Does the guy really say "that" (as subtitles also suggest) at 00:09 [
]?
I hear s or z in the end after many times of "cycling" listening and don't understand where is my mistake. Can you please help me with that?He does.
Same here. Joey is laughing(or snickering) while saying "you don't want to lose that," so there's a lot of exhaling going on. As a result, his "to lose that" comes out like "/... luz-æ-s/". You can achieve the same effect by saying /t/ while laughing/exhaling. Also, /z/(loze) and /ð/(that) blend together into /z/.I hear s or z in the end ...
That's what you think you hear, not becessarily what he acually says., his "to lose that" comes out like "/... luz-æ-s/".
Sorry, but I am not up to date in that field any more. Somebody else can probably give better advice than I.What is the most reliable computer spectogram programme which would be of any help for me? Please give me your advice.
I strongly believe that IPA would help me to better understand native speakers. Wouldn't it? What's your opinion on such lessons.
