For private coaching via Skype, go to https://thestevenstanley.com/ Today we’re going to look at palatalization, which is what happens in casual conversation when a word ending with a “t,” “d,” “s,” or “z” sound comes before a word that begins with a “y.” Take for example the question: “Did you go?” “Did” ends with a “d” and “you” starts with a “y,” so the “d” combines with the “y” to sound like a “j.” “Did you go?” “Did you go?” Here are some more examples: Did you do it? Did you buy one? Could you help me? Would you like some tea? Now let’s look at the sentence “Eat your dinner.” “Eat” ends with the letter “t” and the word “your” starts with the letter “y,” so the “t” combines with the “y” to sound like the letters “ch.” Eat your dinner. Eat your dinner. Here are some other examples. Cut your hair. Shut your eyes. Can’t you see? The letter “s” can combine with a “y” to make the “sh” sound. For example: I miss you a lot. I hope you pass your driver’s test. And the sound of the letter “z” can combine with a “y” to make the “zh” sound of the word “usual.” For example: He’s your brother. She’s your wife. (Note here that the “z” sound in “is spelled with the letter “s,” but it’s still pronounced like a “z,” for example if I say: He’s a liar. She’s a good friend, which is why we make the palatalization in “He’s your brother” and “She’s your wife.” Now let’s practice some longer sentences featuring palatalization. --Would you like to have lunch with us this afternoon? --Is your brother arriving by plane tonight? --I’m sorry, but I didn’t catch what you said. And here’s a sentence with two instances of palatalization. How’s your family doing since you had that accident? Remembering to use palatalization in casual conversation is an important step in learning how to pronounce it right.
