Title: How English Works - 10 - Syllabic Consonants
Description: Hi! My name is Ben. These videos and this channel are for all English learners interested in improving. 

In this series, we learn about English grammar differently than usual. There are no charts, no memorization, no confusing rules with millions of exceptions. Instead, we look at interesting aspects of English and how you can understand them. Don't worry if you fully understand. Notice these while you're immersing in English, and it'll all make sense with time.

I work for a language company called Refold (https://refold.link/benslanguagelab).
Caption: hi everybody my name is Ben and you&#39;re watching how English works these are not your typical grammar or English lessons we don&#39;t do any drills there&#39;s no charts and there&#39;s definitely not any memorization my goal is to help you to better understand how English works and how to understand the things that we English speakers do and say I&#39;m noticing my camera looks a little crooked I think that&#39;s better um and today oh and today I want to talk about one of my favorite Concepts and one of the my favorite things about spoken English which is Copic consonant um we&#39;ve talked a little bit about this before but I want to go into it so that you can better notice it and hear it and understand it when you come across it in English because it&#39;s actually really common um and it can be a bit weird when you&#39;re listening and you feel like things are missing or especially if you&#39;re at the point where you&#39;re trying to speak it can be really hard to do so let&#39;s jump into it first I&#39;m feel like I&#39;m yeah no never mind first let&#39;s talk about the different words here so cobic and consonant so let&#39;s start with the word consonant the second one what is a consonant well a consonant is not a vowel and that&#39;s basically the definition um but if we think about about our mouths vowel sounds are more open they have a flowing sound you can sing them right a right so A E I O and U are the written vowels but when you write them out you often get vowel sounds right so if we look at the word s right we have i s a b con consant right there&#39;s actually an uh and uh there so there&#39;s um those are our vowel sounds it&#39;s a little different than vowel written vowels um but everything else is a consonant some kind of blockage in your speaking right so anything where there&#39;s like something getting in the way like a sh right your tongue is getting in the way of the sound it&#39;s coming out sort of as a hissing noise sh is a consonant C is a consonant m is a consonant anything that is has a blockage of that sound right even is a consonant because it&#39;s in the way of that all right so anything that you can&#39;t really sing in that same way is a consonant um some might have voicing right so Z is still a consonant it&#39;s buzzing um and you can feel it buzzing in your throat but it&#39;s not an open vowel sound ye um so those are vowels and consonants right so what&#39;s a syllable though or a cobic right it comes from the word syllable we&#39;ve talked about this before for sure and that&#39;s the breaking down of a word into individual chunks um with Sil or Sil a b consonant right vow there&#39;s different syllables there right 1 two 3 that&#39;s not a 1 2 3 1 two 3 one 2 etc etc um all words all languages have syllables it&#39;s like a it&#39;s a fun Al thing um that we do but the way that you make syllables can be different most languages and most of the time use vowel sounds sounds as the center of a of a syllable so if you break down let&#39;s break down this first one here this s right we have the one sound which is s we have another vowel sound which is an i and then we end with an l sound right so we have S um that&#39;s what that&#39;s how you write this in the IPA s sill right and actually we even have the word sill in English whoops sill like window s or yeah window cell um you can also add another sound in here right and make it still right that is still but that is still um just one syllable right it has more sounds but it&#39;s one syllable because most of the time it&#39;s based around this individual what&#39;s called the nucleus or core of the syllable right so this I is the core of the of the syllable now what happens with a so actually this core is also called syllabic right it it creates the syllable right it&#39;s the syllabic sound most of the time we use vowels right still sill um Mill or pen right there&#39;s an e there that&#39;s a vowel sound however you don&#39;t always have to do that sometimes you can have a a consonant be that that uh cobic piece so um a good example if you&#39;ve ever gone to Britain or a lot of places you might have seen Fish N Chips right so these are some normal regular um s syllables fish has f is right so f i sh three sounds fish chips has CH which is a sort of accommodation sound I chips right fish chips but what is this n doing cuz there&#39;s actually not an un it&#39;s not fish un chips or fish in chips although you can say fish in chips but the what is often said is fish in Fish and Chips fishing chips whoa did you hear that that&#39;s thunder thunder is the thunder is very loud right now um but what we have here is a whole syllable right it&#39;s a whole separate piece but there&#39;s no vowel sound instead the N is functioning as the the the root the core of that syllable fish and chips fish and chips it&#39;s right it&#39;s not fish fish fish you can&#39;t even say fishing it&#39;s just fish and chips fish and chips right I&#39;m saying that a lot of times I should stop now another example is um when you take the word something something and it becomes more like something right so I like this example because you actually just say s and so that&#39;s the syllable break something right something that&#39;s the word something something s do it with me something yeah exactly it&#39;s weird right it&#39;s weird to think that this entire word gets broken down into something or can be not always right and that&#39;s one thing that&#39;s big about this in English is that it&#39;s there&#39;s a lot of times that you don&#39;t have to say a syllabic consonant right because this word is and you could say fish and chips fish and chips um but in actual like spoken English it&#39;s very common to reduce things to the point of just keeping it as the this like this nucleus sound right and so that&#39;s why fish and chips um has an N or go go wi that&#39;s that&#39;s a whole vowel sound um but like the word in can also become an N right I&#39;m I&#39;m inside I&#39;m inside is fine to say like in no normal speech might be hard to hear because it&#39;s I&#39;m inside like I&#39;m inside doesn&#39;t really like sound different than I&#39;m inside but you could totally hear things like that in spoken English where entire like Words become just n right um so and in are there any other words that become just n and in um I&#39;m sure there are but I can&#39;t really think of any off the top of my head so let&#39;s quickly look at the different sounds that can become Copic right because not everything can be right T is never cobic yeah right just double checking T is not a cobic it&#39;s not possible Right in English um the ones that are can be a an N like we just saw an M um an NG kind of U that one&#39;s a bit not not as much right I wouldn&#39;t say that as much and then an l sound so I&#39;ll make a capital so you can easily tell um but there&#39;s also I think also some wow the Thunder is very strong um I think those those are the main ones uh this one is the least common um of the three and this one is probably the they&#39;re both pretty common actually not really sure um are there any others I&#39;m missing I don&#39;t think so let&#39;s let&#39;s look at some examples so we already saw some for n and M another good example for m is rhythm right you can actually say r right so which is RM like that which can be pronounced r i which is like this and then M Rhythm and you sort of get this split there RM you can&#39;t say rythm with like a full H sound that&#39;s totally fine but you can also hear this is my example um another great one is words ending in sort of like an sound right so bottle bot so bottle is pretty common to hear especially in American English bottle bottle um which is b a d is sort of this tapped D sound bottle and then a full-on sound oops this is a marking the the whole sound this is a fancy way of writing sounds but you&#39;re listen to my voice it&#39;s easier to understand so this is a bottle and you can tell that it&#39;s a salvic consonant because when I say my tongue actually doesn&#39;t remove itself from the top of my mouth botle bottle doesn&#39;t my tongue stays from the DU to the O so there&#39;s no vowel sound right I&#39;m not opening it you can say bottle bottle if you want or you can also hear bottle or bot anything like there&#39;s a lot of different pronunciations of every word in English but in my accent bottle is very very common um huddle puddle there&#39;s so many words that end in this sort of dull thing um that you might hear and that&#39;s kind of the one of the reasons I wanted to bring this uh concept up is because this ending is really really common um also words like that right common can become Copic I don&#39;t I don&#39;t think I say it like that I think I say common common with a full vowel sound um but you can definitely hear some people say common common um the common good there&#39;s plenty of different places where you can hear these like very weak weakened sounds so I&#39;m going to leave it there because I just wanted to sort of give you an overview of this and hopefully explain sort of what&#39;s Happening where there&#39;s this like sound that sounds like it&#39;s it&#39;s forgotten like there&#39;s something missing almost um which to us is very normal and so you should also get used to it because it&#39;s going to be pretty um helpful for you to be able to hear and to produce the weather is crazy anyways um that&#39;s been everything for this video I hope that you enjoyed if you did make sure to leave a like and a comment below with what you enjoyed what you learned and I&#39;ll see you again in another episode have a good one bye
