Hi dear
I'm Marcos from Brazil.
I've been watching your videos for 4months and my pronunciation became so better. Thank you a lot. Your class is nice and i gotta say that you're gorgeous.
you have really been a great help, I had tongue cancer and lost a 1/4 of it, and some other surgery, that has left me rather speechless. I am getting a lot from your classes.
Hmm, after so many efforts and exploration, now I've come across the channel I am looking for. Really it's worth spending time and very helpful. You are really awesome.
Yes she's killing it! 😃

🥰🥰🥰😍Thank You Mam. Your are my one of most most most favourite mentor of accent. Thanks alot!
thank you so much! ma'am
Great video as always. I know that English is not a phonetic language, but it would be a lot easier if the words you mentioned that really need to be pronounced with a "z" were spelt with a "z" instead.
Imagine the word busy spelt in the dictionary as "buzy". Going even further an replacing the "y" with the "ee" and the "u" with "ih" sound so it becomes "bizee".
It looks so weird seeing it spelt like that. I wonder if we ever get used to if all the words in the dictionary were suddenly replaced with the way it was meant to be spelt.
Yes, my friend, that would be SO much easier! Let's start a movement! 😊

Lol, we should

You are most welcome Buyang Flores! 😊
I wish I could dream with your musical sound in my ears. That way could help me improve my pronunciation and intonation quickly. The melody in "Thursday could work" is not easy to imitate. I am sure to join your next course in May 2021.
Yay! Looking forward to working with you soon! :)

Hi, Keenyn, your lesson was amazing. I enjoyed it and noticed that "s" usually comes between two vowels letters tobe as "Z" sound. AM I RIGHT?
Yes- a fantastic response there, Colin. Thanks so much for sharing!
Not always
Great lesson! Thank you!

Hi dear Coach I love do much
I think there’s a typo @4:45. It should be suRprising instead of suprising. But anyways I think you’re the best pronunciation coach I’ve seen on TH-cam. Your videos are so clear and straight forward. Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Dear Keenyn !
I've been watching your Channel from the beginning to over 100k subscribers, your free pronunciation course solve a lot of mysteries about how the native speakers speak in real world ! i wonder what mic are you using that makes your sound so clear and crisp !
Thanks so much ProBarcode 4603! So glad you are enjoying the lessons! 😊

please turn on the cc captions on TH-cam videos.
Can we pronounce "basic" with "z" sound ? I am confused
Because the rule says if the s comes after a vowel it is pronounced as /z/ so why I hear "basic" with /s/ sound all the time?
