@wordsatwork: Why do so many English speakers seem to have trouble with the name "José?" Let's learn more about Spanish and English's phonotactics! #language #spanish #english #español #ingles #LearnOnTikTok #DidYouKnow #interesting #pronunciation #linguistics
Okay but also — English speaking kids being taught “No way José” and that “way” rhymes with “José” probably doesn’t help

OMG! So that's why you guys pronounce "café" and "ballet" as /cafei/ and /balei/ 😲

Jorge Medina Garc389 :
So it's the same reason why a lot of Spanish speakers have problems saying "stop" and say "estop"

Chaotic Yorùbá goddess :
In Yorùbá, a repair tactic is adding an "i" sound at the end of an English word if it ends in a consonant because our language doesn't permit for words to end in a consonant or to cluster.

Also...Mexican Spanish. you're forgetting there is loads of Spanish speakers that barely pronounce the J like that. in fact 2 generation Mexican Americans often pronounce the j like an h totally

kowabunga :
Most native Spanish speakers (all the Spanish-speaking countries from Latin America) don't pronounce the letter 'J' like that either. They pronounce it like the English sound for 'H'.

I can't for the life in me say the "rl" English sounds decently. Like, there's such basic words with it, like "girl" or "world how I'm supposed to communicate 💀

In Colombian Spanish the j is /h/ rather than /x/.

I was gonna agree until he butchered the word and said "ejhgh-tómago" instead of "eStómago". 😩

Yup! The only exceptions are interjections like “meh”, “bleh”, “eh”, and “yeh”

Daddy doot :
What about in words like aorta and phobia that end in “a”. I find this so fascinating but I’m having trouble recognizing how this fits into that rule in English since they end in a short u sound /ŭ/

PlantBasedBoy 🔻 :
So is this is why it’s uncomfortable using a foreign pronunciation mid english sentence? Like I speak french, but when I speak it I pronounce stuff like my name differently

You sound perfectly able to pronounce the S in "stomach." Why not pronounce the S in "estómago"?

lots of english accents seems to forego that rule about ending a syllable in a short vowel, for example i’m from Manchester, and i say words like “happy” with a short “ih” sound rather than the “ee”
