      You do know how it eases [for a major part of humanity] to achieve better SPEAKING SKILLS when one actually likes the movies actor
      [BEING MALE AND LOOKING AT] - *a man upon whom you could take example and a few speech patterns & watching a woman you can't help admiring, wanting her speak again and again [until a complete understanding]*
      - and the other way around -
      [BEING FEMALE AND] *liking a woman whom one chooses & wishes to resemble, remembering her moves and way of talking & liking a man whose every uttered word could cut your breathing*
      - *_of course, by single looks without voice they couldn't woe you_*

      Thank you so much, eventhough I'm a native speaker of English, this is still really useful, as I am an actor so, any finer points of the language are useful to me.
      Four other examples of words that sound the same but have different meanings are: Break and Brake, and, Meter and Metre, and the two that are the worst, To, Too, and Two, and, There, Their and They're, I've found that many native speakers still get these wrong.
      I word that I think might be good for you to address is: Privacy, many people pronounce this incorrectly, you did an excellent job on explaining a similar tricky word, Advertisement.
      Thanks for what you do, you do it so very well.

    As a Latin American Spanish speaker I am in the backyard of the US and therefore in their orbit, hence it is pretty normal that when learning English, I stick to the American accent. However, I really enjoy British English teaching channels, I find them refreshing, so to speak.
    And you in particular have a lovely accent.

      Although, given the invasion of American sitcoms into the UK, I think that in a couple of generations, all British people will be speaking with an American accent.

    Bail means the same in the states, it just releases you until your trial, if you no-show court, you lose the assets you put up for bail. if you don't have to put up security to guarantee you'll show back up to court, we call it being released on your own recognizance.

    Paul, from Langfocus, once quoted a famous British philologist Walter William Skeat saying "...no one can tell how to pronounce an English word unless he has at some time or other heard it." I guess all of your followers, such as myself, will enjoy your helping us understand his saying because the above mentioned philologist didn't point out the fact having heard how a word is pronounced wouldn't help anyone know how on Earth the said word is actually written.

    Thank you Jade for this very useful lesson! These tricks to remember the different spellings work so well.
    Yes, the A doesn’t really look like a church 😄 (maybe the top of its bell tower?), but while you were writing it, I immediately thought “Yes, of course, two hands put together, the thumbs tops touching, to prAy!” (and then you came out with the church thing😅).
    Here is a trick, from one of my English teachers when I was a child, to remember the paradigm of the verb to come
    COCA-COLA*, the full name of the drink Coke: COme CAme COme😊
    *Here in Italy we say Coca-cola or just Coca, rather than Coke or Cola.

Oh, Jade, on this day where I watched your video on my mobile phone because my computer failed, I discovered my truth in my learning English; I am a dying speaker instead of being a native speaker because I will die pronouncing words of this beautiful language I was not born with it. I am taught by a native speaker though. Please, Jade, do a prayer for us.
