Hi! Today we're going to learn how to pronounce the vowel I. Normally it's quite easy to pronounce this vowel. But sometimes we come across that it is pronounced as "İ" instead of I (by beginners). I have a method in order to get rid of this problem. I'd like to share it with you all. Now, let's see what kind of method it is. What (words) do we see on the board? kırmızı (red), yıldırım (lightning) yıldız (star), kız (girl), dışarı (out, outside) There is the vowel ı in all of those words. And we come across that they are pronounced as kirmizi, yildirim, yildiz, kiz, dişari (by beginners). I'm sure you would like to pronounce it correctly as well. Well, how do we procounce this? How is this sound articulated? It is very easy. You could trust me. Now with a method that I'm going to show you, you will be able to pronounce this sound easily, too. Now let's see how to pronounce it. [I hear you're saying "GET TO THE POINT MAN!"] Now let's see how to pronounce it. [I hear you're saying "GET TO THE POINT MAN!"] The method is very easy. [:D] We remove the ı and throw them. We pretend as if the ı don't exist and see the results. Oups, r is gone. r is here. Let the leave ı there since we will need it. Let's look at yıldırım. yıldız kız okay, now We pretend like it's not there. quickly We say "krmzı" krmzı We look at yıldırım: yldrm yldrm yldrm yıldırım, yldrm, yıldırım We look at yıldız: yldz, yldz yldz, yıldız yldz yıldız [:D] kz [k here is more like q in quality, c in car] kz, kız dşarı, dşarı, dışarı Well, it might sound a little funny It also sounds me funny when I'm speaking [now] but that's how it is. If we pretend like it doesn't exist there, we get used to it much easily. Let's see now. What did we say? We said dşarı so it's dışarı. We said yldrm so it's yıldırım. Now we can say (pronounce) it. We tried this with many students. And it really, really worked on all of them. Now they all can pronounce the ı. Now let's hear it from you. kz (qz) kız [:)] yldz Yes, yldz. Now, normal way: yıldız We don't move our mouth: yldz We're stable: yıldız yldrm yıldırım krmzı kırmızı. Alright? I think it works. I can feel that. I can hear you. I think it worked and it's really well done. Thank you for watching. Görüşmek üzere! Merhaba, Ben Tamer Yıldırım. I was born and grew up in Izmir, Turkey. I have bachelor’s and master’s degree in turcology. It’s a field in which you study Turkish and other Turkic languages along with their historical developments in phonology, morphology, semantics and syntax. It gives you a great opportunity to ask Turkish language WHY, HOW and BUT HOW COME throughout your journey and the best part is YOU GET YOUR ANSWERS! Even after having your bachelor’s degree, you run and jump in the living room saying I WANNA TEACH EVERYTHING I LEEEAAAARNT!!!! So imagine me after having my master’s degree! [human mode: ON] Ahem. I always wanted to expand my world when I was studying. I’ve been to Kazakhstan as an exchange student in 2013 and 2016 as they speak a Turkic language. I’ve been to Europe with my backpack first time in 2015 and have visited France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czechia, Austria, Hungary and Serbia. I wanted to pass to Izmir through Greece but my Schengen visa was over. Haha! I had already started teaching Turkish in Kazakhstan when I was an exchange student but I wanted to educate myself more about it. So I enrolled to the certificate program organized by Yunus Emre Institute and Gazi University. It was such a unique program! I already had pedagogical courses before, but this was something else. It genuinely gave me the confidence to teach Turkish. And then what? I taught at university for one year! Even if it was only for one year, it still means that my biggest dream came true! I was supposed to teach 6 hours a week according to my contract but I split the students into different groups and taught voluntarily 32 hours per week! I was that hungry to teach... I’m not sure if this idiom works in English but that’s what we say in Turkish. Anyway. I have another stories about teaching as freelance tutor but here I am now: Teaching online! I use Zoom and Skype for my private lessons. If the learner demands a speaking class, we switch to Facetime, too. I use 4th gen iPad Pro (2020) and a 2nd gen Apple Pencil for the best quality of artificial blackboard experience and drawing. In order to sound better, I use Samson Q2U dynamic microphone. My download and upload speed are 300 mbps so our lessons do not cut. You could contact me via [email protected]
