hello and welcome to speak American English with Lyman Holton my name is
Lyman Holton in this lesson we're going to talk about American English
pronunciation are you ready let's begin sound 44 of the 44 sounds that make up
American English yes yes this is the last sound now remember these sounds
that we've been going through on the last 43 videos now 44 are not in any
particular order please understand that there is no particular order of the
sounds they're just an order I put them in because I have to have them in some
sort of an order to present them to you now let's get on with this one here we
have three letter combinations to make the same sound in different words what
sound do we have here could it be ear ear okay here we have F
fuck ear fear fear what is fear well fear is something that you experience
it's an emotion that happens when you're afraid of something maybe maybe you are
in fear of losing your job right maybe you experience a great deal of fear when
a bully at school was threatening to punch you and take your lunch money
CL ear click clip clear clear on a clear day you can see for miles and miles the
water you drink is probably crystal clear right nice and clear as opposed to
being cloudy or the weather being a hazy day right it's clear maybe you look into
your mother's eyes and you see that are so clear so clear looking right
because she's healthy here we have ier for the word career a career now the
Nordic career is a career is what you do for work the line of work that you are
in your profession now perhaps you work in a restaurant waiting on tables well
you have a career as a waiter or a waitress perhaps you're a cook in that
restaurant now you have a career cooking or in the business in the restaurant
business the food service business it's a career I have currently I have a
career as an ESL teacher in English as a second language teacher okay right now
that's my career you can have multiple careers I have had very different
careers in the past okay EER we have the word dear dear EER
that's talking about an animal an animal perhaps you've seen maybe you have them
in your own backyard but they're an animal usually they're bigger than the
goat they're fine boned they're actually very pretty and graceful the male's have
big rack of antlers on them like a reining deer for santa claus ready
many kinds of deer that's what this one
is deer if we put EI r with the d then we'd
be talking about a dear friend of mine oh you're such a dear person he's such a
deer right but e r e no we have interfere interfere
sounds fear fear sounds like this fear but it's different what does it mean to
interfere well that means you are stopping the progression of an act
you're stopping something from or from going very well or you're
slowing it down maybe you go to work and you make problems for other people if
you didn't make those problems probably if you didn't interfere probably things
would run much smoother at work and things would get done better and faster
interfere right interfere we look at that as a negative thing to interfere
sometimes it works out to be a good thing maybe you interfere with a bad
destard ly plot to rob a bank but because you interfered the robbery
didn't happen the money was not stolen and no one got hurt because you
interfered sincere sins here what does sincere mean hmm let's see I think a
good way to explain it would be that you are serious about something you truly
want to do something good right you sincerely want to do a good job you
sincerely love the person you're married to or your children or your parents your
friend right that means it's like saying I really love it I sincerely love it not
just what love but different things but you can pretty much change that to
really and you have a good idea with sincere means sincere sincerely that
sort of thing and that's the end of this lesson now
