  • In this American English pronunciation video,

  • we're going to study the pronunciation

  • of the phrase 'you're welcome'.

  • This is part of a sentence study series,

  • where we look at a short, common phrase,

  • and discuss its pronunciation.

  • Let's start with the stress.

  • You're welcome.

  • What do you think is the most

  • stressed syllable in this phrase?

  • You're welcome. da-DA-da.

  • It's the middle syllable.

  • You may notice I'm reducing

  • 'you're' to 'yer', yer, you're welcome.

  • So we begin with the Y consonant,

  • and go straight into the Schwa/R sound.

  • To make the Y sound, my tongue tip is down,

  • pressing the back of the bottom front teeth.

  • What's most important, though, is that

  • the middle/front part of the tongue

  • is touching the roof of the mouth,

  • and sort of capturing this sound,

  • Y, y' yer, yer, (in my throat). You're, you're.

  • To make the R sound,

  • you've got to pull the tongue back,

  • so the tip shouldn't be touching anything.

  • You're. It really pulls back quite a bit.

  • And now, rather than the middle/front

  • touching the roof of the mouth, like it was

  • for the Y, it's the middle part of the tongue

  • that's touching the roof of the mouth,

  • about here. Yer, er, er.

  • Make sure your tongue pulls back enough.

  • If it doesn't, we miss the R sound altogether,

  • and we get yuh, yuh. Yuh welcome.

  • We want 'yer', 'yer'. You're welcome.

  • Notice how I can make that

  • without moving the jaw. Yer, yer, yer, yer.

  • I can even make it without moving my lips,

  • just the tongue. Yer, yer.

  • But actually, the lips will move

  • in this phrase because of the next sound.

  • You're w-, you're w-.

  • The next sound is the W sound,

  • so the lips will make a tight circle for that.

  • Yer, you're welcome.

  • Some people confuse the W and the V.

  • Make sure your lips are making a tight circle,

  • and there's no contact

  • with the top front teeth. You're w-

  • With this W,

  • we're starting the stressed syllable,

  • so it should have the shape

  • of a stressed syllable, a little curve up,

  • and then a falling down in pitch.

  • Wel-, wel-, wel-, you're wel-.

  • The jaw has to drop quite a bit for the vowel.

  • We-, we-.

  • The tongue tip stays down, touching here,

  • while the middle part of the tongue stretches

  • towards the roof of the mouth. Wel, wel.

  • Next we have the dark L sound.

  • We make the dark part of the dark L

  • by pulling the back part of the tongue back,

  • uhl, uhl.

  • The tongue tip stays down here, uhl.

  • I don't usually bring my tongue tip

  • up to make the L in this word.

  • You don't need it if

  • you're making the dark sound.

  • Wel, uhl, uhl Welllll-come.

  • Do you see how my tongue

  • never goes to the roof of my mouth.

  • Wel, uhl, come, Welcome.

  • I go straight from the

  • dark sound into the K sound.

  • So the back part of the tongue

  • reaches up and touches the soft palate,

  • the tip of the tongue stays where it is, here.

  • Welll-come, -come, -come, -come.

  • It's unstressed, I want to make it really fast.

  • I just go straight

  • from the K sound into the M.

  • So as I release

  • the back part of the tongue for the K,

  • my lips are coming together for the M.

  • --come, -come, -come. You're welcome. Uhhh.

  • All connected. You're welcome.

  • Even though it's two words,

  • it's just one thought group.

  • So we want everything to be linked.

  • You're welcome. Uhhh. You're welcome.

  • And now let's look at the phrase,

  • up, close and in slow motion.
