The way Kevin teaches American English helps me understand much better how native American English speakers actually use the language. I spent a lot of time watching videos from fake teachers, and it was a waste of time. Thank God I found this channel.
"You do have a choice, you can sound right or you can sound wrong"🎉👏👏 You're a great teacher, Kevin! She teaches wrong English and so confidently and is not ashamed at all😂
Sometimes Kevin seems to be the biggest nitpick i've ever seen)) I know many people who have lived in the States for decades but speak with their accents and mistakes. And nobody cares. But as far as Giovanna passes herself off as a teacher and makes mistakes, her mistakes have to be revealed to avert wrong teaching.
Also, she will never admit when she is (frequently) wrong; hence the hilarious 'explanation' about "yolk" in this video. Her students are going to sound ridiculous.
Great video as always. I noticed another type of mistake in how the lady pronounced words like “spatula”: she’s consistently aspirating the word initial consonant clusters as in “sphhhatula”, which is also not correct. She also does it with “say” and “side”, which to me sounds very off.
8:04 I guess, Sir. Kevin, she heard it from nonstandard English speakers. If her video's aim is to teach SE, it would be incorrect to use it. But you're not strictly prescriptivist in the English language, are you?
She is (supposedly) teaching other people, so she must use correct English. Pronouncing the "l" in yolk is simply incorrect and she should not be teaching it, even if "nonstandard speakers" may say it.
@@SWilliams-s3j Yes. It's incorrect for SE. If her video's aim is to teach SE, it would be incorrect to use nonstandard English because it is meant for informal settings unlike SE for formal settings. All English varieties regardless whether it's standard or nonstandard are equally valid forms of communication. However, their appropriateness depends on context and purpose.
She thinks she is a genius-level English teacher but she makes SO MANY mistakes. I feel bad for her students. Somehow, many of them think she is a native speaker.
every girl with a nice smile and pretty face thinks that this is enough to teach English, they don't understand the nuances as a native speaker does,, so stop wasting time learning poor English, let the girl find out a different way of being useful,, like cooking lessons maybe?
Some of these mistakes are massive. That is why you should learn from native speakers. Honestly it is offensive that someone who is not fluent in a language tries to teach it to others.
Thanks again, Kevin. You and your wife are doing a GREAT job. There are many fake teachers "teaching" English. 😢😢😢
I am thankful for such a great opportunity to study English.
I really admire how patient Kevin is to find and correct all the mistakes. I would be freaking out if I did so.
Thanks for enlightening us.
Thank you for your videos, kevin
The genious teacher very honest with his profession another great lesson with clear explanation
*genius 😀
The polka dot thing blew my mind, I didn't know that.

What the hell is doneness. I have never heard this word before, and not to mention how strange it sounds to me

What about the fact that the Merriam-Webster dictionary recognizes various pronunciations of "yolk", particularly the ones with the nonsilent L?
I have no idea, but as a native speaker, I can tell you that you would sound ridiculous if you pronounced the "l" in yolk!
6:49
She said 'over heart', but Kevin didn't notice it 😮 She didn't pronounce 'over hard' correctly.
Also, she will never admit when she is (frequently) wrong; hence the hilarious 'explanation' about "yolk" in this video. Her students are going to sound ridiculous.

I had no idea "Doneness" was a word 😂
Neither did I.
I can't find it in a dictionary either.

Who are "nonstandard" English speakers? You mean non-native speakers?
@onesandzeroes Actually, they are English native speakers who uses a different variety of English. It's different from SE.
She is (supposedly) teaching other people, so she must use correct English. Pronouncing the "l" in yolk is simply incorrect and she should not be teaching it, even if "nonstandard speakers" may say it.

Vdiu hahaha I dont know why she pronounces the word video /vidiu

Only a native speaker could spot these mistakes 😮

Well.
Not only does she pronounce words wrongly but she also likes to lie.
Well, I would say she seems kind of arrogant.
No I think she is not anative speaker coz she pronounce every word with very strong pressed accent n most of the time wrong
Thanks Kevin. I saw measure used in the expression « for good measure « as a noun in that case
