Pronunciation - V & W sound - English Accent Lesson

source: Learn English with Let's Talk     2014年3月31日
Both of these sounds ( V & W ) are articulated using the lips, and both sounds are voiced, meaning that the vocal cords vibrate during the sound.

The 'W' Sound
When you create the w sound (w sound), your lips are brought together enough to cause a vibration when the air passes through between them. Your lips don't need to be in a really tight circle, just enough to make them tickle a little bit equally on the top and bottom lip. The key is that the lips are both vibrating the same amount.

The 'V' Sound
The v sound is voiced (the vocal cords vibrate during its production).

To create the v sound, the jaw is held nearly closed. The upper backside of the bottom lip is pressed very lightly into the bottom of the top teeth. Air is pushed out the mouth between the top teeth and the upper backside of the bottom lip. This sound is a continuous consonant, meaning that it should be capable of being produced for a few seconds with even and smooth pronunciation for the entire duration.

The lips are kept mostly relaxed during the v sound. A common error ESL/ELL students make is overproducing this sound by curling the bottom lip under the top teeth. This creates problems when linking to and from the v sound.

0:01 Welcome to twominenglish.com. Teaching you English through two-minute lessons.
0:06 In this lesson you will learn how to talk about endangered animals.
0:16 Amelie, is the tiger skin in your house real?
0:21 Yeah, that’s real. My granny says it’s the skin of a Siberian tiger.
0:27 Oh! The Siberian tigers are the largest living felids! Unfortunately there are only a few hundred alive now.
0:37 I know. My great-grandfather was a hunter and he hunted it. I really wish he hadn’t.
0:44 Well, it’s not your fault. I’m sure you don’t like to hurt animals.
0:49 No Jack, I don’t. I love animals. I’m an animal rights activist in fact.
0:55 Why do you still keep that skin in your house?
0:58 I can’t help it. My parents think it’s a souvenir from their ancestor.
1:10 I’ve never seen a real rhino. They look like dinosaurs, right?
1:16 No Amelie! Rhinos are mammals, dinosaurs were reptiles. Rhinos look like Rhinos.
1:25 Oh, I am sorry. I haven’t seen a dinosaur either.
1:30 That’s because dinosaurs are extinct.
1:34 But we still have Rhinos around, don’t we?
1:37 Yes, but very few. If it continues like that, they will become extinct too.
1:43 What’s happening to them?
1:46 People are cutting down the jungles, and hunting them for their horns. It’s a shame.
1:53 It’s terrible. When will human beings learn to be human?
2:04 The blue whale is the largest creature on Earth.
2:08 A blue whale is an incredibly large mammal! Its tongue is as heavy as an elephant!
2:16 Wow! My granny used to say that we could even live inside its stomach.
2:20 Not really, Nina. That happens only in tales.
2:25 Maybe. Well, I’ve heard that blue whales are dying.
2:29 Actually they are being murdered.
2:33 Murdered? By whom?
2:35 By greedy and cruel people who hunt them for their meat.
2:41 That’s awful.
2:48 I’ve been thinking, Amelie.
2:50 About what Nina?
2:52 How can I help stop animal cruelty?
2:56 Well, we are not the government, but there are some things we can do to make a difference.
3:02 Like?
3:04 I don’t wear leather jackets or shoes. Nor do I wear fur. I use synthetic alternatives.
3:09 That’s a great idea! I will do that too. Is there anything else?
3:13 Well, I talk to my friends and the people I know about these issues. Just helping to spread the awareness.
3:20 I know. You made me aware of the way we treat animals.
3:24 If you can minimize your own impact on the lives of the animals, and also ask your friends to do it, you’ll be making a great difference, Nina.
3:32 Thanks, Amelie. I will remember that.
3:40 The Siberian tigers are the largest living felids!
3:49 Unfortunately there are only a few hundred alive now.
3:57 I’m an animal rights activist in fact.
4:05 I’ve never seen a real rhino.
4:10 But we still have Rhinos around, don’t we?
4:16 A blue whale is an incredibly large mammal!
4:23 Well, I’ve heard that blue whales are dying.
4:30 How can I help stop animal cruelty?
4:36 You made me aware of the way we treat animals.
