If you want to know how to sound more like a native speaker and improve your spoken American English look no further. I’ll show you how to use a short TV clip from Friends (or any other show or movie) to sound like a native speaker. We’ll work together to analyze the scene, showing you all the tactics and tips that help my students improve their spoken English. Learning English from a book is a good first step. But if you want to sound like a native speaker you need to do some other work as well. I’ll help you break down the sounds you’re hearing and why they sound the way they do. When you improve your spoken American English in this way, you’re actually mimicking native speakers and your English will begin to sound more and more like that of a native speaker! You can do it!

Hello teacher, i actually have a question for you. I have been working on my accent for 2 years and I learned everything
1-the intonation
2-the vowels
3-the pronunciation and the most important thing, (the connection of the words)
But should i change my voice as well ?? Well i know that i have to speak with a deep voice form my throat but do all Americans speak form there ?
Have u ever seen foreign ppl who changed their accent completely and sounded American ?? I mean like the teacher that you hosted in your video “Ibrahim adel” does he have an accent ??
If I become a student of RACHEL'S ENGLISH CLASS , can l see many movies with lessons?
As a native English speaker, i love watching these videos just to see what all goes into speaking. When you slow things down, it's like a different form of singing
Hi sweaty can you gave me your number on whatsapp because I so love english and I need to be like a native speaker 🥹💛
Someone tried to write down speech in musical notes. You would get funny results! Thinking of it... a computer is better at singing than speaking.
@HANSMKAMP but. the practice of English or any language other is the best way to learning
@@Madad-yg1td It definitely is. I often use English and Esperanto on the internet. I am fluent at those languages and by using them, my fluency will never decrease. With my Russian girlfriend I sometimes speak Russian.
These videos are amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️ They’ve been helping me a lot!!!!!!
Glad to hear that @ouwu436!
Thanks a lot! It's tremendously useful lesson which I've ever seen in my life. ❤
You're very welcome @user-gz5hy5fk2f!
感謝你。對英語的學習十分有幫助。
I subscribed to your channel several years ago and your videos helped a lot. Thank you so much for making these kind of videos!!!
You're very welcome @user-fw3cf4eg8s!
I enjoy the pronounciation practice of these types of TV show clip videos the most in your videos. While watching, I also try to mimic and practice just like you. I find it both entertaining and higly beneficial. Words are not enough to express my gratitude 💯
I appreciate it @bilalpeynirci9610!
You are amazing teacher. I have never seen a teacher teaching like this method before. Many many thanks.^-^
Thanks for this great feedback @user-jx6zi6zy4l!
Hey Rachel, I'm so glad for the way you teach. I got a perfect American pronunciation due to all your efficient trainings. May God bless you.
You too @laperseveranceetlafoidessa348!
Exellent teacher pure energy pure information pure english no doubt you is pure motivation thank you 😊
My pleasure @franciscojose6496!
Thanks for the tips!
I wish my spoken English could sound like a native speaker.
I’m a Japanese woman living in Japan. My first language is Japanese and English is a foreign language rather than a second language for me.
It’s a bit too difficult for me to pronounce English in conversations like actors and actresses in American TV shows at their natural pace by imitating the sound-linking/reducing/dropping, intonations and stress/no stress that they usually use in such a rhythmical way.
That is because the Japanese language has one vowel and/or one vowel followed by one consonant and we tend to speak it very monotonously.
Speaking of American TV shows, I am a big fan of “Beverly Hills 90210”. I really hope that you will adapt this show to your English teaching videos sometime!
Thanks for sharing @zb5006!
Hi pretty girl, I am interested in your experience. As is well known, in gender relationships, Chinese men are best men, and Japanese women are best women. would you mind follow each other in social APP? we can talk to economy, history, social phenomenon and so on. we can promote spoken English skills level to get progress. I hope you can take notice of this message. I will be attention to see YTB comments every day.
I REALLY LOVE THIS KINDA EXERCISE!

Will be thrilled if you could produce a video about how to pronounce long words, such as legitimately, genuinely, etc. Find them different to pronounce smoothly and natively by properly reducing sounds sometimes. Cheers!

29:20 "And uh, uh [You wear too much...]" seems to be pronounced as [ænd ʌːh ʌx]. The [x] sound is not the sound of x in words like "six", "fix" (that is [ks]), etc., but it is a ch sound in "Loch" and "Bach".
31:52 Does the word THAT make a z sound? I need listen to English on this Holiday. my last challenge. Thank you so much i loved that video.. I'm from Brazil. did you ever visit the Brazil.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked the video! "That" can begin with a Z sound when it's reduced and following a word that ends in a Z sound. For example, "Izzat you?" instead of "Is that you?"
Hi, Rachel. Thank you for making this kind of video! I'm considering whether to subscribe to your Acadademy, but are there more introduction videos like 3:09?

Make an analysis of the star wars movie Raquel. It would very interesting. Frank
Thanks for the suggestion @user-xk4by6cl3u!
« Friends » again, of course. What’s else ??? 😅👍
When linking the "t" to other words like (what + will), (it + goes), (about + you), (about + me). Do I have to raise the tip of my tongue and touch the roof of my mouth or can I just make a glottal stop and remain the tip of my tongue down not touching the roof of my mouth?
You can just make a small glottal stop if you're using a Stop T (if the following word begins with a consonant). If you are linking to "you", you can either use the same Stop T (glottal stop) or the T can change to a CH/TCH sound, in which case you'll need to lift the tongue.
what'll and waddle sound very similar
❤❤❤❤❤
Hello Rachel !
I hope you're doing great!
I have a question,please.
I wonder if you can tell me how I can help my kids differentiate between these two words "cap" and "cab" when hearing them. I mean since the /p/ sound is usually stopped at the end and it's pronounced without that puff of air, and also the voiced /b/ sound is usually not fully released when it's at the end of the word. I know about the vibration in the vocal cords, but I want an easy way to help my kids pronounce and listen to know which word they hear "cap" or "cap", can you help me!
Thank you so much in a advance!
Good question! You are correct that the difference is the vibration. Try having the kids speak "cab" slow motion, with their hands on their lips to feel for vibrations. Because the B is voiced, the vibration can also be felt a bit in the lips. Alternatively, "cap" should have no vibration and will end quickly in the stopped form, even if the word is in slow motion. Hope this helps!
Thank you for your reply Rachel!
But please could you answer this question:
Does the closure of the lips for the /p/ in "cap" is longer and more tense than for the /b/ in "cab" ??

@@rachelsenglish Thank you very much for your reply!
hello Mrs. Rachel, One of my friends insists that it is not very important if we do not follow the pronunciation accurately?
Is it important?
A lot of people study pronunciation with the goal of being better understood when they're communicating. However, how close to an American accent sound a person wants to develop beyond that is a personal choice. Some people choose to work on pronunciation for professional reasons, family reasons, or just to build confidence in their self-expression.
