11:47 Summary

Pre-fortis clipping is the effect that causes vowel length to get squashed in English speech.

How does this happen?

A voiceless consonant, such as 'K' or 'T,' squeezes a vowel and makes it shorter. This happens because the tongue pauses airflow while we're forming these voiceless consonant sounds.

Try it for yourself by saying 'seed' and then 'seat.'

Do you notice the difference?

If not, don't worry as this week's tutorial will help you to see them for yourself!

You're going to learn how to implement pre-fortis into your English speech, which will enable you to improve your English pronunciation skills AND your English listening abilities!

So if you are looking to boost your confidence when speaking English, this is the tutorial for you!
