Intro to Language Analysis: Phonetics Pt 1

Today we begin our exploration of language and language learning with a deep dive into the sounds of language. How is sound produced, and what do all the fun symbols of the IPA mean? If you’re trying to learn a new language and struggling with pronunciation, buckle up as we learn about the phonetics of consonants.

I just want to go to school where you're the professor. I'm self-taught language activist. My language is dormant as well. I am going to school to learn linguistics bc after 10 years I've gotten nowhere being an auto-didact. Can we talk? Lol

This entire channel is so stupidly well done and high quality. You have NO IDEA, as a fellow northwesterner, how nice it is to have your content so i can listen to the stuff i try to study instead of spending all my time studying. I hope you have a grand ol life, my fine fellow

I would love to see a video on SENĆOŦEN! A lot of the resources come from Timothy Montler, and go in depth, that I’m still learning to understand. Good luck with this series because it has already been so helpful for me!

I think you should really work on your pharyngeals, also I’m used to hearing velar and velum as /vilɚ/ and /viləm/ respectively, but I’m just gonna chalk that up to dialectal differences. Other than those small grievances, I’m excited to see what else your channel has to offer as more content comes out. Maybe you could give a tour of all the indigenous American languages that feature pharyngeals, I’ve done a little research, but it’d be a real treat to see a deep dive on the coolest sounds we don’t often get to hear. God bless and keep doing what you’re doing.

You can do a case study on the indigenous languages of the northern gulf of Mexico. A lot of these languages are even less known by the general public. I would love if you study about Yuchi, Timucua, Tunica, Natchez Chitimaca, Atakapa, Biloxi, Tonkawa, Cotoname, Coahuilteco, and the Comecrudan languages. There are also other less documented languages there.

What made you pick the languages that you studied? Were those the most feasible or was there something else that drew you to them?

I find it funny how you upload a video on learning languages as I’m beginning to try n learn French

I'm sure you can relate to how annoying it is finding an online resource for your target language that doesn't use IPA but "the a in father"

I'm so excited to see so many people in my demographics learning and sharing linguistics out of their own interests!
