    I really love your improvement. You are making a lot eye contact right now, back then i thought your eyes doesn't quite met the camera. And i really love your teaching as always. It is always clear that you put a lot of effort even just to make a whole minute from 9-minute video. Kudos to you, Elliott. NEVER STOP TEACHING PLEASE!

    You are beginning to take the English accent to a next level by your quirky and unprecedented way of teaching. It's an unparalleled change, a change which no other TH-camr brought about yet, albeit they have more subscribers. I'm glad to have come across such a person; now it feels like we know you in person. Cheers, bro! Xoxo

    This is quite interesting. In the dialect of English spoken in Ireland, we almost always pronounce the “r” sound, and don’t replace it with a vowel sound (as far as I’m aware). For example, I would very clearly pronounce the “r” sound when saying the words “work” or “teacher”

The st in student often sounds like an S followed by a CH sound. So, the way I pronounce student sounds like I'm saying "s+ chew" at the beginning. Hope that helps. :)

I should have perhaps said "modern Southern RP", although I did say "often" because even then, it can vary so much. Out of interest, would you say /stu:/ (more like the American pron) or /stju:/ (going straight into more of a y sound)?

      Same here, I am originally from France, I've lived in the United States for almost 35 years -- I had to 'relearn' how to speak English, LOL -- and sometimes, I catch myself mispronouncing words unintentionally, and correct myself immediately; at first, I was speaking English with a British accent, or as I call it, a pseudo-British accent, and people thought I was from England, which made me very happy, I could even fool British people into making them believe I was from England or whereabouts! And bit by bit, I lost my British accent and adopted the American accent, but there are words I still pronounce the British way, like the word 'leisure' for instance... so I see what you mean, My Little English Page.

    When I went to school (and sometimes work) in the states, I would hide my English accent and speak in a full American accent lol because I use to get picked on so bad haha and this stood me out way too easily
    I was born in the United States but moved to France when I was 3 with my mom and grew up in Calais and Normandy, France. Calais, France is quite near to London, England.
    So as a kid, I subconsciously picked up an English accent when I would speak in English... but it is not as strong as others.
    And what I have noticed is: whenever I speak in a full American accent, I barely utilize any facial muscles within my jaw, tongue, neck, lips or mouth. But whenever I speak French or English (in a English accent), I use a lot of facial muscles in my forehead, cheeks, zygomatic structure, eyebrow raising, lip movement, tongue curling, etc. So yeah, this is what I have notice through my adult years between languages, dialects and accents.

    I thought non natives don't have the British accent is all about the throat. But now I finally figured out, it's all about the mouth shape ... Thank you so much!!!!

    When people tell "work", they sound it like "walk". How to correct this mistake?

      Work is without the r i.e wu:k
      Walk is wa...like water, ward . the WA is more towards a WO sound. So it sounds like WOlk.
      Is this making any sense ?

    Hi, Elliot. Congrats for your great job as pronunciation teacher. I have a question: you said that the r is not pronounced at the end of words, but what if the next word starts with a vowel, doesn’t it make the r sound to be pronounced? An example could be “for it”. Wouldn’t it be pronounced as “for-it” as if it were a one word with the r sound being pronounced? Thanks in advance for your help and greetings from Venezuela.

      I concur, I too thought the same, 'foh i-tuh' just sounds awkward and inconvenient in a sentence especially as it's a function word. It should rather sound like 'fur i-tuh' in a sentence.
