First time I've seen your videos, I thought them difficult and confusing. Now, after six months of new learning, they're the best way to understand and explain pronunciation! You take things hard to see and listen and explain in the best and easiest way to understand. Thank you so much. Cheers from Brazil!
I'm from Vietnam. I've learned English for a long time but I don't understand what native speakers speak. Thanks for your video, it's very useful. I really appreciate it!
Exellent Oh My God Ive been watching too many videos and I searched a lot to find why I cant understand native speakers, but your vidoe made a lot for me. I realy appriciate you for your materials and information that helped me to progress my english.
one of the best English teaching channels. As a Chinese I always have the same problem with foreign language learning, namely mastering the melody of a specific language, i.e. in English or German. I used to stress every word of a sentence and spoke it out with broken accent. Later after the phonetic course for German in Germany i finally found the reason, why I couldn't speak like a nativ speaker. Thank to your fantastic videos, I gradually get clear about where should man stress and where de-stress. It helps me a lot, not only in English learning, but also in German learning. Because of your video I got my confidence back to speak and express myself like a nativ speaker. Cloud you please probably make videos about how to breakdown a long sentence into different parts and speak it with correct inotation? thousand times thanks
I am a native Spanish speaker, and a lot time study English as a foreign language, but this part is difficult for me; thanks a lot for helping !! I love 😘 ❤️ . Go ahead making your videos
This video lecture is really practical and useful. It's the one which i really want. In our concepts, we think 'pronunciation' equals to 'phonics'. Every single sound is important. But we need to learn pronunciation concept together. That means we need to learn sounds, linking, stressed/unstressed words, etc. We need to know how the voice goes up and down.
ElementalEnglish hi. I watched a video saying these linked sounds are as followed: I liked it = Lai-dit. walked around = wak-daraund. worked on = wor-don... is it correct? cuz words such as worked and laughed has a T ending sound workt, laughf... how would these be when linking + vocal sounds; laughed-at , worked- it, missed-it ??
Your video is so perfect. I always feel difficult to understand native speaker, I guess it's caused by my poor oral English, but your video told me: it's caused by native speaker eat or changed the sound. it's not my fault, haha
The lesson and it’s format is great! Which accent do you speak: British or American? I guess American, but I want to be sure. Maybe it worth to be mentioned in the description of the channel, don’t you think?
Porqué no comienzas con nuevos videos un poco más largos.somos muchos los inmigrantes k nesecitamos estás clases para salir adelante. Y te felicito por este trabajo tan bello y útil,ayer comenzó pues esto es lo k nesecito gracias de ❤
Thanks for the great clips you've made for us. It sounds much simpler and easier to follow. I HOPE it sounds too greedy if I ask you to make more videos about intonations. stresses in a long sentences,dictations etc Good day to you!.
Excelente vídeo, porque repite la pronunciación y me despeja muchas dudas que tengo con la unión de palabras y consonantes con vocales. gracias profesora. repita más la pronunciación please.
Hi, your videos are absolutely great and I'm showing them to all my students. Italian students also have the problem of omitting the 'h' where you're supposed to put it. In British English the 'h' is omitted much less. My students tend to pronounce 'h' before the letter A: Hugh 'H'and Harry 'H'are 'H'at home. I get them to practise a lot but perhaps if it were worth making a video about it for students whose native language is of Latin origin, it might help... Keep up the great work!!! All my students appreciate you.
Thanks for the nice compliments! I'm so glad you and your students like the videos. I'd be happy to make a video for your students! If you'd like to have them make a longer list of words they have trouble with, I can customize the lesson just for them :)
Excellent videos, thanks again!! I have a question about your intonation around 2.20 min *As always, post your questions and comments below" - to me, it sounds like a question, although it's a suggestion/invitation to post comments - This is not the first time I've noticed this - I used to live in Canada for many years, and I've learned to "translate" what to me sounds like a question into a suggestion/instruction or mild command. I wish I could be more specific - wonder if anyone asked this before, thanks!
absolutely nice video it is! indian always complain that native speaker(specially american) don't pronounce any utterance alphabetically or word to word because they don't know importance of every sound. we indians are very honest so we give importance for each sound equally becoz we learn it with high effort so we don't become biased in it.
But Ive got a question to ask you, you said "in american english". Are those rules in you video occur to British english as well or they are diffirent? Do you have a facebook I'd like to ask you a few question plz. Thanks a lot!
Please do you have any videos about Pronunciation P sound this is my nightmare sound, I searched but founded nothing. I would be very pleased if you could help. Thanks
Hi, I simply love your videos, they help me a lot! I'd like to ask you one thing though, what is the rule for pronouncing `it` ? Because I notice that sometimes the T is pronounced, but very often it is not. What is the rule here? thank you ! keep up the great work!
What about " He had "? There's h-deletion in connected speech when Sb says " He had "? Therefore, the letter " h " from that verb " had " in its beginning is dropped ?
It's very difficult to me produce h sound,I thought to exhale air when ever I cm across h alphabet,can u plz tell me the ways to produce h sound without stress
+Felipe Ribeiro "Did" and "she" would be connected in this example, in that there is no pause or breath between the two words. But there is no transformation in the sounds of the two words.
"She asked her to leave." I couldn't hear the -ed in ending sound. How do you know the person is saying "ask" or "asked" if in connected speech? If I tried to connect the speech then people said I didn't pronounce the ending sound. IfI pronounced every single word in the sentence, then it call accent. It is so complicated!!!
Good question! A couple of things are happening here: 1) the “ed” ending should sound like a [t] (see the lesson on “ed” endings). 2) I deleted the [k] in “asked”. This is because native English speakers (at least in the U.S.) speak with a goal of efficiency-saying the most they can in the shortest amount of time. This leads to us to delete the middle consonant in consonant clusters. So, here, I naturally deleted the middle [k] in “asked” [æskt] and said it as “ast” [æst] with no [k]. This allowed me to say it with a bit more flow and music. Therefore, to distinguish between a present tense “ask” or past tense “asked”, focus on what sound you hear before the “er” in “her”. Is it a [k] or a [t]? Also, in reply to your comment about “pronouncing every word”, remember that we clearly pronounce content words in English, such as noun, verbs, etc. The other smaller, “grammatical” words get de-stressed, because they don’t carry much meaning. Try practicing with one of my lessons on rhythm to hear the musicality of English! Good luck :)
Thank you for the reply. Now I'm more understandable. Someone, an experienced elementary teacher, also complained that I don't pronounce "a" "an". Well, I understand if I didn't pronounce the ending sound like "s" or "ed", it can be confusing. But I hear different options that really confuse me. So what should I say to the teacher that I actually don't need to pronounce the article? Thank you
Is there a difference between how ladies and guys speak the language? There seems to be a lot more drama and musicality when it's a lady speaking, while guys tend to sound a tad bit flat.
I am very sad ""ElementalEnglish" I've spent a lot of money in english courses: 5 years, and They learned to speak as the way you read, like the word are written, It's a crime, I want to die, I've spent years learning wrong, I want to die

+nahed mahmoud I have a lesson on [p] vs. [b] for Arabic speakers: www.elementalenglish.com/p-vs-b-english-pronunciation-lesson-for-arabic-speakers/

I would notice the lesson as weakened " h " sound in pronoun.
Thank you.
What about " He had "? There's h-deletion in connected speech when Sb says " He had "? Therefore, the letter " h " from that verb " had " in its beginning is dropped ?
does british sound the same?
EXCELLENT
It's very difficult to me produce h sound,I thought to exhale air when ever I cm across h alphabet,can u plz tell me the ways to produce h sound without stress
Larissssaa, Come back Pleaseee.
I need you sooo Bad Teacher
I just Wanna say Hi 🤗🙌🙇🙏❤.
What about the word "she".
for example, "Did she get it?"
Is there connection between did and she?
+Felipe Ribeiro "Did" and "she" would be connected in this example, in that there is no pause or breath between the two words. But there is no transformation in the sounds of the two words.
"She asked her to leave." I couldn't hear the -ed in ending sound. How do you know the person is saying "ask" or "asked" if in connected speech?

💣🔥
Isn't it more simple to pronounce a voiced h in these cases /ɦ/?
Good
good
why want him -> "wanim" not "wantim" ? sorry i cant write the schwa so i change it to "i"
Nguyễn Trang this is because in words such as wan(t) the T is omitted when pronouncing it...
Is there a difference between how ladies and guys speak the language? There seems to be a lot more drama and musicality when it's a lady speaking, while guys tend to sound a tad bit flat.
Por eso me cuesta entender a los nativos.
I can't pronounce that's his choice because all of the tch and s sounds...
suppppppppppppppppppperbb
I have a Kenyan accent and no one seems to get me even as I use your classes in utube
Where have you disappeared? Busy with family life?
I am very sad ""ElementalEnglish" I've spent a lot of money in english courses: 5 years, and They learned to speak as the way you read, like the word are written, It's a crime, I want to die, I've spent years learning wrong, I want to die
Well, no need to die over it! But I know how frustrated you feel. Written English and spoken English are like two different languages.
