Dear native speakers of English, please help my English pronunciation to get even better. Which words did I mispronounce in this video?
Please in the "reply" part add more words I've mispronounced. Thank you!
===
Words already found:
- retrieve (said "retrive", but has to be "retreev")
- reggae (said "reh-gee, but has to be "reh-geh/rehgay")
- Haiti (said "haaeeti, but has to be "Hay-tee")
- Usain (said "oosain", but has to be 'you-sane")
- accompaniment (put the stress on the wrong syllable, should be on "o")
NB: I studied English in England, so I have British pronunciation as an example to follow, but sometimes it's difficult since I studied other languages and pronunciation gets mixed up. I know my channel is not about English language, but if I don't know about the mistakes I make, how would I fix them? One day I'll hire an editor, until then - you're my editors, thank you! 😊
Hahaha you probably speak better English than most Jamaicans. Lol
@@charlesjames1464 lol, no way. Certainly not better than THE Jamaicans watching this channel ☝🧐
Yuh good Irena ……Reh geh Is a proper patois sound but please please please NOT REH-GAY🙀 …… the last 3 letters is frowned upon in Jamaican culture 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
If I were like you ,I would not be even worrying about pronunciation First of all , I am sure your objective, was to tell the story of Jamaica and how they became a brand , it was not about English grammar! If you live in the UK , AMERICA or CANADA their official language is English and all 3 pronounce the same words differently , even spell some word differently , for instance America spell check and the UK cheque , favor - favour , color - colour , just to name a few ! Who’s to say which one is right and which one is wrong because both country think they are right so girl don’t even worry about it ,just tell your stories , we get it and understand fine what you saying ! 😊❤️
Haiti = Hay-ti
Usain = You - sane
Accompaniment: emphasis on the letter 'o', not the second 'a'
Outstanding job. You said you are a foreigner but make no mistake what you have done for this country thus far make you a daughter of the soil . As a Jamaican I am proud to call you family. Nuff respect
You weirdos!!! When original Jamaicans do this, there is no praise, plus it's a shame that most Jamaicans don't take the time to learn about their people an their culture, allowing these people to come and EXPLOIT Jamaica, Jamaicans, to make huge profits. NOTHING has changed. You mentally enslaved people. SMH. All this woman did was PICK UP a book and scour the web for info, put it together and TELL you people about your country, making a HUGE profit. Like they say, if you want to hide something from black people, put it in a BOOK!!! Too many DUNCE people on this video.
On behalf of the students, I thank you. On behalf of all Jamaicans, I thank you.🇯🇲🇯🇲
WE JAMAICAN 🇯🇲LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU EVER KNOW 💯
I am sure you do!!! Just like how Jamaicans armoured up to go fight for the Queen back in the day, while allowing their people to live in squalor. No love or defense for their people who live and suffer in the inequal society of Jamaica, where most average Jamaican make barely $80 U.S per week, while a decent home cost between $500 U.S per month for a barely equiped small place to over $2,000 U.S per month for a decent place. You all are too busy engaging in applauding everyone who looks nothing like you. If a dark skin Jamaican made this SAME video, the views would be limited and praises small.
Thank you, thank you, so much Irine for helping the Jamaican students retrieving their transcripts. You make me feel so proud to be a Jamaican all over again. And thank you for choosing Jamaica to reside in. You are now a honorary Jamaican 🇯🇲.
The world has no skin colors because God created only human beings. And Irina is one of those people who don't see colors but only humans. I was very sad when I saw the police in Ukraine treating African students inhumanly yes. But in fact, good people are not lacking. I am from Angola and I have lived in Germany for thirty years and I have German nationality and I have done everything and a lot working in Caritas to help users who arrived here in my city of wurzburg-Bayer in distributing clothes for them.
Thank you so much Irina taking the time to assist these students retrieve their documents from Ukraine. I watched the 3 hr documentary and was moved to tears as I listened to each student give us a peek into their journey from a normal day to day student life to the uprooting of their lives and paths to get back to Jamaica. Thank you for everything you do to help bring awareness and education. Thank you and One Love 🇯🇲🇺🇦
🙏
Irina, you are the best. On behalf of those students and the Jamaican people I want to say thanks for your kindness and bravery and willingness in that you helped those students to retrieve their transcript and documents again thanks may God continue to bless you and your family stay sweet!
Thank you Ministry's of Foreign Affairs and Trade Jamaica for your support of Irina in her journey to Ukraine to retrieve documents and transcripts for students who fled.
Thank you for assisting the Jamaican students 🙏🏽abs sharing your experiences 🙏🏽
As Jamaicans we cannot thank you enough for your kindness in helping the Jamaican students retrieve their documents while putting your life in danger to do so. Also thanks for making this positive video telling the story about Jamaica and Jamaicans to the world. You are an ambassador indeed as stated in one of your comments below by onlinegenie. Looking forward to your next video. ✌
Thanks for showing the nice houses and beautiful places of my beautiful island. Many blessings 🙌
You summarise Jamaica 🇯🇲 so well
Our worldwide impact is the best thing about jamaica 💪🏾 likkle but tallawa🇯🇲
Irina, you are an amazing woman and I am proud to be one of your patrons. Your trip to Ukraine deserves a vlog of its own. You are calling Jamaica a brand, well you my friend are a brand ambassador. Thank you!
She's Amazing!! Love her videos ❤️
I don't usually comment on videos but I was moved to do so after watching this video. Excellent tribute to Jamaica 60th celebrations. However, your trip to Ukraine on behalf of the students is remarkable. On behalf of all Jamaicans, I thank you
ABSOLUTELY loved this video and am looking forward to part two. I'm impressed with your English and would love to be one of the ones who would assist you with pronunciations of certain words. I'm also applauding you for the trip to help retrieve documents on behalf of the students. You're so brave and amazing. You made my day.💖
Love you and the respect you show for our country and it's people.. thank you 🤗
Happy to have you back!
Welcome back, Kotter aka Irie Irine🇯🇲... We missed you ❤️
May god keep you on bless your family good work
Wow! You are brave. Thank you for stepping up and helping my fellow Jamaicans. You have reached a new level of credibility. All Jamaicans should be proud of you. I am now living in Canada but love your accurate presentation of life in Jamaica 🙏🏽
you are an amazing person, thanks for helping my brothers and sisters of Jamaica. I am glad you made it safe and return home. nuff luv
So pleased that you mentioned Merlin Otty or is it Otti? Not sure? I recalled how Jamaicans here in the UK, cheered her on. She hardly ever gets a mention anymore, which is sad. Thank you Irina, I enjoyed this video. Good to see you back home.
Welcome back! Miss the content…My most inspiring Jamaican is Donald Quarrie one the best Jamaican sprinter….One Love!
I love this woman deeply and I’ve never met her. Every single post to this channel makes her even more special. I plan to comment on what I think was the greatest achievements in the last 60 years, however the trip to Ukraine 🇺🇦 to collect those documents for people you never knew is just beyond amazing. Literally risking your life to do this words can’t explain how meaningful this is. ❤
Irene ….. and valuable Jamaican Ukrainian, and just world citizen , glad to have you here in Jamaica with us .
Thanks a lot to take it upon yourself to help the students we as Jamaican appreciate it .
Thank you for such informative video about Jamaica post and after independence and the impact Jamaica has on the world,you are a blessing to Jamaica and so thank you for promoting Jamaica in an unbiased way. Also a whole hearted big thank you for doing what you did for those students. Surely this will always be etched in their heart's and their parents knowing that you take the risk, choose to be brave and made the trip and now they can easily continue their education. May God continue to bless you and your family. Stay safe
You did an awesome thing, Irina, in getting the transcripts for the Jamaican students. As I have said before, it was a selfless thing to have done. I hope everyone of those students have personally thanked you...including, the Government of Jamaica.
What you did for the students blew my mind...God bless you and thank you to everyone for supporting this channel. Well done!
Good on you! Thank you for all those you’ve helped God bless you and yours.
Everything about you and about this video is incredible. I am grateful to you for your attitude about Jamaica and Jamaicans. God bless you!
Lady you deserves national recognition.
Irina, you are a honorary citizen who have done so much for the Jamaican students, documenting their stories and now retrieved their conscripts. You are so blessed 🙌 😇 one love ❤️
One of the most important contribution Jamaicans gave to the world is the teachings of Marcus garvy..black pride and self reliance..thank you for another excellent vlog..one love..Jamaica love 🇯🇲❤️..continue your great work...blessings 🙏🏾
Absolutely, and there will be a separate episode on this. With the "60 years of independence" videos the focus is on what has been achieved during the years of independence, which is from 1962 to 2022.
Agreed. When you study Black history and liberation (in the US at least) Marcus Garvey has a central role.
@@faithm2535 not just in the us...his principals are behind the pan-African movement..
I would love it if Irine does a video of the late great Marcus Garvey. Currently reading the philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey. What a read!!
@@rosered4650 I agree with you. I did an independent study on Marcus Garvey in college in the US and what a tremendous discovery it was for me. I was so proud but depressed at the same time that Garveyism is not promoted more by Jamaica’s education system
your a special special type of soul ire ❣❣🇯🇲🇺🇦....🥳🥳so happy to be apart of this family on TH-cam...stay strong and stay blessed..see you in the nxt vid #gloryto🇺🇦
good to see you back. hope all.is well and your family is safe.
What you did for those students was awesome. You do have a big heart.
Thank for what you did for the Jamaican students! You are a very kind and brave lady.
Welcome back Irina! Always appreciate your coverage of my country 🇯🇲 Going back to a war torn zone… That was brave of you. Thank you for what you did for those student.
Thank you so much for your selfless act! 🙏🙏🫂💕. You are indeed an honorary Jamaican!💗🇯🇲🇯🇲💗🇺🇦
Sister Irie, what you did was extraordinary, by any measure, and deserves some sort official recognition and thanks.
No doubt it's unnecessary to say given the consistently superior quality of your work, but please remember Marcus Garvey, whose impact on Civil Rights cannot be overstated.
Much, much love.
Thank you so much! With the "60 years of independence" videos the focus is on what has been achieved during the years of independence, which is from 1962 to 2022. As for Marcus Garvey and his impact on the world - there will be a separate documentary on this, of course. 🙏
Irina you have done an extraordinary job in covering Jamaica's culture.
Great video!! Authentic and candid representation of Jamaica.
Welcome back Irina! Of course you didn’t disappoint with yet another interesting and educational video 👏🏼. Also, I’m so grateful to you for assisting the students in obtaining their documents. Blessings to you as always.
Thank you for been apart of the family out of many we are one people thank you irie
Jamaica is where I was born and having left several decades now it’s wonderful to learn more about the positive things that are unique about Jamaica/Jamaicans. Sadly, most of the discussions, news and coverage on Jamaica is generally negative (crime, crime, crime). Your videos have given us so many reasons to be proud of Jamaica. You consistently focus on the positive, factual aspects which make Jamaica shine. We appreciate your hard work. You earn my respect for your excellent reporting.
welcome back and thank you
I would say you’re crazy, but actually what I mean is you’re very brave. Hats off to you. To be going into a city that’s being shelled everyday😩 I’m glad you’re okay, and you made it back safe.
Wow, Irene thank you so much for helping those Jamaicans students that is just awesome thank you so much 👍☺️
Jamaica is Iconic!
May Jah continue to watch over & protect U, Irina!! Very appreciative of what you did for those students & for all the positive lights you paint Jamaica in! Blessing as always, Sis! ~ 514-Lena B.
Thank you for putting into action the words of the Jamaican pledge "the advancement of the whole human race". It is obvious that you respect our people and love our country. Your country now my sister. Thank you for giving us an informed and balanced view of ourselves. You can't find a more patriotic set of people in the Jamaican diaspora. Sadly many at home focus only on what's wrong. I'm glad my friend introduced me to your channel. Blessings!
As a Jamaican living america,Irina, you are the best sister ,thank you for loving my country and making your home you and your family
Always enjoy your documentaries Irene👍🇨🇦
That was very considerate of you, to go back to Ukraine to get those student transcript ! I am sure those student and their parents appreciate what you did , I also appreciate you doing that ! 3 thumps 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿up to you !
God bless and protect you Irina for having a wonderful heart, in helping and putting yourself on the frontline to help those students in such a complicated web of bureaucracy, always glad to support you. It's a win to bring the two countries, to mutual understanding. God bless the Ukrainian people, through these trying times..
Welcome back!
Visiting family in jamaica in a few weeks! Its been 16 years. ..Can't wait. Thank you for all your educational videos..looking to explore this amazing country again ! Xxx
Irina should be a Jamaican embassidor or diplomat as she represents us to us and the world. Inducted in Jamaica's Hall of Fame of journalism. I love this woman, and although I know Jamaica in a way she may not, I still learn from her
You forget Marcus Garvey. Live have improve from them to now. You are a plus to this country.
Thank you! With this video I am just focusing on the years of independence from 1962 to 2022. For Marcus Garvey - there will be a separate full documentary on him and the impact he had on the world. 🙏
Irina thanks so much for assisting these Students in getting their documents so that they can continue their studies,you are a real gem.I was wondering how you took so long to post a video,I had a feeling that you probably went back to Ukraine. Thanks again Daughter of Jamaica 🇯🇲 And Ukraine, Glory to Ukraine.
Irena, you are amazing! Jamaica's government should have offered you the transportation funds for such a dangerous but important work. Thank you for the wonderful service you are doing 😊 🙏🇺🇲🇯🇲
Thanks again for another great video. I was wondering what happened to you, now I know. I always look forward to to your videos, because you do such great informative videos. It seems like it was quite a task getting all those students documents, thank you for doing so. I am sure the students are grateful to you for doing so. I hope you will become a Jamaican citizen soon. Blessed you.
Omg! Thank you Irena for doing such great job we love you and miss you.❤💕👍🇨🇦
