How to pronounce English well?
Don't worry if you don't have a native-English accent. It's important to be able to speak clearly, so that people can understand you. However, it's almost impossible to sound exactly like a native English speaker if you are learning English as an adult in a non-English speaking country.

  1. my name is andres mejia and this is what i learned in this class.
    about the video and the activity i learn that some verbs have a different pronounciation in past that we used to think.
    every verb that past ends in a vowel sound or voiced consonant sound (B, G,L, M, N, V, Y, and Z), the –ED ending is pronunced (D) and when the regular ver ends in an unvoiced consonant sound ( K, F, P, SH, CH or X) the –ED ending is pronounced (T)

  3. My name is Adriana Ordoñez
    I learn in this class the pronuciation of regular verbs in the past. For example

    Bowed /d/ (because the regular ver ends in a vowel sound or voiced consonant sound (B,G,L,M,N,V,Y, and Z)).
    watched /t/ (because the regular ver ends in an unvoiced consonant sound (K,F,P,SH,CH or X)). and flooded (the verb ends in the consonant sounds T and D.).

    The exceptions (words use as adjetives are pronounced with /id/), for example learned /id/.

  4. I'm Juan Diego López and with the video I learned:

    -When a regular verb ends in a "ch", an "sh", a "k", an "s", a "p" or an "f" sound, the "ed" takes on a "t" sound.
    -If the verbs that end in a "t" sound are followed by another word that starts with a vowel, the "t" becomes a "d" sound

    I learned that the regular verbs in English have rulers for a correct pronunciation, when the verb end in a vowel sound or a voiced consonant the ED is pronuncied like D, when the word end in a unvoiced consonant sound the ED is pronuncied like T and ED is pronuncied ID when the word end in D or T.

  6. I'm María Camila Jaramillo and in this class I learned about the correct pronunciation of Regular Verbs:
    *When the regular verb ends in the consonant sounds d or t, I use in the -ed ending /ED/.
    *When the regular verb ends in an unvoiced consonant sound ch, sh, k, s, p, f, I use in the -ed ending /T/.
    *When the regular verb ends in a voiced consonant sound different from previous, I use in the -ed ending /D/.
    *And finally, when the regular verb is with a preposition, in American English, I pronounce it as a short form, for example, "He watched it" I pronounce "He watchdit".
