Hello there! This is the "Sounds American" channel.
In this video, we're going to talk about the American consonant sound /d/, as in the word "dog." You can also hear this sound in words like "doll," "bird," "dad" or "buddy."
We’ll be using a special phonetic symbol - /d/ - for this sound.
The /d/ is one of the six consonants that belong to the stop sounds category.
Let's start with reviewing what we learned in the Stops Sounds Overview video.
The /d/ is made by stopping the air with the tip of your tongue at the alveolar ridge.
The /d/ is a voiced sound. It has a voiceless counterpart, the consonant sound /t/.
As with all stop sounds, aspiration is important for the pronunciation of the /d/ consonant.
The /d/ is made with a slight puff of air at the beginning of words and stressed syllables.
At the end of words, the /d/ follows the final stop rule and is not aspirated.
Check out a few examples:
• "day," "address," "do"
• "bed," "grade, " "road."
Now that we've covered the basics, let's find out how to make this sound.
Slightly open your mouth and leave your lips in a neutral position.
Now, you have to stop the air in your mouth.
This is how you do that:
Place the tip of your tongue on the alveolar ridge behind your upper front teeth.
Now, stop the air with the tip of your tongue and then release it with a small puff.
Remember, the /d/ is a voiced sound, so you need to add your voice.
Let’s try making it: /d/, /d/, /d/.
Now, let’s do some pronunciation exercises; we'll start with the /d/ at the beginning of words.
Remember that the /d/ should be voiced and slightly aspirated.
Try to practice as many words as possible, this is the most important part of the whole lesson.
Let’s begin!
• daily
• damage
• dance
• dark
• daughter
• deal
• delight
• design
• desk
• dessert
• dew
• dial
• dirt
• discover
• dismiss
• doctor
• dollar
• drugstore
• during
• dust
Let’s pause here for a second and review the final stop rule. When the stop sounds are found at the end of words, they are pronounced without a puff of air.
As you may have already guessed, that's what we'll practice with the words in the next group.
• add
• afraid
• avoid
• card
• child
• cold
• coward
• crowd
• field
• food
• glad
• gold
• hard
• hood
• kind
• loud
• wild
• wood
• world
• yard
Awesome! Now let's practice pronouncing words with more than one /d/ sound.
Your challenge is to determine if you should or should not aspirate the /d/.
Hint: listen carefully to how the words are pronounced.
• dad (the first /d/ is aspirated, the second /d/ is not aspirated)
• daddy (the first /d/ is aspirated, the second /d/ is not aspirated)
• decide (the first /d/ is aspirated, the second /d/ is not aspirated)
• decided (the first and the second /d/ sounds are aspirated, the third /d/ is not aspirated)
• deduct (both /d/ sounds are aspirated)
• deed (the first /d/ is aspirated, the second /d/ is not aspirated)
• demand (the first /d/ is aspirated, the second /d/ is not aspirated)
• dependable (both /d/ sounds are aspirated)
• cardboard (both /d/ sounds are not aspirated)
• childhood (both /d/ sounds are not aspirated)
• extended (the first /d/ is aspirated, the second /d/ is not aspirated)
• hundred (the first /d/ is aspirated, the second /d/ is not aspirated)
• independence (both /d/ sounds are aspirated)
• roadside (both /d/ sounds are not aspirated)
• standard (the first /d/ is aspirated, the second /d/ is not aspirated)
