Week 9: Listening - Pronounce scared and care


Pronounce scared and care

Adam Bradshaw is the famous foreigner teacher. His TV programs are in many channels in Thailand. The breakdown is one of those programs. It is available on modern nine TV at 16:05 pm. Today Adam taught to pronounce “scared and care”.
In the breakdown program, Adam taught to practice to pronounce scared and care in answering question section. For pronounce scared, you should divide word into 3 syllables; /s/, /kɛː/ and /d/. If this word does not end with –d, it means into another meaning. Scare means make another people fear. Then, people should divide into 2 syllables for care. It is /kɛ/ and /aː/. Example of this word, I do not care. You should pronounce the other like care include fair and bear.
Concluding, each word in American pronunciation has the different pronounce. When you pronounce wrong sound, it can change the meaning and context. Scared and care is one example that you should be careful to speak.

In my opinion, there are two accents of English pronunciation. From Adam pronounce, he taught in American English. However, you should practice to pronounce to communicate with foreigner understanding despite what it is accent.
