β β WHAT THIS VIDEO IS ABOUTβ β
This video teaches you all about syllables in English. You learn what a syllable is and how to identify syllables in words, using three different methods: the hand-chin method, the clapping method and - my favourite one - the robot voice method! Syllables consist of exactly one vowel sound and so it is important not to confuse sounds and letters. Then we are going to have a look at examples of words consisting of just one syllable, two syllables, three syllables and even words containing seven and eight syllables. Last but not least, I will introduce you to the longest word in English with 19 syllables and 45 letters - crazy but true! Check it out. At the end there is also a short test for you to see how much you have understood.
good

π syllable
/ΛsΙͺl.Ι.bΙl/
With all due respect, you have mis-syllabified
/ΛsΙͺlΙbΙl/ as
/ΛsΙͺl.Ι.bΙl/.
Because you pronounced syllable
as [ΛsΙͺ]+[lΙ]+[bΙl], the correct answer is
/ΛsΙͺ.lΙ.bΙl/. Written syllables must match the spoken syllables.

I love this class- interesting and fun.
@musiliuasisat216512:40 Is "usually" not a 3 syllable-word, the second one being a diphthong? Please clarify, ma'am.
@areehanoor1571I'm just wondering why it seems that you use the sound "v" before you pronounce "r" in your own language, is that something related to accent!?
@mohammadqadah9517Her voice makes feel calm and comfortβ€

@NezhaBenaissiThank you! I fell in love the robotic technique you taught to count the number of syllable in a word. It's funny but usefull. π π
@itsmustaqimhereIn Cambridge dictionary the word 'city' is divided /ΛsΙͺtΜ¬Β·i/, not /ΛsΙͺ.tΜ¬i/? Which one is correct? Do you think many people is speaking wrong way?
@TaiLe-dr5veIn American Cambridge Dictionary, i see:
They write the word 'menu' is /Λmen.ju/, but i hear many native American speakers say /Λme.nju/
They write the word 'city' is /ΛsΙͺtΜ¬Β·i/, but i hear many native American speakers say /ΛsΙͺ.tΜ¬i/
/Λmen.ju/ and /Λme.nju/, which is correct? Is there any different when speaking these two syllable types.
/ΛsΙͺtΜ¬Β·i/ and /ΛsΙͺ.tΜ¬i/, which is correct? Is there any different when speaking these two syllable types.

@chamiskaamarasinghe5355Hi Billie, thank you for this well-detailed lesson.
@gift7848Hi Blly! I have a question, why is the word "lesson" divided as "less.on" and not "le.sson"?
@axlcedillo58518.25 you say βsilent consists one vowel soundβ but it is written /ΛsaΙͺ.lΙnt/ in dictionary which contains two vowels!?
