Hi Rachel,your teaching is awesome. I work for an international B.P.O and your video sessions on American pronunciation is helping me a lot. I like the way you articulate your lips,tongue and teeth to make the appropriate sound.I am still learning a lot from your videos and I believe it would be a matter of time before I would be able to speak flawless English language.YOU have been an angel in disguise for me who yearned so much for someone who could help him in his English.Keep the good work.
Dear Teacher Rachel: 1) First, I want to thank you for your so useful videos teaching "spoken" English. I think that we, non-native English speaking people, can learn a lot from your lessons. 2) Here, if you have free time and don't mind, would you please help me (and many of my friends) put right accents on the sentence "I thought you would." in 2 cases: - I did correctly know you would do that, and you did. - I wrongly thought you would do that, and you did not do that at all. Thanks!
Hi Gabriel, Thanks for your note. My coworker Tom and I are working on a new online course, but I'm not sure when it will start. To make sure you hear about it, sign up for my mailing list. You can find the link under 'about' on my channel. :)
I had a hard time at my school with phonems... Nasal, stop, fricative, affricative. Bilabial, labiodental, interdental, alveolar, alveopalatal, velar... But it's actually working. I think my teacher didn't teach us all of consonants. Thank you for this video
bagus materinya sisters,, saya dari INDONESIA,, masih pemula belajar bahasa inggris,, meskipun saya belum bisa bahasa inggris, tapi karna cara penyampaiannya bagus,, saya paham maksudnya, cara bicaranya juga tidak terburu buru, bagus, jelas, ,,,
to be honest,i was in deep shit cuz of my pronunciation.especially,when i talk to native speakers they sometimes say to me"Sorry?" or "Pardon me?".every time i hear something like these words from native speakers im like "I dont wanna talk to u!!" But ur videos push me to realize that its time to improve pronunciation! good to discover ur videos which r awesome. I've decided to watch ur videos everyday.thanks so much!!!
Ms. Rachael. Thank you so much, I am English major and your posting are GREAT!! it helps me out a whole lot, so God bless you for sharing your God's gift to us!!!
Thank you very much, Rachel! With your lessons, I improved my skills in a short time and mostly I feel confident with myself. I'll have to practice a lot but now I'm happy! Greetings from Italy.
Thanks for the tutorials. It is time to make English a phonetic language. Not the English language it self is not phonetic it is the writing system. phonetic English writing system will help our children to read at early age. This days with all teaching material kids know the letters at age 1 years old but can't read and spell until second grade. Some one like you (English teachers and linguistics) ) have to change the English writing system. I taught my daughters to read English at home using the Ge'ez alphabet (very close to IPA). At the age of 6 and 8, they have reading skill of high school.
Rachel, I'm love your classes and I'm learning much. Continue posting more classes that I 'll continue learning more and more. Thanks!! Fábio from Brazil.
Thank you so much Rachel. I am from India and I want to learn American accent. I was so tired trying to learn IPA but your videos makes it much easier for me.😊😊
Exactly which is why I have a little accent. I started learning English at the age of 13 so it was challenging in the beginning. People say I don’t have an accent but I feel like I do lol They just had us reading books everyday
Because idiots took control of the education system and decided the best way to learn to read is to memorize every single word in the language. The smartest guy I know is a terrible speller because he was never taught phonics.
I’m so glad I found this video. The first video I found was by a British woman. She was giving example words and I was so close from asking in the comments, “Am I supposed to pronounce these with a British accent?” Granted, it was her vowel video. So that probably made the confusion worse.
This is great. One suggestion: deal with the difference between aspirated and unaspirated voiceless stops ([p], [t], and [k]). Getting these right makes a huge difference in the way speakers are perceived. For those from the Indian subcontinent, a word about the universal lack of aspiration of voiced plosives could also be helpful.
hi, i'm a girl from spain, and i was intresested in american english. I like very much your videos you have a good way to teach, but i wonder if you could make more videos with street expresions or something like this. thanks.
Hi Rachel! I really appreciate how your ways of learning E here is. So, I honestly want to follow it from the beginning. Could you plz help me with this? Many tks in advance.
Hey Rachel! ;-) what a pleasant way to learn English pronunciation... i just started to practice this and: maaaannnn my enlgish suck!!!..though im sure ur classes are going to help me a lot!!... thanks for your Great work
@@rachelsenglish My pleasure. Your videos made life live. I can follow your directions to study my courses in English selfishly. My major problem with English speaking is about vowel quality. I cannot change the quality of vowel sounds during my speech, as well as you did. Would you please pass me some recommendations in this case?
0:30 the "t" in "mention" is pronounced like "ch"? But I always hear and say it like "sh" as how it's pronounced in the other word of this pair. Is there an accent difference here?
Hi, nice video! I would just like to say that the americans don't change the t's in 'matter' and 'water' into a soft /d/, instead, it is a /ɾ/ (like in spanish 'caro'). And it then becomes confusing when you use /r/ with the english r's (which is /ɹ/).
I think you speak english very good, I think perfect, you speak english like a my professor in Costa Rica, in that moment I thought he was crazy, but now I see he is the best.
you prob. wont read my comment because you have 406 comments, but I want to let you know that you are awesome and that your video has helped me a lot. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. God bless you even more. Greetings from Guatemala.
Excuse me, I found out that "mention" is not pronounced like you did. I found /ˈmenʃn/ in OALD and Cambridge Dictionary. Please take a look. Thank you very much
I have a query: Is ''c'' in "ancient" a good example for [ˈtʃ ] sound? Is it ( eɪntʃənt) instead of (eɪnʃənt) ? I always consult Webster's Dictionary, which says for ''ancient'' (ān′shənt). I've been following you and i've learned a lot from you so far. So, I'd like you to offer an explanation on the above. Thank you in advance!
Hi! I think you'll hear a CH consonant sound in this word from most speakers. It's due to where the tongue is for the N consonant sound and what happens when you quickly move into the SH position, it creates that CH consonant sound. This is a great question! :)
i've found your videos very interesting, but I think it will be better if you could show us the phonetic chart and it's section. Thanks a lot for your time. Best wishes from Peru.
Thanks for posting such a nice manner to learn the IPA. I can see that after the video I got quite more familiar with many of the symbols and sounds of it. Ok, I still have a lot to do with my kinda heavy pronunciation but it did helped me to open my "third eye" about improvement. Thanksss!!!
@Luigi Carmona: If our teacher stresses on the 1st syllable which indicates that it is definitely a noun more than a verb. I have heard many people saying 'redo' the same like she does sound it here and most of cases i understand it as a noun. and of course, stress on 2nd syllable which is a verb as you thought. Correct me if i'm wrong. Best
This is very helpful for me to prepare my phonetics exam, especially the clear shape of your mouth and the visible position of your tongue. Thank you for doing such a great video!
Hi Rachel, well I mean you're really really really awesome I've seen your vídeos here and I love too much and I have learned a lot here it's so useful my pronunciation is up there already because of you and because of me too of course haha but you are really awesome I love your vídeos and you're pretty beautiful too and I want to have some english classes if it's possible Don't forget me, Do you have email or any contact ? bye I'm waiting your classes

Yes, I guess it is a difference in opinion of the editors of the dictionaries. I have also seen both. I use the CH sound in 'mention'.
MENTION is CH, and MOTION is SH. Unfortunately, there aren't rules to tell you which should be which.
Best, Rachel
And, it is in conjunction with I. You can see more information relating to this on my website, under the 'sound chart'
this 11-year-old video really helps me with my studying of english phonetics. many thanks Rachel!!!

It can be either, but it's more commonly unvoiced.

Others ,but Miss Rachel is clear and
Understandable
Thanks for watching Abdelmajid!
I share your videos with my students
I've been studying English ASL for a long time and this is probably the best class I ever seen regarding language phonetics. God bless you Rachel.

Madam I respect u as teacher my u live long and be happy
Thanks Abdullah!
@@rachelsenglish it's my pleasure to got such a teacher as like u
Why weren't we taught this in elementary school?
My question exactly. This will make learning other langues especially phonetic ones much easier
Brandon Wu I was and I’m not even from a native English speaking country
Exactly which is why I have a little accent. I started learning English at the age of 13 so it was challenging in the beginning. People say I don’t have an accent but I feel like I do lol They just had us reading books everyday
because they hate us
Because idiots took control of the education system and decided the best way to learn to read is to memorize every single word in the language. The smartest guy I know is a terrible speller because he was never taught phonics.
I love you and your team. I used to practice following your way of pronunciation. You are the best for me.
Thanks a lot!
very easy to follow your pronunciation.Thank you very much.
My pleasure Rathna!
Thanks for the video, I think, that you are the most better teacher, I congratulations you for your class
pronounciation is very good & fully clarity thank you

muchas gracias por tus videos
estoy aprendiendo mucho
Good job, Miss Rachel. It'll be helpful for my students in Vietnam and Italia.
thanks so muchhh for teaching so nicely...
have been following your English lessons for two years or more, and feeling really improved....
thanksss
I'm lovening your perfect pronounciation of the phonetic symbols. I learn so much.
This is great. One suggestion: deal with the difference between aspirated and unaspirated voiceless stops ([p], [t], and [k]). Getting these right makes a huge difference in the way speakers are perceived. For those from the Indian subcontinent, a word about the universal lack of aspiration of voiced plosives could also be helpful.

There is a subtle difference. I've only heard a few people really be specific in saying it correctly, because it takes more effort to say it right.
and I thought I was close to mastering english....
Thank you Miss. That was an amazing class
You're welcome Gabriela!
Thank you Rachel! Hello from Brazil!

Glad to hear that John!
brilliant explanation, congrulation
Many thanks!
Tks from Brazil, Rachel´s English.
You are my best teacher..I would like to have you on line...
Hi, technically, it's CH or /tʃ/, but since the /t/ is always weakened by consonant /n/, it's often omitted! I hope that helped! :)
and it’ s the case for “ancient”!
Excuse me, I found out that "mention" is not pronounced like you did. I found /ˈmenʃn/ in OALD and Cambridge Dictionary. Please take a look. Thank you very much
Rachel you are pretty and a very good teacher too

Thank you very much for your teaching.
Thank you very much for your videos. I love them very much.
In our university in Egypt we listened to this video to understand
this is what i need. thank you so much,teacher
My pleasure @theduongpham2846!
thank for this video . I am a student for esl and I think phonetic spelling it is so difficult. this video is very helpful for me
said mustafan Great!
Rachel: Do you have like a club of fans? cause I could be the president. Great job, I love your videos.
Rachel, for P T K, pronunciation of each sound should be differrent due to its positions, it should be aspirated or unaspirated.
thanks for all the videos..
we love to learn from them .
Thanks so much Rachel's
thanks Rachel :) It's been very useful for me lately :)
Thank you very much for your lessons they were helpfull for me
Thanks again Rachel

Hiya, Copenhagen, Denmark here, enjoying and learning, thanks :)
En la escuela nunca me ensenaron esto, nunca supe la pronunciacion hasta ahora, si no ya hubiera avanzado mucho, esto es lo mejor que vi.
