Thank you for the simple and clear explanation. Didn't know those rules. They're very helpful and this lesson is much much better than many English textbooks. I also repeat after or shadow the speakers of various audio sources.
I am an engineering major and now l am learning about phonetic symbol for my English course. At first, I was not even sure what language is this and what kind of thing this is. I was pretty frustrated about this whole thing but now I am surprised at myself how far l have come. I can read dictionary now and l can write words with their phonetic symbols. I told my brother that l know latin and showed him words written with these symbols!
I learned this in class but couldn't understand it, which frustrated me. So, when I found this video, your explanation was great and made me immediately understand. Thank you!
I❤your way of teaching. I was struggling with the long and short "Vowel Sounds" specially with the short "i", the short "u " and the large "o" /ô/. But after I knew you, everything was so easy-peasy. Greetings from Arequipa-Peru. "Eres lo Máximô"
Hello Zul. Hope you are keeping well. Maybe give me a list of words you find difficult to pronounce and I'll record them for you. Love ❤️ & 🕊Peace. Liz x
@@EnglishwithLiz Wow, i feel very privileged to be given a golden opportunity to list down certain English words which I in the past or maybe presently found some certain difficulties. Please allow me three or five days to search and consequently compile the list. Thank you so much Liz . You are such a lovely and kind tutor. ❤🕊 🏆🥇🥇🏆👍
You're right, Liz! "Antepenultimate syllable" went right under my radar. Very interesting! In Spanish, where I studied stress in the rules for placing accents, "penúltima" is the same as English, but antepenultimate has its own word, "esdrújula" which I always thought was rather uniquely ugly.
Ho Liz thank you so much I love you thank you this was helpful I have an exam coming up and my tutors are not teaching this topic it was so frustrating. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hi Innocent Nwankwo. Words that end with "-sm" typically have their stress placed on the syllable immediately preceding the "-sm" ending. Here are a few examples: Criticism: /ˈkrɪtɪˌsɪzəm/ Organism: /ˈɔːrɡəˌnɪzəm/ Patriotism: /ˈpeɪtriəˌtɪzəm/ Capitalism: /ˈkæpɪtəˌlɪzəm/ Racism: /ˈreɪsɪzəm/ Feminism: /ˈfɛmɪˌnɪzəm/ ❤️&🕊

Earlier editions are in alphabetical order and the 4th edition is now organised by topics. However whilst it has been reorganised the content is broadly the same.

@@EnglishwithLiz ok Liz i bought the second and fourth edition Liz i have a question for you , there is a person on You Tube who teaches English and has a channel called The American English , he says that the British accent is not the origin of the language and does not admit that the american accent is just a dialect that evolved from the English language what do you say about this subject ? i am asking you because you are British and you know for sure about this subject . this person and i argue about this point , but he does not want to be convinced of what i said , he is Egyptian and I am Libyan , and you are British , then the definitive answer i will find it with you .
Well common sense dictates that English came from England, but I looked up the origin of English and when it first arrived in America . Here are the answers. English was first spoken in America by the British colonists who settled in Jamestown, Virginia in 1607. So obviously it came from Britain!!!!😃 The English language has evolved over thousands of years and has a complex and fascinating history. The origins of English can be traced back to the early Germanic tribes who spoke Old English, which was heavily influenced by Latin, Norse, and Celtic languages.

Hi Gallan. Hope you are well. How 'You have to' is pronounced will depend on the context and both British and American pronunciations have the same phonetic spellings. In fast speech the 'f' can replace 'v' as it is quicker to say, but both are fine to use and you will also hear 'əvtə' or 'əftə' or 'əftu:' or 'əvtu', the combinations are many 😃. Love ❤️ & 🕊Peace.

I have such a hard time trying to pronounce the words "effortless" "effortlessly" "effortlessness". There are two main reasons for this:
Reason # 1. The "t" sound: I know that in natural spoken english an american native speaker don't pronounce a "true t" like "tap" or "table", instead they pronounce a "held t" = the tip of the tongue touches the bony bump behind the upper teeth (AKA alveolar ridge), however there is no air release. I CAN'T do it naturally
Reason # 2. Word stress: In my native language, Brazilian Portuguese, when a word has four or more syllables, the stress can only fall in one of the last three syllables in a word.
In two syllable-words the stress pattern can be: DA da ( BOla, MAla) or da DA ( caJU, aMOR).
In three-syllable words the stress pattern can be:
da da DA (profesSOR, abriCÓ bamboLÊ), da DA da ( toMAte, baNAna, aÇUcar),
DA da da (sílaba, fôlego, música).
So, in a four-syllable word , five-syllable word or any other multi-syllable word, it doesn't matter how many syllables the word has, the stress can only fall in one of the last three syllables, so the stress patterns can be:
da da da DA ( last Syllable):
man je ri CÃO
da da DA da (second to last Syllable):
res pon SÁ vel
da DA da da (third to last Syllable) :
his TÓ ri co.
In English however, if we count the syllables backwords, the stress can falls in the fourth to last Syllable:
DA da da da :
*EF* fort less ly
*EF* fort less ness.
Another crazy example is the word "Veterinary" which has five syllables and has the stress on the first syllable or on the fifth to last syllable (counting backwords): DA da da da da:
*VET* er i nar y
I'm not accostumed to these stress patterns, so that's why is pretty difficult for me
Hi Rodrigo. English pronunciation is notoriously difficult. It takes a lot of practice. With regard to effortless, effortlessly, I would advise substituting a glottal stop for the t sound. The word veterinary is such a mouthful, Brits place only one stress on the first syllable, replacing the second e and a with schwas. Otherwise, just shorten it to 'vet'. 😀
❤️ & 🕊
I love too much ❤❤❤
