12 分钟Hi there.
This is Harry.
And welcome back to my podcast, where I try to help you to get a better understanding of the english language so it can help you with your conversations in business, English, applying for jobs, all different aspects where you will interact with English.
So we do that by looking at idioms and phrasal verbs, english expressions, picking up on some grammar points, explaining the difference between words, and also lots of pronunciation exercises.
And that's what we're going to focus on in this particular podcast.
We're going to look at the letter D.
So today's podcast is brought to you by the letter D.
D.
Okay, so when we're going through this particular podcast, you'll also hear me referring to the letter t, and that's just to distinguish the sounds.
But the main focus is on the letter D.
Okay, so let's look at that.
So we've looked already at a, B, and C.
So logically, the next step is to the letter D as it appears in the Alphabet, and lots of different sounds depending on the letters that immediately follow D.
And also how we put the different stress depending on whether there's one syllable or more than one syllable.
When we're using the letter D, we use our voice to pronounce.
Okay, so we're using a voice.
So it's coming more from the throat.
Okay, so you feel the sound coming from your throat a little bit deeper.
But when we use the letter t, you hear t, you push the air through your teeth.
And I'm always trying to encourage students when they look at the letter t.
