Today's lesson

  • Grammar: Word order


  • Speaking: Mispronounced words
Why?

Slide 2 - Diapositive

Lisa
a book
is reading
about the universe

Slide 4 - Question de remorquage

In general, the word order in English
SVO
Subject - Verb - Object (+ extra info)

So:
Lisa - is reading - a book + about the universe

Beware
It is NOT wise to use Dutch as an example for English word order
S(ubject)V(erb)O(bject)
Lisa leest een boek
Lisa is reading a book
Hoewel Lisa een boek aan het lezen is ......
Even though Lisa is reading a book ......

Slide 10 - Vidéo

Which sounds do you think are most difficult to Dutch learners?

Slide 11 - Carte mentale

Part 2A
The consonants [=medeklinkers]

Slide 12 - Diapositive

'th' (/ϴ/ /ð/) 
Practice pronouncing ‘th’. Your tongue should touch your teeth and you should feel air flow between the tongue and teeth! 

Word list to practice: 
this, that, there, then, father, brother, feather, another, gather, thin, thief, thing, Thursday, thumb, athlete, panther, birthday, tooth, math, mouth, both. 

Slide 13 - Diapositive

'r' (/r/)
This depends on the accent you prefer.

In British English you only pronounce ‘r’ before a vowel 
eg. read, right, wrong, umbrella, brush. 

Before a consonant, you don’t pronounce the ‘r’ 
eg. heard, bored, hair.

In American English (or even Scottish English) you definitely pronounce the /r/

Slide 14 - Diapositive

Final devoicing
In English you pronounce the actual consonant at the end of a word. 

In Dutch we turn a final ‘d’ into ‘t’, as in ‘bed’. 
The English don’t do that and therefore these words don’t sound the same: 
bed  bet
bad  bat
mad  mat
dog  dock

Slide 15 - Diapositive

Part 2B
The vowels [=klinkers]


Slide 16 - Diapositive

e (/e/ vs /æ/)
Practice with the following sets of words, their pronunciation is NOT the same. 

bed  bad
head  had
men  man
end  and
beg  bag
pen  pan
said  sad
gem  jam

Slide 17 - Diapositive

u
Practice with the following sets of words, the vowel is quite different from its Dutch counterpart


but
Dutch
country
