Just like

Again, that /j/ sound

but the stress is on the first syllable.

The first syllable is stressed.

The second syllable is the strong one.

We made it!

If you stayed with me the whole way

through that lesson, give yourself a huge

pat on the back.

That was insane!

I’m completely exhausted now!

But keep in mind that this is the standard English

pronunciation of these countries,

in my Australian accent.

So there’s definitely going to be variations,

when you listen to pronunciation

between native English speakers.

But learning and practising the English pronunciation

with me is going to help you to communicate a little

more clearly and to help your listening skills as well.

I need a glass of water.

I need to drink about three of those, I’m sure you do too.

This has been such a great

pronunciation practice lesson.

It’s literally like taking your

mouth to the gym for a workout, I think

you probably need about five minutes break before I

send you to another video so I won’t recommend any

just yet.

大家好，我是 mmmEnglish 的 Emma！

在本视频中，我将

介绍国名的英文发音。

现在你们中的许多人一直在要求这样的视频，

因为以英语为母语的人

说您的国家/地区名称

的方式可能与您的方式完全不同。

这对沟通来说可能是一个真正的挑战。

当您在听母语人士

或您自己说话时，

请确保您被理解。

不过，国名的有趣之

处在于，一方面，

国名的发音是

由当地人口 - 居住在那里的人所发音的。

对？ 这是他们的母语！

现在，英语通常会采用这种发音

并对其进行一些更改或调整，以使

以英语为母语的人更容易使用。

所以另一方面，

有时听起来完全不同！

而且，根据您与

哪个以英语为母语的人交谈，它听起来也可能略有不同。

因此，澳大利亚人

对同一个国名的发音可能

与加拿大人或英国人略有不同。

一些以英语为母语的人可能会发音这个名字，

或者他们可能会说

所以这取决于他们的口音。

本课将向您展示如何发音

所有不同的

国家名称或联合国承认的一百九十三个

。

而且您还会听到我的发音，

这将帮助您提高听力技巧。

所以我会按字母顺序浏览这些名字，

所以如果你对某个特定国家感到好奇，

那么你可以在视频中向前跳过。

现在对于我的学生来说，

我知道这个视频会很长，

但我认为你应该一直陪着我

，大声练习。

这将是一个巨大的

英语健身房锻炼你的嘴。

我保证我们将在本课中涵盖每一个英语发音

。

此外，这是

修改国际音标符号 IPA 的绝佳机会。

好的？ 修改这些声音和它们的样子。

好的，你准备好了吗？ 我们开工吧！

现在注意元音下面的那条小线。

这是这个单词中的重读音节

，我将在

本课中一直使用这条线来告诉你

英语发音中哪个音节的重读，

哪个元音是最强的元音。

您还将

在此处的音位脚本中看到它。

现在，如果您想知道我放在这里的这些疯狂的符号是什么

，

那么

如果您想了解

更多关于国际音标

以帮助您改进的信息，请务必查看本课程 你的发音，

看看那里。

请注意，重读音节是 /eɪ/，

就像在“day”元音中一样。

这与“阿尔巴尼亚”的压力模式相同。

这是 /dʒ/ 辅音。

所以重读音节是 /ɔː/

就像在“门”中一样。

同样，这是相同的压力模式。

重音在第二个音节上，

但也要注意辅音 /ŋ/

在那里而不是

我对这个有点紧张，因为

我不太擅长用英语说它，

但让我们一起分解它。

第二个音节

是第一个单词的重读音节，是长

音。

最后两个元音字母实际上没有重读，

它们只发出一种声音，即 schwa。

‘and’ 被简化为

所以这里有两个长元音。

但它是第二个被强调的，

所以它的发音更强烈，更清晰一些。

最后，最后一个音节是非重读音节。

所以这次重音在第三个音节上。

所以说阿根廷人和西班牙语的人，请

注意在英语中，我们使用 /dʒ/ 辅音

而不是 /h/ 声音。

当然，你不需要改变你的发音

才能被理解，但为了减少你的口音，

你会尝试发 /dʒ/ 音。

你能听到那里的重读音节吗？

所以重音在第二个音节上。

那是 /eɪ/ 在“day”元音中。

我来自澳大利亚！

既然这是我的祖国，

我会给你一些额外的建议。

许多澳大利亚人的发音

和音节重音都很懒惰。

所以你可能只会听到

So 韵母

被缩减为

And 有时，

甚至第一个音节也会被完全删除。

所以不是

它，

所以这对你来说只是一些内幕知识！

现在非常相似，是

但是你会听到压力模式不同，好吗？

重音模式

将重音放在第一个音节上。

好的，第一个音节是重读的。

所以这里的重读音节实际上是最后一个。

现在我一直

以为是“vision”中的 /ʒ/ 而不是“jam”中的 /dʒ/

但是你有！ 我发错了！

哎呀！ 我们已经达到了B！

通常说，“巴哈马”。

所以重音在第二个音节上。

现在，长元音实际上在第一个音节中，

但第二个音节是重读音节。

现在我知道我在孟加拉国有很多学生

在观看，

所以向孟加拉国的所有人问好！

英语中的主要重音在最后一个音节上。

但请注意，第一个音节也有重音

，中间音节减少到 schwa。

所以第一个音节有一个长元音，

但重音在第二个音节上。

请注意，这两个 A

的发音实际上是不同的。

所以从我们开始，

中间音节不重读，它

减少成为 schwa 声音。

所以重音在最后一个音节上。

重音在第一个音节上。

是最强的声音。

而“I”和“U”创造了无

重读的元音，即第二个音节中的 schwa。

所以听听重读元音是如何

成为第二个音节中的长元音的。

我们以那个

辅音结束。

再一次，听到第二个音节中的长元音

字母“I”这样发音是不寻常的，

但我们有它。

同样，第一个音节中有一个长元音。

但是第二个音节是重读音节。

第一个音节不重读。

它的音调非常低。

重音在第二个音节上。

是那里的强音节。

两个音节很简单！

五个呢？

所以

听到那里添加的 /t/ 声音吗？

那是重读音节。

真是满口啊！

所以这里的重音在第二个音节上。

多亏了那里所有的辅音，所以这有点棘手。

我也知道我也有很多

来自巴西的学生在观看比赛，所以大家好！

在英语中，我们

真的在“巴西”中击中了最后的 /l/ 辅音。

因此，在第一个音节中听到未

重读的 schwa 声音。

但是重音在第二个音节上。

所以第一个音节的声音较长，

但重读的是第二个音节。

这是一个不重读的音节。

第二个音节是重读音节。

重音在第二个音节上。

所以我们在那里听到 /ʊ/ 就像在“书”元音中一样。

实际上，你听到了两次。

第二个音节是重读音节。

重音在第二个音节上。

这是“go”元音中的/əʊ/。

所以最后一个音节的重音

是长元音。

重音在第一个音节上，

看看第二个音节是如何降低为 schwa 音的

，即无重音的声音。

它可能是最容易发音的国家名称之一，

加拿大的人也很可爱。

他们是我见过的最好、最有礼貌的人

。

所以，很容易说出他们的名字，非常善良的人。

可能值得一游！

所以这里“Verde”的最后一个“E”

在用英语说话时是无声的。

还有复数的“Islands”。

当您谈论国家/地区时，它总是会出现，不是吗？

非常频繁地出现。

它是 /aɪ/，如“my”或“sky”元音。

紧随其后的是非重读

元音 schwa。

请注意，复数“S”实际上发音

为浊 /z/ 音。

三个词。

那里的第一个音节是重读的。

第一个音节再次，第二个减少。

那么你能听到“Republic”

中的第二个音节是重读的吗？

第一个音节向下减少，

它变成了 schwa。

我们在这里转向“ch”辅音。

所以把你的嘴角微微

收起，张开你的嘴唇来发出这个声音。

现在，大多数说英语的人会说“智利”，而不是

那些实际访问过智利的

人可能会

说它更像当地人。

同样，我们有“ch”辅音。

辅音后面是

/aɪ/ 元音，

/aɪ/ 如在“my”中。

然后我们有最后的非重读音节。

无压力。

或者以

英语为母语的人会说两者。

但重音在第二个音节上。

所以这里的重音在第一个音节上。

同样，我们之前学过这个。

然后是两个不重读的词。

他们减少了。

所以重音在第一个音节上。

现在，就在刚果共和国的隔壁

是刚果民主共和国。

所以那里的压力，你能听到吗？

所以，两个非重读音节都是 schwa 音。

再说一次，我们有 /aɪ/ 就像这里的 ‘my’ 元音。

所以我们有一个短音节跟随。

所以这是 /əʊ/ 在“go”元音中。

再次， /əʊ/ 在“go”元音中。

所以中间音节是这里的重读音节。

再一次， /eɪ/ 在“day”元音中。

这里的’-tia’实际上发音为

所以记住，

这是这个词的英文发音。

所以它不是

但

注意包含的 /j/ 声音。

在这里产生重读元音的是辅音字母“Y”

。

第二个音节的音调越来越短。

这对于以英语为母语的人来说也很棘手。

第一个词，

听起来和那个词一模一样。

所以我们在几个国家之前讨论了“共和国”。

那里的重读音节是第二个音节。

它经常与冠词“the”一起使用。

所以这里有很多话，

但让我们专注于压力。

所以我们有’of’的非重读形式，

它的音调很低。

它有点链接到“共和国”的结尾。

所以中间音节在那里重读。

其他两个减少到 schwa 声音。

又称北朝鲜。

所以这是

元音

后面跟着清音的'-th’辅音。

把空气从你的嘴里挤出来。

第一个音节是重读的，它是最强的。

那是 /dʒ/ 在“jam”辅音中。

和 /uː/ 在 ‘food’ 元音中一样。

现在要小心

，重音实际上在第三个音节上。

这是长

元音，如“她”。

所以其他音节减少。

所以两者

之间存在一些非常相似的压力变化。 不是，

但是

有一个重音变化，现在我们

重读第二个音节

，其他的变得又短又快。

这就是

“东”中的长元音。

所以重音在第一个音节上。

但是请注意，当说英语时，这两个词之间存在联系，

因为“East”以与

“Timor”开头的辅音相同。

我们可以把这些词放在一起

，我们只发

一次声音。

那么你能听到那种压力吗？ 它在第一个音节上。

所以最后一个音节是 /ɔː/ 就像在“门”元音中一样。

所以有长

元音后面跟着 /dʒ/ 辅音。

现在不要忘记最后一个辅音， /t/

所以请注意最后两个辅音，

它们都在那里 - 尽管

减少了一点并且没有空气推动。

所以在英语中，我们可以清楚地听到 /v/ 的辅音。

确保你的牙齿接触到你的下唇

才能发出这种声音。

那里的压力在哪里？

这是第三个音节。

现在不用担心

第二个单词中的所有元音字母，它只是发音

所以第三个音节是重读音节。

其他减少。

所以那个重读音节是第二个。

/əʊ/ 元音发音如“go”。

所以那里的第三个音节实际上是最强的。

我们有

它是长

元音。

所以辅音 /dʒ

/ 第一个音节重读

，第二个音节不重读，

这样元音就降低了。

请注意，它

的末尾是清音 /s/ 辅音。

第二个音节是重读音节。

第一个简化为 schwa。

所以我们有不重读的“the”

所以第一个音节是最强的。

所以从 /dʒ/ 辅音开始，

/dʒ/ 就像在“jam”中一样，

然后是 /ɔː/

元音。

然后我们有第二个

音节，其中包括未重读的 schwa 声音。

又是同一个辅音。

所以我们有相同的元音

，第一个音节是重读音节。

那是 /ɜː/ 在“她”元音中。

第二个音节被减少且不重读。

第一个音节重读

，第二个不重读。

哦，我的天哪，我们到了“希腊”。

没去过希腊，一定要去！

这是我去过的最美丽的地方之一。

还有食物！

我现在只是梦想一个欧洲的夏天，

在澳大利亚这里很冷！

所以我们这里有一个长音元音，

因为只有一个音节。

最后的

辅音。

注意那里的中间音节，重读音节。

发音是 /eɪ/ 元音，就像在“day”中一样。

不是

所以我们这里有四个音节

，第三个是重读音节。

现在我们已经和赤道几内亚讨论了

几内亚，

所以请记住，您不必担心

这里的所有元音字母，好吗？

它只是发音为

Ah，我们又来了，

所以重音在第二个单词的最后一个音节上。

它是 /aʊ/，如“now”元音。

这里的重音在第二个音节上。

但是第一个音节还包括

一个更强的元音。

所以这里的“ai”的发音

与“day”相同。 是同一个元音。

所以重音在第二个音节上

——也是最棘手的。

注意那里额外的小音节，

所以它听起来与形容词“饿了”不同

所以这是第一个重读的音节。

/aɪ/ 如 ‘buy’ 或 ‘my

' 下一个音节不重读。

你会听到 schwa 的声音。

重音在第一个音节上。

我知道我也有很多学生在印度观看比赛，

所以我很高兴向你们所有人问好！

所以在这里，我们强调了第三个音节。

所以这就是“vision”中的 /ʒ/ 辅音

现在，印度尼西亚人可能会这样发音，

因为 /s/ 辅音与印度尼西亚不同，

印度尼西亚

也是一个美丽的国家，适合度假。

或者，一些母语人士会说

所以第二个音节是重音所在

，元音可能略有不同。

同样的

，

我说

所以，这有点棘手，它的发音

与“岛”略有不同。

那里有一个额外的schwa声音。

请注意，我不会在那里发音 /r/，但会说

爱尔兰英语的人，他们会发音

There’s my rubbish Irish 口音，但

请注意，母语英语口音之间会有一些区别

，这就是其中之一。

我会

说爱尔兰人会说

无论如何，如果你想练习爱尔兰口音，

练习发音 /r/

第一个音节是重读音节。

第一个音节是重读音节

，其他两个是减少音节。

好，我们休息一下！

快速广告休息，喝一口水，

稍微摇晃一下，放松一下。

然后回来和我一起学习字母 J。

所以这就是 /dʒ/ 在“jam”辅音中。

第二个音节是重读音节

，其他音节是减音节。

这就是 /eɪ/ 在“day”元音中的发音。

再一次，我们有 /dʒ/ 辅音

后面跟着 schwa，这告诉我们

第一个音节没有重读。

这就是“apple”中的 /æ/

• 第二个音节中的强元音。

同样，/dʒ/ 辅音后跟

/ɔː/ 元音，/ɔː/ 如“门

”第二个音节不重读。

所以重音在最后一个音节上。

有不少国家

以这个后缀结尾，'-stan’

好的，所以你会听到以英语为母语的人

发音它或者

所以重音在第一个音节上。

第三个音节是重读音节。

那是 /ʊ/ 在“书”元音中。

/eɪ/ 元音发音

所以你会看到第三个音节

是重读音节。

但是第一个音节也很强

，是次重音。

这是 /aʊ/ 在“现在”元音中。

第一个音节是重读音节。

第一个音节是重读的

，第二个和第三个音节是非重读的。

好吧，我这

辈子都说错了！

这

不像我一直在说的那样，但它是

所以重音在第二个音节上。

那是 /uː/ 就像 ‘zoo’ 元音。

而'-th’你不需要发

成/th/音，它只是

所以第一个音节是/aɪ/，就像’buy’元音一样。

所以第二个音节是重读的，它有

/ɪə/ 就像’here’元音。

所以第一个音节也是最强的。

“Liech”是最强音节。

那是 /aɪ/ 在“购买”元音中。

所以重读的是第三个音节。

所以我们有 /ks/ 辅音在一起。

所以那里的最后一个音节

发音 - 元音发音 /ɜː/

就像在“她”中一样。

所以我们这里有几个重读音节，

但第三个是最强的。

第一个音节也很强。

所以中间音节是重读

音节，最强音节。

第二个音节是重读音节。

另外两个是非重读音节，所以它们减少。

就像“印度尼西亚”一样，您会听到

/ʒ/ 辅音。

/ʒ/ 就像’vision’中的

我实际上曾经住在马来西亚，在槟城。

还有美味的食物！

很多美丽的地方也可以参观，我推荐它。

不是“The Maldives”，而是

“door”元音中的 /ɔː/ 是重读音。

然后你会

听到第二个音节中的长元音。

天哪，马尔代夫是我很想去的一个地方！

你去过吗？ 我听说它很贵，但

也许这就是人们去那里度蜜月的原因。

但它在我的遗愿清单上，我真的很想去！

所以长 /ɑ:/ 元音是重读音。

现在你可能会听到不同英语母语者

发音略有不同的重读音节中的元音，

但我说

所以“Mar”是重读音节

，然后你要添加

/ʃ/ 辅音。

所以重读音节有第三个

，/eɪ/，如“day”元音。

我们也可以很清楚地听到第一个声音。

所以第一个音节是非重读的，

你可以看到它减少到 schwa。

所以有重读音节

所以我们也

听到了，第三个音节如何减少

到 schwa。

好的，现在用英语，

这是我的遗愿清单上的另一个地方！

注意

英语发音中的辅音簇，你

知道最后一个音节使用

/əʊ/ 就像在“go”元音中一样。

现在回想一下“印度尼西亚”，这很相似，对吧？

这是相同的压力模式。

/ʒ/是那里的辅音。

好吧，就是那个长元音。

所以我们这里有两个字母 O，

但它们的发音不同。

第二个音节中的主要重音

发音为/əʊ/，

就像动词“go”一样，

所以第一个音节重读

，第二个音节放松成为schwa。

所以那里的第二个音节是重读的。

第三个音节重读。

你可以听到第一个也很强大。

最后一个音节是 /əʊ/，

如“go”音。

所以第二个音节是重读音节。

所以最后一个音节是

/əʊ/ 元音，

但中间的重读音节是

短音。

所以第一个音节，我们有 /əʊ/ 元音。

最后一个音节是重读音节。

它更响亮、更清晰。

长

元音。

对于以英语为母语的人来说，这实际上是一个有趣的词，

因为 /m/ 和 /j/ 辅音

在英语中并不经常一起出现。

但重读的是第二个音节。

你能听到第二个音节是重读音节吗？

这里三个音节，第二个音节重读。

因此，如果此时有任何澳大利亚人在观看，

我们的邻居，我们的小邻居一定很

讨厌我们称他们的国家为

It

’s 所以这里重读的第二个音节

和元音是 /ɔː/

就像在“门”元音中一样 .

所以我们有一个非重读的’the'，

后面是重读

音节，然后是浊辅音

你能看到那个额外的/j

/包含在’New’这个词中吗？

试着确保你能听到那个词。

然后第二个单词“Zealand

”重读了第一个音节。

你会听到很多英语发音，

这与

尼加拉瓜人实际发音他们的国名的方式完全不同。

但这是说英语的人通常的发音方式。

或者

好的，

所以您会听到母语为英语的人使用两种不同的发音。

更接近这个词的法语发音

，我认为这使它更正确，

但你也会听到

很多。

这可能是因为在“尼日利亚”

中，您会听到第二个音节重读

，即 /ɪə/，就像在“这里”元音中一样。

所以对于“挪威”，你会听到第一个音节强调

它

比第二个音节响亮得多。

第二个音节的

重音最强，元音较长。

/ɑː/ like in ‘father

' 同样，你总是会听到重读

音节的发音略有不同，具体取决于

你听的是哪个母语人士，

但你会听到一个强有力的第一个音节和主要的

第三个音节重读。

查看开头的非重读音节。

和

第二个音节一样强

第一个和最后一个音节都很强。

所以第一个词有三个音节

同样，最后一个词中有很多元音字母，

但它只是发音

所以第一个音节是重读的

，第三个音节很有趣，它的发音

是我的遗愿清单上的另一个地方。

第一个音节不重读。 第二个音节重读。

所以在英语中，“-ph”发出

辅音。

前两个音节非常短且快速。

是

浊辅音。

所以在这里，在第一个重读音节中，我们有 /əʊ/

就像 ‘go’ 元音中的

另一个美丽的国家！

这就是第一个重读音节中的“门”音中的 /ɔː/

。

结尾是一个不重读的音节。

音调很低。

或

取决于您听到的说英语的人！

或者

所以那里的压力发生了变化。

现在主要重音在第二个音节上，

所以它是 /eɪ/ 就像在 ‘day

' 中第一个音节没有重读，

所以它向下减少。

有时到 schwa，有时你会听到

但

通常是 schwa。

重音在第一个音节上，它是一个

短

元音 /ʌ/ 元音，如 ‘up’ 后面

跟着 - 所以这里的双 S，

S-S-I-A

发出 /ʃ/ 辅音。

那是结尾处没有重读的 schwa 声音。

所以第一个音节你有

/uː/ 就像在’shoe’元音中一样，

但是第二个音节是重音

所以对于’Saint’

来说，它经常说得很快，因为

听到’and’如何减少

并链接到它之前的辅音

那是 第一个音节上有一个较长的元音。

第一个音节上的重音

然后是“-cia”发音为

所以我们

再次，我们可以将

元音与辅音联系起来。

那里是重读音节

那个重读音节是/əʊ/，

如“go”元音。

所以压力

现在我不得不承认我不是

正确发音的最佳人选，

但作为一个不会说葡萄牙语的母语为英语的人

，我会尽力而为！

所以我们

有 /aʊ/ 就像在“now”元音中一样。

所以这

是没有压力的，你可以在那里看到施瓦。

重音，听起来像 /eɪ/ 就像’day

' 有点押韵！

所以你有重读音节

所以这里的最后一个音节是重读音节。

它是 /ɔː/ 就像在“门”元音中一样。

所以重音在第一个音节上。

现在第二个音节实际上是重读音节。

听起来很像

贝壳。

并且不要忘记结尾的复数 /z/ 声音。

现在它实际上是那里重读的最后一个音节。

它是 /əʊ/，如“go”元音。

这是重读的第一个音节。

我们有那个 /ŋ/

辅音。

那种不重读的元音。

你可以听到重音在第二个音节上。

它具有相同的应力模式。

就是那个长

元音。

所以重音在第一个音节上。

您可以看到“所罗门”中的其他两个音节如何

简化为 schwa。

第二个音节最强。

所以在第一个单词中我们有 /aʊ/

就像在“now”元音中一样。

而清音’-th'

是’Africa’中最强的音节

并且辅音

和

元音可以连接在一起。

所以我们有’South'

所以这是那里重读的第二个音节。

我很兴奋！

我下周要去韩国，这是我第一次

去韩国。 我要去首尔，首都。

所以我认为

韩国的街头小吃非常棒，

所以我会尽可能多地吃

，我会回来报告的。

所以第二个音节是重读音节。

西班牙——还有美味的食物哦，天哪。

这个视频让我饿了！

有 /eɪ/ 就像 ‘day’ 元音。

注意辅音是

辅音，好吗？

没有重读，所以它很短而且音调很低。

但是我们的主要音节，重读音节

是我们几分钟前讨论过的。

现在这个第一个元音很不常见，

它是 /ʊə/ 就像在“tour”元音中一样。

最后一个音节是重读音节。

现在我才发现，这个国名只是几个月前才

改的！

现在它不叫斯威士兰了，它被

称为 eSwatini 王国。

所以忘记斯威士兰吧，

它现在是 eSwatini 王国。

所以重读音节是第一个

音节，它是一个长元音。

所以我们最强的音节是

它是一个短元音，但我们

有辅音簇

The Y 发出一个短元音。

所以这里的主要重音就像所有其他“-stans”

一样在最后一个音节上，但我们也可以

清楚地听到第一个音节。

所以在这里，我们得到了第三个音节是重读的。

这是一个短元音，但它是最强的。

现在'-th’在这里不发出通常的

声音，它不是

但是

所以在英语中，实际上我们发音

‘Thailand’时在第一个音节上带有重音。

泰国人通常重读第二个音节。

另一个美丽的国家，有美味的食物！

所以我们有相同的元音重复，

它是 /əʊ/ 和 ‘go’ 的声音。

重音在第一个音节

上，第二个音节

是减少的 schwa 声音。

所以这就是所有短元音的

声音减少的’and’声音

是/eɪ/，就像’day’元音声音一样。

所以注意这里的 /j/ 辅音。

Not

but 重读音节是第一个音节，它是 /ɜː/，

就像在“她”元音中一样。

再说一次，我们从这里的 /ɜː/ 元音开始

现在“men”是这里的次要重音，

所以我们听得更清楚一点。

“-stan”是最强音节。

第二个音节最强，

都是长元音。

我们那里有那个

声音

， 第二个音节是重读的。

我们再次有那个

发音。

第二个音节是重读音节。

它是 /eɪ/ 就像在“day”元音中一样。

所以你有

“酋长国”中的重音在第一个音节上。

现在，英国当然由

英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士

和北爱尔兰组成。

我想强调“England”，因为

我的一些学生，特别是我的

中国和韩国学生，

他们对“England”中的第一个元音有问题。

这是一个短 /ɪ/

不是

元音。

是英语，

不是英格兰，不是

好吧，所以专注于那个短 /ɪ/ 声音。

注意第二个音节是如何简化为 schwa 的。

我们已经结束了这个。

所以’States’有’eɪ/

/eɪ/‘就像’day’元音。

那里的声音减少了

好的，所以我们

有第二个音节是重读和最强的。

所以你可以在结尾处

听到发音为 /aɪ/ 就像 ‘bye’

它是 /ʊ/

就像在开头的 ‘book’ 元音。

所以’bek’是第二重音

‘-stan’是最强的重音。

第三个音节是重读音节。

请注意，在英语中，

那个 V 的发音

不是

Just like

Again，那个 /j/ 发音，

但重音在第一个音节上。

第一个音节重读。

第二个音节是强音。

我们成功了！

如果你在整个课程中一直和我在一起

，请给自己一个大大的

鼓励。

那太疯狂了！

我现在完全筋疲力尽了！

但请记住，这是这些国家的标准英语

发音，

用我的澳大利亚口音。

因此，

当您听以

英语为母语的人之间的发音时，肯定会有变化。

但是和我一起学习和练习英语发音

会帮助你

更清楚地交流，也会帮助你提高听力。

我需要一杯水。

我需要喝大约三个，我相信你也这样做。

这是一堂很棒的

发音练习课。

这实际上就像带着你的

嘴去健身房锻炼，我想

你可能需要休息大约五分钟，然后我才会

给你发另一个视频，所以我暂时不推荐任何视频

。
