Long English words starting with the letter n. In English. And the last exercise

Hi, friend! For a long time you and I did not make out the sounds of the English language. We decided to improve, because work on pronunciation is very important.

Why work on your pronunciation

Russian sound | n | It is formed like this: you bring the front of the tongue to the back of the teeth and gums, lowering the tip of the tongue down. So a barrier is formed, the air has nowhere to go - and it exits through the nose.

In the same position you pronounce the sound | d |, only there the air still breaks through the barrier and a noisy sound is obtained, similar to an exhaust. Therefore, a person with a runny nose has a word night can become a word daughter.

Now say the word night and feel where the tongue is located. This understanding will help you easily change the position to the one you need for the English sound.

The English sound is pronounced exactly according to the same principle: a barrier - the air comes out through the nose. But the language creates a barrier in another place - in the same place as for the English sound | d |. Do you remember exactly where? That's right, in the alveoli (tubercles behind the teeth).

Again say the word night, but now press the tip of the tongue to the most convex part of the alveoli at a right angle. Happened?

Learning the correct pronunciation of even such a seemingly Russian sound is necessary not just because of tediousness or perfectionism. In a good way, in order to speak English, you must “rebuild” the entire articulatory apparatus, and practicing each, even simple, sound will help in pronouncing others, more complex ones.

Second difference: because of the different position of the tongue when you speak English | n |, a stream of air passes through the nose more freely. Therefore, the English sound becomes more sonorous and prolonged - as if "more vowel".

Third difference: I repeat about it from article to article. English consonants don't soften before vowels like ours | and |. Therefore, in Russian ninja sound | n | soft, and in English ninja- solid.

Got it? Now let's practice.

English words with sound | n |

We put the speech apparatus in the right position - the tip of the tongue is at a right angle to the alveoli, the air passes through the nose, the sound is more sonorous - and we begin the training. Don't forget that in words like need the sound will still be solid.

Patter with English sound | n |

Let's complicate the task with tongue twisters. For convenience, the desired sound is highlighted in bold.

Sound | ŋ | in English: characteristic

Pronounced in words song, long, England. With this sound it is already more difficult: it has no analogue in Russian. To get started, watch the video where | n | and | ŋ |. And then we'll figure out where the different sounds come from.

Let's start with the fact that sound | ŋ | never happens at the beginning of a word - only in the middle or end. The sound does not have "its own" letter. It is denoted by the letter N, but only when it comes before the letters | k | or | g | - bank, king. Note that in some words the sounds | g | – | k | not pronounced (so ng), and in some they are pronounced (E n gland). Therefore, it is better to look at the transcription of each word.

This time we will compare the sound not with the Russian version, but with the English one | n |, which they just learned to pronounce.

First explanation: sound | ŋ | - also nasal. Differences between sounds | n | and | ŋ | are located at the site of the barrier. When pronouncing a sound | n | the tongue rests on the alveoli. When pronouncing | ŋ | the tongue rests against the base of the lower teeth, the soft palate is lowered and air passes through the nasal cavity.

Second explanation: to make it clearer, compare | ŋ | with Russian sound | g | or with its almost complete English counterpart - sound | g | (Yes, this is the rare case when our sounds are almost identical).

So, first make a sound | g |, for example, say "woof-woof" in honor of the coming year of the dog. To create this sound, the air broke through the barrier in your vocal apparatus, and a noisy sound came out. Now try to say the sound | g |, but do not break the barrier, but let the air out through the nose. So you get the sound | ŋ |.

Third explanation: if all the same sound | ŋ | If it doesn’t work, then I’ll share another life hack. Start pronouncing the Russian sound | m | and gradually open your mouth, but without removing your tongue from the base of the lower teeth. Happened?

And the last hack: try taking a deep breath through your nose with your mouth open. Now, keeping this way of speech organs, give a voice, exhaling air through the nose. Again, you should get the right sound.

Well, did you manage to figure it out? Then let's hone the skill in words.

And the last exercise

To fix the result, I propose to say a pair of words with sounds | n | and | ŋ |. Remember everything you learned today. Go!

Happened? Congratulations! Now it remains to learn the correct pronunciation of these sounds during fluent speech. The only way is practice, practice, practice. So we suggest that you save our article and periodically repeat the workshop.

See you!

We had 12 sounds left. So, now there are only 10 left. We will analyze them in the following articles. We do not say goodbye!

English is one of the most popular languages worldwide. Probably, there is no corner on our planet where there would be no people speaking it. Even taking into account the fact that today it occupies the third place in the system of international means of communication, it has not lost its significance and prevalence over the years.

The alphabet of this language is based on the Latin alphabet. Today it has 26 letters. If we turn to history, then earlier - back in the 19th century, 1 more character was presented. It was the "&" sign.

As in the Russian alphabet, English letters are divided into:

vowels - 5;
consonants - 21.

The phonetic feature of consonants is that in some words, when merged with certain letters, they are not readable and in such cases are called "silent".

Today we will talk a little about the letter "Bb". It is the first consonant in the English alphabet and a full-fledged equivalent of the Russian "Bb". If we turn to transcription, then it looks like this:. AT B words there are lexemes with the same transcription, but different in terms of spelling and translation. The only thing that unites them is the same pronunciation. These include the verb to be - to be, a bee - a bee.

Many adults, not to mention children, sometimes confuse the spelling of lowercase "b" and "d". Learning a foreign language with children always requires a certain approach. Children memorize rules and new words through associations and games. Kids should always be interested, they should be literally immersed in the educational process. A fairy tale can help you remember how these letters are written.

Once upon a time there were Bee and Dee. They had carts. Bee always rolled it in front of her, and Dee - behind. The letters were afraid to hurt their friends and always gave signals when someone appeared nearby. Since Bee had a wheelbarrow in front, she said loudly: “He who is in front - take care of your legs! Bi-bi-bi!". Letter Dee warned others: “Don’t come from behind! Dee-dee-dee!"

If you turn to the dictionary, then the letter "Bb" in English language there are a lot of lexemes. Of course, we will not list them all here, but we will cite the most frequently used words with translation.
