And today I'd like to talk to you about the word 'particularly'.
3

00:12
And in particular, how to pronounce it.
4
12060
2730
00:15
So let's begin with the first syllable - p'r, p'r.
5
15180
3259
00:18
It's a /p/ sound and then an /r/ - p'r, p'r.
6
18580
4490
00:23
So, although there is the vowel, the vowel letter A, it's not pronounced
7
23310
5010
00:28
as 'par', but it's reduced - p'r, p'r, as in 'perfect' or 'person'.
8
28320
5340
00:33
Then we shift to the primary stress - 'TI': a strong /t/ sound
9
33990
3960
00:37
and the 'i' as in 'sit' - p'r-TI.
10
37980
3359
00:41
Since it's the primary stress of the word, it's higher and pitch, notice
11
41550
3719
00:45
that I raised my pitch for it - p'r-TI, and then it's also longer than the
12
45269
4500
00:49
rest of the syllables - p'r-TI.
13
49769
2020
00:52
Then we shift to ky' - a /k/ sound, then 'y' as in 'yes' or 'yay', and a schwa.
14
52319
10891
01:03
ky'.
15
63543
1467
01:05
All right?
16
65039
390
01:05
No 'uw' sound there, although it's spelled with a U.
17
65459
2791
01:08
p'r-TI-ky' and then again, a reduced vowel - l'r, l'r: and L and then you
18
68580
5960
01:14
shift to an R - l'r as in 'learn'.
19
74540
2980
01:17
p'r-TI-ky'-l'r.
20
77880
1280
01:19
And then you end it with 'lee', 'lee' - high 'ee' at the end.
21
79335
3540
01:23
p'r-TI-ky'-l'r-lee.
22
83195

01:25
I don't particularly like to practice this word, but I have to.
23
85065
3660
01:29
Particularly.
24
89055
840
01:30
Now, if you struggle with the R sound, you can drop the first R in this
25
90164
3841
01:34
word and just say p'-TI-ky'-l'r-lee, p'r-TI-ky'-l'r-lee - that's also
26
94005
3960
01:37
totally fine, and a little easier.
27
97965
3169
01:41
All right, that's it.
