English pronunciation practice: partying versus parting

Sunday, November 17th, 2024
Hi guys! Here is how important it is to pronounce /j/ sound in English. Can you tell the difference?
Partying with our students is always fun ???? but parting with our students at our English school in Ottawa is always very, very  sad! ???? (It means saying good bye)
When you pronounce partying, please pronounce the /j/ sound before “ing”
How to pronounce English /j/?
In English language the tongue tip touches behind the lower front teeth, which is different than in many other languages. It’s a voiced sound, which means that your vocal cords are vibrating, we use our voice and air.
Good luck practicing! ????
