www.sozoexchange.com Hi, welcome to Daily Pronunciation. Today’s word is ”automotive “. This is an adjective which means pertaining to the design, operation or sale of automobiles or cars. For example, you can say, “The automotive industry isn’t doing well since car sales are down.” Now, I am going to demonstrate how to pronounce the word. Please watch closely how I use my lips, teeth, jaw, tongue and facial muscles to say the word “automotive”. [Demonstration] Thank you for watching. See you tomorrow!

There is an ah/awe problem here. It used to be that “auto” was pronounced AWE-toe or AWE-doe. But it’s been changing in western US to AH-toe (AH-doe). (The “t” is often pronounced “d” all through the US for many words). I can hear all these pronunciations in this clip. Basically, the sound “awe” is disappearing gradually being replaced by “ah”. To me this is not good, almost like a speech impediment. The letter string “au” is meant to indicate “awe” very often, giving some consistency.

What about Nigerian pronunciation or Guyanese? Your videos are quite stupid

The american girl changes her pronounciation while saying the word withouth pauseses. While she is pausing, she says th -sound in the word automotive, but when she says it without pauses the th -sound turns into a d -sound. In the other half the british girl says it right on both of the occasions.

Spending so much time on the body mechanics of pronunciation is a very good way to teach a language. pronunciation can be very difficult.
