Practice Your English Pronunciation /f/ vs /v/ Sounds | Course #12

In this video, I'm going to focus on two consonant sounds.

在这段视频中，我将重点关注两个辅音。

The sounds /f/ and /v/.

声音 /f/ 和 /v/。

So the ‘f’ sound and the ‘v’ sound.

They may sound similar but they are actually quite different.

它们听起来可能很相似，但实际上却截然不同。

And they are very important sounds in the English language

它们在英语中是非常重要的发音，

so I really want you to be able to hear the difference

所以我真的希望你能够听到

and pronounce them correctly.

Let's take two example words.

让我们举两个例子。

The first word is the word ‘fan’.

第一个字是‘扇’字。

Can you hear the /f/ sound?

你能听到/f/的声音吗？

‘fan’

'fan'

The second word is ‘van’.

第二个词是'van'。

Can you hear the /v/ sound this time?

这次你能听到/v/的声音吗？

‘van’.

‘货车’。

So ‘fan’ and ‘van’.

所以“风扇”和“货车”。

I know guys.

我知道伙计们。

They sound really similar, but they are different.

Before learning about the /f/ and /v/ sounds in English,

在学习英语中的 /f/ 和 /v/ 发音之前，

you need to focus on the IPA spelling.

您需要关注 IPA 拼写。

It's very useful.

这非常有用。

You can also watch how I move my mouth, and obviously you need to repeat after me in this video.

你也可以看我如何动嘴，显然你需要在这个视频中跟着我重复。

I know you can make those sounds guys so let's do it together now.

我知道你们可以发出这些声音，所以现在让我们一起做吧。

First, let's produce the /f/sound in English.

首先，让我们用英语发出/f/声音。

What you're going to do is - you're not going to use your voice.

你要做的是——你不会使用你的声音。

It's a voiceless sound so no vibration in your throat.

这是无声的声音，所以喉咙里没有振动。

You are going to place your teeth against your bottom lip

您将把牙齿抵住下唇

and you're going to push out some air through your teeth and your bottom lip.

，然后通过牙齿和下唇排出一些空气。

So, /f/.

所以，/f/。

Okay, please watch my mouth and repeat after me.

好的，请注意我的嘴，跟着我重复一遍。

As for the/v/sound, it's exactly the same as the/f/sound.

至于/v/声音，与/f/声音完全一样。

But this time, you are going to use your voice.

但这一次，你将使用你的声音。

It's a voiced sound so you are going to feel some vibration.

这是一种浊音，因此您会感觉到一些振动。

Okay
