That is a fact. Speakers of international English (the variety people use as a lingua franca) are not expected to pronounce every single sound in the English language. If you are curious about the sound you may be allowed to dispense with take a listen to this podcast.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 3_16.mp3Sun, 04 Mar 12 00:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 3.16 International EnglishEOI LAREDOIf you are one of those who still pronounce PILPOL you may want to check out this episode. If you are not, you may still find it interesting to learn about native speakers who also have difficulty pronouncing APPLE.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 3_15.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 3.15 Pl, bl and clEOI LAREDOWe have gone over the vowel sound in words such as big, think or lick. This time we are going to center on terms like private, village and garage (in which there is no "ay" sequence). How many of you pronounce pirate correctlyhttp://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 3_14.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 3.14 Private, village idiot and womenEOI LAREDO http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 3_13.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 3.13 ContractionsEOI LAREDOA thousand mile journey begins with one step. As far as pronunciation goes that means every learner should start improving their pronunciation by producing ONE English sound that does not exist in their mother tongue. The moment one starts to pronounce that new sound the first step has been taken.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 3_12.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 3.12 The first stepEOI LAREDOThe vowel in the word WOLF does not sound like a Spanish O at all. Find out how it should be pronounced in English in this podcast.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 3_11.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 3.11 WolfEOI LAREDOIt comes late and it s not very well recorded but, hey, I ve been busy. Anyhow, this time I try to let you know that movies can be educational.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica_Fonetica_3_10.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 3.10 MoviesEOI LAREDOThis time we go over the three pronunciation problems every Spanish student of English should master before getting to the intermediate level.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 3_9.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 3.9 My three objectivesEOI LAREDOSome slangy (uneducated) pronunciations of the TH-sounds confuse English students. It is a fact that some native speakers sometimes say in DA house. In certain varieties of Jamaican and Indian English, for instance, it is not unusual for speakers to mix up THE and DE or THAT and DAT. However, the difference is crystal clear in standard English. In this podcast we will learn to say THEY and DAY.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 3_8.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 3.8. The TH-sounds (think & mother) EOI LAREDOThe word banana has two different vowel sounds. In this episode we are going to center on the very first one: our old friend the schwa.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 3_7.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 3.7. Pretonic schwaEOI LAREDO This time we turn to the concept of tone (or something we might agree to understand by that word). In Linguistitcs the term tone usually refers to the use of pitch in order to distinguish meaning. In this podcast, however, we use it to define the quality (deep or more high-pitched) of your voice when you speak a different language. Just think of a native speaker of Mandarin and a German speaker. Do their voices sound similarhttp://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 3_6.mp3Thu, 11 Aug 11 00:00:00 +0200Patetica Fonetica 3.6 The tone of a languageEOI LAREDO Yes. You may not believe it but there are two different L-sounds in English. One is virtually the same as the Spanish L. The other one is more Catalan. It is called the velar L.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 3_5.mp3Tue, 11 Jan 11 00:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 3.5 The two L-sounds in EnglishEOI LAREDOWhenever they try to pronounce the word ACTION most beginners tend to say AKSION instead of AK-SH-N. This consontant cluster (K-SH) is not an exception in a language in which ACTUALLY and FICTION are such common terms.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 3_4.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 3.4. English actuallyEOI LAREDOSometimes one word may be pronounced in two different ways by speakers of different dialects. Nothing wrong with that. After all, that s one of the reasons why dialects exist... However there are times when we find two different pronunciations within the same dialect. This is a different situation. For example, Spanish speakers pronounce "abismo" with a voiced S. Many prefer a voiceless S. It all comes down to a personal choice or a physiological constraints... The same thing happens in English in words like "before".http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 3_3.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 3.3. How should we pronounce before It dependsEOI LAREDOSaying "gonna" or "lemme" is only acceptable when you speak fast. As we will see in this podcast, some students seem to believe that the use of "gonna" makes them sound cool. Sometimes that is the case. Sometimes it is not.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 3_2.mp3Thu, 10 Nov 11 00:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 3.2. Gonna, kinda, musta, lemme, gimme, etc.EOI LAREDOStudents sometimes are bent on pronouncing every single sound in every single letter. Natural pronunciation may make it hard to articulate certain sequences. We will see that it is perfectly acceptable to say "DENTISSS" instead of "DENTISTS". Remember Ross Geller, the character from "Friends". He was characterized as a cultured young man who tended to overpronounce words. In the series this was shown to be slightly annoying.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 3_1.mp3Sun, 10 Apr 11 00:00:00 +0200Patetica Fonetica 3.1. Dentists, eighth and other tongue twistersEOI LAREDOHave you ever noticed how "this year" is sometimes pronounced "thiSH year" Ever wondered why that happens The answer is in this brand new podcast.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 2_13.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 2.13. PalatalizationEOI LAREDOEvery language has words that sound the same. For the most part, Spanish words such as "callado" and "cayado" sound the same. The old LL-sound is all but extinct now. "Hola" and "ola" offer a more typical example of the same phenomenon. In English there are countless homophones. We should be aware of them so that we do not try and make nonexistent differences.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 2_12.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 2.12. HomophonesEOI LAREDOIn this second part we discuss three reasons for not pronouncing everything.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 2_11.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 2.11. Things that are not pronounced. Part 2EOI LAREDOSome students are obsessed with pronouncing everything they see or everything they hear. The truth is English spelling offers plenty of examples of letters that we are NOT supposed to pronounce. There are also many cases in which natural diction calls for some degree of sloppiness.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 2_10.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 2.10. Things that are not pronounced. Part 1EOI LAREDOEnglish is full of consonants. This presents something of a challenge to those native speakers of Spanish who, in their own mother tongue, find it difficult to pronounce terms as innocent as "monstruo", "taxi" or "alumna".http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 2_9.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 2.9 Those consonants...EOI LAREDOOur "Did you know" section deals with a case that should give us all some food for thought. Speakers can be rather narrow-minded when it comes to (so-called) "acceptable" pronunciation. That attitude becomes clear when one compares opinions about the same kind of pronunciation. We will see that a particular articulatory feature in Italy is often considered to be the consequence of a speech impediment both in Spain and the UK.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 2_8.mp3Tue, 02 Mar 10 00:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 2.8. A speech impedimentEOI LAREDOA list of common mistakes is commented on. This is the podcast Quintilian would have recorded.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 2_7.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 2.7: A list of typical errorsEOI LAREDO In this new installment we revisit some aspects of the multifaceted [r] sound and its avatars.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 2_6.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 2.6: The [r] soundEOI LAREDOSurfing, cooking and knitting have something in common: their final sound is a velar n. This podcast will make us aware of this phoneme.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 2_5.mp3Mon, 01 Nov 10 00:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 2.5: The velar nEOI LAREDOThis time we discuss an interesting combination: that of a "non-sound" (the glottal stop) and a real sound (syllabic [n]). In order to pronounce it we will have to let our air come out through our nostrils but the practice is worth the effort. Our English will become faster and remarkably more natural.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 2_4.mp3Thu, 12 Nov 09 00:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 2.4. Britain, certain, importantEOI LAREDOThis time we revisit the old tense/lax opposition. Hopefully you will realize that you can already pronounce the two "u" sounds in English, that is, the vowels that make it possible to tell the difference between "fool" and "full".

P.S. I was really tired when I recorded this podcast. I hope you can excuse that.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 2_3.mp3Thu, 12 Feb 09 00:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 2.3. A good book.EOI LAREDOIn this podcast we will listen to the director of our school. The conversation was recorded last summer, just before the June exams, when many students were understandably worried about their oral tests.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 2_2.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 2.2. A conversation with Marta MiguelEOI LAREDOThis new podcast you will listen to opinions of students and teachers who have coped with pronunciation-related challenges and now look back on the progress made over the last few months. Our section "Did you know" deals with a mysterious possibility of bilingualism.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 2_1.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica 2.1. Albert of Monaco.EOI LAREDOIn this podcast you will be given some pointers that will help you pronounce the key words in any conversation about second-hand clothes and personal appearance in one of the most interesting areas in Manhattan. A Spanish teacher of English will also remind us all that we should imitate native speakers and interact with them if we want our English to sound really well.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica ENG 22.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica ENG 22: Village, Image, VintageEOI LAREDO In this podcast you will listen to an interview with a native speaker of British English as well as a technical discussion concerning the schwa. You will also have the chance to experience the very first broadcast of Pronunciation News.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica ENG 21.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica ENG 21: BOTTLE does not workEOI LAREDOThis first edition of Patetica Fonetica in English contains brand new features such as an interview with a German teacher and a real question posed by a real student about a pronunciation problem.

In future podcasts technical discussions will be handled in the same old easy-going fashion you all have come to like. I will also resort to everyday stories so that you can relate to real life pronunciation difficulties.

Welcome to this revamped, streamlined version of your favorite podcast!http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica ENG 20.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica ENG 20: Do not innovate. Imitate.EOI LAREDOAlguien dijo una vez que no se puede pedir coherencia a un pais donde Kirk DUGLAS es el padre de Michael DAGLAS. La pronunciacion de ese apellido (por otra parte falso pues el verdadero nombre de Kirk Douglas es Issur Danielovitch Demsky) demuestra las incongruencias que genera la la pronunciacion de nombres extranjeros. Sin embargo se da el caso de que el sonido en cuestion, la primera vocal de "Douglas", es particularmente dificil de articular para los hablantes de castellano, quienes tienden a pronunciar una "o" en "comfortable" pero prefieren una "a" en "come". En este podcast averiguaremos algun truco para pronunciar la vocal como es debido.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica 19.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica ESP 19: Come here my loveEOI LAREDONo son pocos los estudiantes de ingles que tienen dificultades para diferenciar entre el dialecto normativo britanico y el americano. Las diferencias entre esas dos variantes son comparables a las que distinguen el castellano de Espana y el de Mejico. Existen diferencias de vocabulario y sintaxis pero tambien de pronunciacion. Para hablar un ingles coherente conviene tener presente estas peculiaridades. No es recomendable comenzar una frase con acento britanico y terminarla hablando americano.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica ESP 18.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica ESP 18: UK & USEOI LAREDOPor misteriosas razones, ciertas palabras de uso comun en ingles suelen pronunciarse de un modo llamativamente distinto del original. Me refiero a palabras como "mountain", "chocolate" o "women". En este (largo) podcast repasaremos algunos de estos terminos y, de paso, comentaremos las peculiaridades de algunos anuncios televisivos que recurren a pronunciaciones bastante mas creativas que sensatas.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica ESP 17.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica ESP 17: The blacklistEOI LAREDOPronunciar con correccion todas y cada una de las palabras de una frase como si se enunciaran por separado puede resultar "robotico". Para "humanizar" ese modo de hablar hay que prestar atencion a las deformaciones que sufren los inicios y finales de palabra en el discurso natural. En este podcast aprenderemos que lo mas normal en ingles es comerse la "h" de "does he love me". Descubriremos tambien que cuando dos sonidos deben pronunciarse uno detras de otro a veces ocurre que el mas debil desaparece pero en otras ocasiones el que no se pronuncia es el que mas cuesta. En fonetica, esta la ley del minimo esfuerzo se llama asimilacion.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica ESP 16.mp3Thu, 03 Sep 09 00:00:00 +0200Patetica Fonetica ESP 16: El proceso de asimilacionEOI LAREDOSi al hablar ingles pronunciamos la unica t que tiene el castellano, no ponemos en peligro la comunicacion. Sin embargo, es importante reconocer los tres alofonos que tiene en ingles el fonema [t]. De ese modo nos resultara mas facil entender palabras tan sencillas como "water", que dependiendo del dialecto, pueden sonar llamativamente distintas.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica ESP 15.mp3Tue, 03 Feb 09 00:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica ESP 15: los tres alofonos de [t]EOI LAREDOPara casi todos los estudiantes de lenguas resulta evidente que al hablar ingles debe decirse London en lugar de Londres. Menos obvio suele parecer las pronunciaciones inglesas de toponimos hispanos (Zaragoza) o de origen hispano (San Francisco). En este podcast aprenderemos por que donde uno fuere conviene hacer lo que viere.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica ESP 14.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica ESP 14: ExotoponimosEOI LAREDOA menudo pasamos por alto la pronunciacion correcta de la primera consonante de palabras como "jungle" o "job". Sin embargo puede ser importante no confundirla con el primer sonido de palabras como "university" o "young". Como ocurre en tantos casos la diferencia es distintiva.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica ESP 13.mp3Mon, 02 Nov 09 00:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica ESP 13: You are a JewEOI LAREDOPara aprender a pronunciar correctamente una lengua suele ser importante ser capaz de reconocer y reproducir sonidos ajenos a la lengua materna. Sin embargo, como veremos en este podcast, a veces tambien es necesario aprender a NO pronunciar sonidos que no existen en la lengua de estudio. Un buen ejemplo es el caso de la b fricativa del castellano.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica ESP 12.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica ESP 12: La b fricativa del castellanoEOI LAREDO A estas alturas del siglo XXI casi todo el mundo dice "Yeims" cuando lee "James". Sin embargo el problema de la onomastica en lenguas extranjeras no esta del todo resuelto. En ciertas ocasiones los medios de comunicacion solo contribuyen a aumentar la confusion de los ciudadanos. Como se deben pronunciar los nombres de Michael Schumacher o Mariah Carey cuando hablamos castellano Como se dice Graham en ingles Las respuestas te esperan en este undecimo podcast.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica ESP 11.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica ESP 11: Los nombres propios extranjerosEOI LAREDO En esta ocasion no vamos a centrarnos en ningun sonido en concreto sino en la pronunciacion de las secuencias que unen dos palabras.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica ESP 10.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica ESP 10: secuencias de palabrasEOI LAREDOA todos los estudiantes de ingles que tienen el castellano, el italiano o el frances como lengua materna les trae de cabeza la diferencia entre palabras como "leak" y "lick" o "seen" y "sin". En este podcast veremos un hecho paradojico: aunque resulta complicado detectar esa diferencia en ingles no suele haber problemas para notarla en castellano.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica ESP 9.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica ESP 9: i tensa / i laxaEOI LAREDO Esta octava entrega esta dedicada a la pronunciacion de los plurales y los pasados regulares. Veremos que los dos morfemas, "-(e)d y "-(e)s", siguen un patron analogo.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica ESP 8.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica ESP 8: Plurales y pasados regularesEOI LAREDODe entre las 12 vocales del ingles estandar destaca una muy discreta pero casi ubicua: la sheva. Su pronunciacion apenas tiene valor fonologico. Sin embargo el ingles no puede sonar natural si esta vocal se omite.http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica ESP 7.mp3Wed, 12 Nov 08 00:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica ESP 7: La sheva (a.k.a. schwa)EOI LAREDOLa oposicion entre los sonidos que representa la letra "s" en las palabras "usual" y "sure" apenas tiene valor fonologico. Aun asi vamos a ver en este podcast que para la correcta pronunciacion (y evitar cualquier confusion) conviene conocer la diferencia. En contra de lo que podria creerse, "television" no rima con "mission".http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica ESP 6.mp3Mon, 12 May 08 00:00:00 +0200Patetica Fonetica ESP 6: Confusion vs. ConfucianEOI LAREDOEn este quinto podcast abordamos el caso concreto de dos fonemas ingleses: [s] y [z], que son responsables de la diferencia entre pares de palabras como "eyes" y "ice"; "plays" y "place" o "loose" y "lose".http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica ESP 5.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetita Fonetica ESP 5: [s] y [z]EOI LAREDO Ser consciente de la diferencia entre un sonido sonoro y otro sordo es fundamental para evitar la confusion de pares minimos como "very" y "ferry" y para poder pronunciar con correccion secuencias tan frecuentes como el pasado de los verbos regulares ("played", "worked", "decided", etc.). En este cuarto podcast aprenderemos en que consiste esa diferencia y por que debemos cuidar la diccion en las estaciones de tren. http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica ESP 4.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica ESP 4: Sordo y sonoroEOI LAREDO Este tercer podcast explica los tres rasgos caracteristicos de la pronunciacion inglesa de los hablantes nativos de castellano. Nos referimos a:
a) los problemas para pronunciar la uve ("bery" important); b) el fonema inicial de las palabras "she" y "sugar"; y c) la insercion de la vocal epentetica "e" (Wall "Estreet").http://www.eoilaredo.org/archivos/Patetica Fonetica ESP 3.mp3Thu, 01 Jan 70 01:00:00 +0100Patetica Fonetica ESP 3: Tres vicios tipicos de los hispanoparlantesEOI LAREDOEn este segundo podcast se presentan los conceptos fundamentales de fonema y alofono.
