English for Beginners: Learn all the CONSONANT SOUNDS

Hello. I'm Gill at engVid, and today's lesson

Hola. Soy Gill en engVid y la lección de hoy

is on consonants in English. Okay? So all

trata sobre consonantes en inglés. ¿Bueno? Entonces todos

the consonant sounds, not the vowel sounds,

los sonidos de consonantes, no los sonidos de vocales,

but the consonant sounds. So, just to explain

sino los sonidos de consonantes. Entonces, solo para explicar

that the way I've got them written up on the

que la forma en que las tengo escritas aquí en la

board here is this column here, and then down

pizarra es esta columna aquí, y luego

in this column down to the line, they are pairs of consonants because they are formed

en esta columna hasta la línea, son pares de consonantes porque se forman

in the same way, the way you shape your mouth

de la misma manera, la forma en que das forma a tu boca

to make that sound. They're the same way that

para emitir ese sonido. Son de la misma forma en que

you form your mouth, but you put more force

formas tu boca, pero pones más fuerza

behind some of them than the others. They're

detrás de algunos de ellos que de otros. Son

lighter and heavier, but they're the same shape. And then the rest of them below this

más ligeros y pesados, pero tienen la misma forma. Y luego el resto de ellas debajo de esta

line are single consonants that don't belong

línea son consonantes simples que no pertenecen

in a pair. So, I think that will become clearer

a un par. Entonces, creo que eso quedará más claro

as I start to go through them and demonstrate how to make the sound.

cuando empiece a repasarlos y a demostrar cómo hacer el sonido.

Okay, so first of all, and also to explain that I've put the phonetic symbols at the

Bien, primero que nada, y también para explicar que he puesto los símbolos fonéticos a un

side for... Don't worry if you don't know

lado para... No te preocupes si no conoces

the phonetic symbols; you don't need to know

los símbolos fonéticos; no es necesario que

them. This is maybe for people who have learnt

los conozcas. Esto quizás sea para personas que han aprendido

the phonetic symbols who find them useful,

los símbolos fonéticos y que los encuentran útiles,

so don't worry if... You certainly don't need

así que no te preocupes si... Ciertamente no necesitas

to learn these. I have difficulty remembering

aprenderlos. A mí me cuesta recordarlos

them all myself, so don't worry. As long as

todos, así que no te preocupes. Mientras

you know how to pronounce it, that's the main

sepas pronunciarlo, eso es lo principal

thing. But these are to show that each one is a different sound.

. Pero estos son para mostrar que cada uno es un sonido diferente.

So, the first pair, then, is "p" and "b",

Entonces, el primer par es "p" y "b",

so as they appear in the example words "pen"

tal como aparecen en las palabras de ejemplo "pen"

and "back". So, it's "p", "p", "p", "b", "b",

y "back". Entonces, es "p", "p", "p", "b", "b",

"b". So, you can see what I mean by the pair

"b". Entonces, puedes ver a qué me refiero con el par

of consonants formed in the same way by your

de consonantes formadas de la misma manera por tu

mouth. You put your lips together, "p", "p",

boca. Juntas los labios, "p", "p",

"b", "b". And the difference is just that the "p", the "p" sound is lighter, and the

"b", "b". Y la diferencia es simplemente que la "p", el sonido "p" es más claro y el

"b" sound is heavier. You use your vocal cords

sonido "b" es más pesado. Usas más tus cuerdas vocales

more to make the "b" sound. "p", "p", "p",

para hacer el sonido "b". "p", "p", "p", "

"b", "b", "b". So, feel free to repeat them

b", "b", "b". Así que siéntete libre de repetirlas

after me, each one as I say it. "p", "p", "p",

después de mí, cada una según lo diga. "p", "p", "p", "

"b", "b", "b". So, "pen", "back". Okay? So that's the first pair. Then the second pair

b", "b", "b". Entonces, "bolígrafo", "atrás". ¿Bueno? Entonces ese es el primer par. Entonces el segundo par

is "t" and "d". So, again, in your mouth you'll

es "t" y "d". Entonces, nuevamente, en tu boca

feel that your tongue is going up to the roof

sentirás que tu lengua sube hasta el

of your mouth, "t", and then coming away again,

paladar, "t", y luego se aleja nuevamente,

"t", "t", "t", like that. "d", "d", "d". So,

"t", "t", "t", así. "d", "d", "d". Entonces,

the "t" is lighter, "d" is heavier. So, we've

la "t" es más ligera, la "d" es más pesada. Entonces,

got "t" as in "tea", "tea", "tea", and "d"

tenemos "t" como en "té", "té", "té" y "d"

as in "day", "day", "day". Okay. Good. Right,

como en "día", "día", "día". Bueno. Bien. Bien,

the next pair, so we have "ch", "ch", "ch",

el siguiente par, así que tenemos "ch", "ch", "ch"

and "j", "j", "j". And you can feel, I hope,

y "j", "j", "j". Y espero que puedas sentir

in your mouth, your tongue is in the same

en tu boca, tu lengua está en la misma

position for both of those, "ch", "ch", "ch",

posición para ambos, "ch", "ch", "ch",

"j", "j", "j". And the only difference is

"j", "j", "j". Y la única diferencia es que

the "j" is a strong sound. Okay? So, "ch" as in "cheer", "cheer", and "j", spelt with

la "j" es un sonido fuerte. ¿Bueno? Entonces, "ch" como en "cheer", "cheer" y "j", se escribe con

a "j", but this is the phonetic symbol for it, "j", "j", "j". So, we have "cheer" and

"j", pero este es el símbolo fonético , "j", "j", "j". Entonces, tenemos "animar" y

"jump", "cheer", "jump". "Ch", "ch", "ch",

"saltar", "animar", "saltar". "Ch", "ch", "ch", "

"j", "j", "j", "j". Okay? Good. And the next

j", "j", "j", "j". ¿Bueno? Bien. Y el siguiente

pair are "th", "th", "th", "th", "th", "th".

par son "th", "th", "th", "th", "th", "th".

So, for this one, if you do it, you can feel

Entonces, para este, si lo haces, puedes sentir los

your top teeth on your bottom lip, like that,

dientes superiores en el labio inferior, así,

almost as if you're going to bite your lip,

casi como si fueras a morderte el labio,

like that. "Th", "th", "th", "th", "th", "th".

así. "Th", "th", "th", "th", "th", "th". Es

You might feel it tickles a little bit, "th".

posible que sientas un poco de cosquillas, "th".

If I do that... See if you can do that as a long, continuous sound, "th", it really

Si hago eso... mira si puedes hacerlo con un sonido largo y continuo, "th", realmente me hace

tickles at my bottom lip when I do that. So,

cosquillas en el labio inferior cuando hago eso. Entonces,

"th", "th", "th", "th", "th". So, "few", "few",

"th", "th", "th", "th", "th". Entonces, "pocos", "pocos",

"few", and "view", "view", "view". Right?

"pocos" y "ver", " ver", "ver". ¿Bien?

Then we have... You might think "th", we have

Entonces tenemos... Podrías pensar "th", tenemos

"th" twice. You might like to watch my other

"th" dos veces. Quizás quieras ver mi otro

video on the two different ways of pronouncing

video sobre las dos formas diferentes de pronunciar

"th", because again, one is lighter, the other

"th", porque nuevamente, una es más ligera y la otra

is heavier. So, it's "th" as in "thing", and

es más pesada. Entonces, es "th" como en "cosa" y

"th" as in "then". "Thing", "then". So this

"th" como en "entonces". "Cosa", "entonces". Entonces este

second one is heavier, using more of your

segundo es más pesado y usa más

vocal cords. Okay? And those are the symbols

cuerdas vocales. ¿Bueno? Y esos son los símbolos

for those. So, "thing", "then", and your tongue

para aquellos. Entonces, "cosa", "entonces", y tu lengua

is touching your front teeth, top teeth. "Th",

toca tus dientes frontales, los dientes superiores. "Th",

"th", "th", "th", "th", "th" for both of those. Okay?

"th", "th", "th", "th", "th" para ambos. ¿Bueno?

And then the next pair is "sh", "sh", "sh" as in

Y luego el siguiente par es "sh", "sh", "sh" como en

"fish", and "zh", "zh", "zh" as in "pleasure",

"fish", y "zh", "zh", "zh" como en "placer",

"pleasure", "zh". So, "sh", "zh", "sh", "zh".

"placer", "zh". Entonces, "sh", "zh", "sh", "zh".

And the second one, all... All of these, the

Y el segundo, todos... Todos estos, el

first is light, the second one is heavy. "Sh", "zh", "fish", "pleasure". Okay? Good.

primero es liviano, el segundo es pesado. "Sh", "zh", "pescado", "placer". ¿Bueno? Bien.

And the next pair is "k", "k", "k" as in "key",

Y el siguiente par es "k", "k", "k" como en "key",

"k", "k". So if you can feel where your tongue

"k", "k". Entonces, si puedes sentir dónde va tu lengua

is sort of going towards the back of your

hacia la parte posterior de tu

throat, "k", "k", "k" to make the "k" sound.

garganta, "k", "k", "k" para hacer el sonido "k".

And then "g", "g", "g", much heavier, "g",

Y luego "g", "g", "g", mucho más pesado, "g",

"g", "g", but your tongue is in the same place

"g", "g", pero tu lengua está en el mismo lugar

for that. So, "k" as in "key", and "g" as in "get". Okay?

para eso. Entonces, "k" como en "key" y "g" como en "get". ¿Bueno?

And then the last pair is "s", "s", "s", "s"

Y luego el último par es "s", "s", "s", "s"

as in "soon", and "z", "z", "z" as in "zero".

como en "pronto" y "z", "z", "z" como en "cero".

So, "s", "s", "s", "s", "z", "z", "z", "z", "z",

Entonces, "s", "s", "s", "s", " z", "z", "z", "z", "z",

you'll feel your tongue is in the same position

sentirás que tu lengua está en la misma posición

for both of those. Okay. Good.

durante ambos. Bueno. Bien.

Right, so those are all the pairs, and now these are just the single ones that don't

Bien, entonces esos son todos los pares, y ahora estos son solo los únicos que no

belong in a pair. So, we have the "h" sound,

pertenecen a un par. Entonces, tenemos el sonido "h",

"h". If you "h", "h", "h", breathe on your

"h". Si usted "h", "h", "h", respira en su

hand, "h", you should be able to feel "h",

mano, "h", debería poder sentir "h",

"h", the heat from your breath, "h". So, "hot",

"h", el calor de su aliento, "h". Entonces, "caliente",

"h", "hot", "h", "h", "hot". So that's "h" as in "hot".

"h", "caliente", "h", "h", "caliente". Entonces esa es "h" como en "caliente".

And then the "l", "l", "l", you have your

Y luego la "l", "l", "l", tienes la

tongue touching the roof of your mouth, "l",

lengua tocando el paladar, "l",

"l", "l", "l", "l". So, "l" as in "lead", "lead", "lead". Okay.

"l", "l", "l", "l". Entonces, "l" como en "plomo", "plomo", "plomo". Bueno.

"M" as in "some", so you bring your lips together,

"M" como en "algunos", así que junta los labios,

"m", "m", "m", "m". "Some", "some". Okay.

"m", "m", "m", "m". "Alguno alguno". Bueno.

And then "n" as in "sun", so your lips aren't

Y luego "n" como en "sol", para que tus labios no estén

totally together, you've got "n", "n", "n"

totalmente juntos, tienes "n", "n", "n"

as in "sun", but then "sun", and you keep your lips a little bit more open, "n", "n",

como en "sol", pero luego "sol", y sigues tus labios un poco más abiertos, "n", "n",

"n", "sun", "sun". And your tongue should

"n", "sol", "sol". Y tu lengua debe

be up on the roof of your mouth, "sun", "n",

estar sobre el paladar, "sol", "n",

"n", "sun". Okay.

"n", "sol". Bueno.

And then this is "sun" with a "g" added, so "sung", "ung", "ung", "ung", "ung", "ung".

Y luego esto es "sol" con una "g" añadida, por lo que "sung", "ung", "ung", "ung", "ung", "ung".

So this is the symbol for "ng", "ng", so "ng"

Este es el símbolo de "ng", "ng", entonces "ng"

together, "sung", "ng", "ng", "ng". Okay.

juntos, "sung", "ng", "ng", "ng". Bueno.

And then "r" as in "red", "r", "red", "red".

Y luego "r" como en "rojo", "r", "rojo", "rojo".

Okay. Where your tongue will curl back into

Bueno. Donde tu lengua se curvará hacia

your mouth to make the English "r" sound.

tu boca para emitir el sonido "r" en inglés.

It's not like, for example, a French sounding

No es como, por ejemplo, un francés que suena

"r", "r", "r", "r", where your tongue is catching

"r", "r", "r", "r", donde la lengua se queda atrapada

at the back of your throat. The English "r",

en el fondo de la garganta. El inglés "r",

"r", "r". You bring your lips together, "r",

"r", "r". Juntas los labios, "r",

but curl your tongue back towards the back

pero curvas la lengua hacia la parte posterior

of your throat, "r", "r", "r", "r". "Red",

de la garganta, "r", "r", "r", "r". "Rojo",

"red", "red". You'll see another of my videos

"rojo", "rojo". Verás otro de mis videos

all about pronouncing "r" in English, so have

sobre la pronunciación de la "r" en inglés, así que échale

a look for that one if you'd like to practice

un vistazo si quieres

that. Okay. And then "w" as in "wet", "w". So, "w", "w", "w", "w", "w", "w", "w", "w".

practicarlo. Bueno. Y luego "w" como en "mojado", "w". Entonces, "w", "w", "w", "w", "w", "w", "w", "w".

Bring your lips together like that. Okay. "Wet". And finally, although it looks like

Junta tus labios así. Bueno. "Húmedo". Y finalmente, aunque parezca

a "j", this is the symbol, phonetic symbol, it's actually "y", "y", "y", "y", "y", as

una "j", este es el símbolo, símbolo fonético, en realidad es "y", "y", "y", "y", "y", como

in "yet", "yet". Okay. So, I hope that's been

en "todavía", "todavía". ". Bueno. Espero que haya sido

a helpful run-through of all the consonants

útil un repaso de todas las consonantes

that you use in English, whether it's British

que se usan en inglés, ya sea

English or American English, it's the same

inglés británico o inglés americano , son

more or less, except "r" in American English,

más o menos iguales, excepto la "r" en inglés americano,

sometimes you hear a more pronounced "r", and

a veces se escucha una más pronunciada. "r", y

also in some parts of the UK, some areas, different regions might make more of an "r"

también en algunas partes del Reino Unido, algunas áreas, diferentes regiones pueden emitir más un sonido de "r"

sound, but that is a variation within the

, pero esa es una variación dentro del

UK. So, I hope that's been helpful. So, thank

Reino Unido. Espero que haya sido útil. Así que

you for watching, and I hope to see you again soon. Bye for now.

gracias por mirar y espero volver a verte pronto. Adiós por ahora.
