guys I have a telegram group to talk and practice English together if anyone wants to come 😌🙌welcome...the links in (about) in my channel I really really hope that all of you come and let's have fun❤ ...... Ronnie please come my best teacher ever❤❤
I just realised that Ronnie has been teaching English on TH-cam for 10 years. She started in February 2009. Ronnie: I want to say thank you for all the effort you have put in making these videos. Please, please, keep uploading new videos. Greetings from Colombia.
Finally I found the "T Rules" for AmE (American English). Just a couple of weeks of hard working and I'll be speaking as a native (US). Thanks Ronnie for uncover them.
Hi Ronnie! Just came upon your channel. As a native English speaker (American US) I didn't realize all these subconscious rules regarding the letter T. I just want to make an observation though when the T is at the end of a word, as in your example of Hat and Mat. The T is actually pronounced, but very quietly to the point of sounding silent. That's my perception, at least. Here, the T at the end of "least " can be silent altogether, depending on one's variation of his or her accent (I just used several word examples right now without realizing at first!). I respect your video content. Keep it up!
Going through your channel, it's been 13 years of awesomeness, your teachings are amazing. I don't understand why am just seeing this channel for the first time, okay I'll just assume am new on TH-cam in order not to beat myself too much. Thank you so much
7:40 I'm just glad I'm not the only one who finds it hard to understand sometimes when people say can/can't. I'm relieved to know that even native speakers may have the same difficulty.
What teachers and books don't teach in years, you, Roni,, did it in 12 minutes,,,,!!! In mi opinion you are the best English teacher I have ever known,,,!!!
For us, who speak spanish, when the "t" is between the vowels like Ability, computer, etc; we don't have to replace the "t" soud for a "d", but we must have to replace it for an "r" sound in spanish :), But Ronnie, thank you for your tips. Your videos really help me to improve my english.
@@hijugontis what he means is that what the teacher calls "D" sound, for us who speak spanish, it sounds more like our "r", like when we say "cara"(face), for example (not when we say "perro"(dog) or "ratón"(mouse), that's another type of "r")
@@carlactym7835 thank you. still a bit confused tho haha my native language is slavic so we have the rolling R and “perro” and “raton” i get (i hope) but i can not get the difference between the two R’s you guys seem to have. how do you form the other R, that sounds more like D? :) also what confuses me more is that i asked my mexican friend to explain this to me and she said that just rolling it like i do in my language is right, but for example for “cara” you roll it once and for “carro” roll it twice or more.. 😬🙏🏻
@@hijugontis hahaha yeah the 'soft r' sound it's a little bit confusing, think of the american english pronunciation of the T sound in words like water, the teacher in this video calls it a D sound, but in spanish that T sound is actually how our 'soft r' sounds. So you'll see you're not actually rolling your tongue to make it, or you could maybe see it like one "soft roll", try to take that T sound you make in words like water (american english pronunciation) and put it in spanish words like cara, pero(but), morado(purple) and see how it sounds
Ronnie, I have a huge problem with T pronunciation. I am Spanish and I used to live in England and learned British pronunciation. Now I live in the US and I am studying for the TOEFL, and relearning this pronunciation is so hard!! In some words I can do the American sound, but in others it is impossible, it doesn't come naturally. People here look at me like I don't know how to speak and most of the people find my accent very strange LOL.Thanks for this video :)
I think you are so funny. Your sense of humor is used at the appropriate time and is the right amount in every lesson. I am a Jamaican who loves your lessons. Big ups!
Ronnie, I've been living with my Canadian husband for 4 years. I am Colombian and just now, with this lesson, I can be clear about his pronunciation. I was trying to figure out between the R or D with the T. It is crazy, ins't it?
Great video ! As a native English speaker who is also learning a foreign language, I too have been inspired to start creating content on TH-cam to help people with their English. I wish you continued success on your channel!
This "T" sound IS actually the short "R" sound as pronounced by Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish etc. speakers. Technically, it is called the "alveolar tap" and has the IPA symbol [ɾ]. You can read and listen to it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_and_alveolar_flaps
What,I have to say you are the best teacher have never seen before. I love your lessons. Thank you for all for your dedication for us.I from Moçambique.
I've never written a comment on youtube before but at this moment I decide to tell you, thank you very much. I am preparing for my TOEFL test this year, and I realized that you always teach us the common English student mistakes and please keep do it for us we really need it, thank you and thank you. from Mauritania
If you're learning English in Scotland, you'll notice that we often use the silent t pronunciation in words like water and better. So we would say wa'er instead of wadder or water. I understand why people struggle with Scottish accents, we have some pretty weird pronunciations!
I enjoyed too much this video for two reasons: 1) Because I'm spanish speaker native and understanding differences in how pronounce word like Dirty and similars words, has been a big headache for me specially when I have to talk using them; and, 2) Because you explained the pronunciations so funny and so emphatically, that I'm very thankful for that.
hi Ronnie, you funny and authentic teacher😂 the "t" needs a new regulation, or a new revolution in the grammar of english-language. the poor t's they want to be also included in the pronunciations. too pity that they get avoided, Ronnie 🤔. i think that, as an english-learner, sentences with "t's" sound more grounded, solidified, serious, sharp and clear. if we, with respect, drop all these beautiful "t's", it would sound so wobbly. don't you think a language should sounds clear and pure in order to be understandable? with respect, Ronnie, thank you for this beautiful lesson🤓
Great and amazingly important video, Ronnie! I lived in Canada for 10 years and I found it completely crazy to switch all my t's into d's, so I did it sporadically, in the words such as 'bottle', battle, and thirty, but just couldn't force myself to say a 'd' in the words batter, matter, and would never ever put a 'd' in the word 'university'. I changed my t sound somewhat even in those words, so they sounded somewhere between a 't' and a 'd', but it never became a 'd'.
Honourable ma'am, These videos are very important for us . You are very influential teacher . We are learning very well by you. We thank you so much our bottom of heart.
you are genius teacher of english.. and yes,, my english accent is so bad. and I'm superexcited to make my accent brilliant but I could not get it perfectly. and hope now this video would be helped me on my accent.
Ronnie, you are the best English teacher, easy to understand and funny, keep up a good job. I love to watch your videos clips to improve my English speaking
This is a very good lesson .I'm cuban, my native language is spanish and it might not be a big deal for many immigrants but for me,i'd really like to sound like a canadian or an american native ,therefore you can't get wrong with these lessons ,they help a lot,i really appreciate it.God bless teacher.
Thanks for this instructions. I was confusing with these pronunciation water, better.... with sound d when first came to America well before internet time. We are now very luck to learn everything on TH-cam.
justamente por se preocupar com gramáticas, normativas, ortografia, sintaxes que as pessoas ficam 10 anos ou mais e não são capazes de manter uma comunicação em uma língua estrangeira. Ninguém fala corretamente, nem mesmo os nativos.
A plethora of teacher in the world I have mesmerised on u,I love someone reaching however now I like u,recapitulate matter is that u r the best teacher in the world. My mind have no dilema to choose u.
@@Noor0abc90 Thank you so much, Eleen. That's very kind of you! i appreciate that and i'm really grateful to you. and as you may know we love and welcome all the countries of the world. Thanks dear ! ❤😗😗😗
Oh lord. You just opened a world of understanding for me. I'm not a native speaker, so I never really paid any attention to any of this details about american English before (even though it is the one I've always been taught). It might have been one of my greatest struggles when I arrived to the US ready to start my first job after college; sometimes people don't even understand you if you don't pronounce the T with their accent
I love your teaching style, and how you don't take yourself too seriously! I remember my brother telling me about when he was living in Canada, and he was talking about a Pontiac to an American. He must have said it about 5 times, until the person said "Ah, Pawniac?" They literally didn't understand the word when the 'T' was sounded! :)
I'm becoming addicted to you Ronnie! Your phonetics classes are far more clear and funny than those of my phonetics teacher. I don't use to subscribe but I do now. Greetings from Argentina!
First of all I'd like to thank you for this huge effort, how you explain with very simple method and funny too that's make me not boring when I was watching your interesting lessons .
Ednaldo Oliveira Lima This is a historical fact rather than a matter of modern pronunciation. The ending -tion for nouns and -tional for adjectives comes from Latin. Purists of Latin say that two thousand years ago it would have probably be pronounced as a real ‘t’ sound or as an Italian ‘z’. Vulgar Latin, which was the Latin spoken by the soldiers who conquered new territories at that time, introduced the -ation suffix in every territory. But if you take a look, every Roman new language developed the suffix in several different ways. Today the words remain , but we could easily tell where you are just because of the way you say informatio, -onis: In French it sounds /ãn foh ma siõ/ with a bright ‘s’ sound. In Portuguese it sounds like an ‘s’ but similar to a French one. In Spanish it also sounds whether with an ‘s’ sound or with a ‘th’ sound, so the Academy decided to replace the T for a C. In Italian it sounds like a ‘ts’ so they use the spelling with a Z instead of a T. In English the sound developed into a kind of ‘sh’ sound but keeping the original Latin spelling. As you can see, this phenomenon is more of a cultural and historical one.
Phonetically saying, it's like a d. Because of the fast way we pronounce it. But in real life, for us Portuguese and Spanish speakers, and maybe other languages, we transform this sound like an R, so we can make it easily.
The d sound in spanish..you kind of stick your tongue out. like a "th" sound in english. The d sound in english is made with the tongue behind your front upper teeth.
You are so good at teaching. I have enjoyed all the lessons you have taught.You are really a nice teacher.We can learn a great number of new things from you. Thank you very much indeed
THANK YOU Sooo much ...only 4 minutes watching this video and now I understand why some times it’s for me is soo difficult speak English in US ... love the way you teach: funny and simple FANTASTIC! Totally fan🤩
This is the first time I watch one of your videos, you are awesome, excellent teacher, funny and beautiful. I have understood all your explanations, I am not a native English speaker as you can tell, but I’m always doing my best to improve.
I was born in 90's Brooklyn ,I wasn't aware of having an accent until I moved out to long island, Levittown. And in some 9th grade class bc of my vocabulary, i stood out hard, some kid asked "where am I from?"It took a full year to pick up on their choice of vocabulary but I haven't lost my accent completely.
you are a great tracher! not only about English, but your style ,you are funny and very nature, I can understand all your lesson easily, it really helps me easy to learn the TRUE English!!
Thnankou so much ma,am . I was finding many u tube channels and lessons for pronounciation but now I am felling very delite to take ur lessons u r awesome I wanna learn american accent . I am in 8 standard 😍
I do not agree with rule (guideline) No. 4. The "T" does not go silent. It gets a really soft sound, almost silent. But for me, it DOES have a sound. Maybe if one is talking really fast, this rule applies. Never the less, It is a very good information. Thank you for sharing.
Ronnie Ma'am I have been watching the videos of English teachers on TH-cam .But your language of teaching, informal way is really helpful &easy to understand.in your videos basic techniques are also are taught. thanks for bringing videoes.no doubt they are useful but not enough for speaking fluently. Could you please provide some material for that? Thanks.
Thanks for teaching...I'm an Indian and it was really important for me because whenever I used to say wader instead of water everyone used to ask that why I say like this...and now I got the solid answer...😍
Hello Ronnie. I am a your new follower, and as I mentioned yesterday I started to watch your videos as I am learning English. I am from Colombia, I like the creative and spontaneous way you teach. Thank you so muchfor the videos.
Well, i studied British English for many years, but i ve been watching american movies since i have memory Now im brushing up on my english again, mainly with a british teacher and i was wonderimg why do i pronounce Ts on the way you ve just explained. Crazy.

Also in spanish
Phonetically saying, it's like a d. Because of the fast way we pronounce it. But in real life, for us Portuguese and Spanish speakers, and maybe other languages, we transform this sound like an R, so we can make it easily.
The d sound in spanish..you kind of stick your tongue out. like a "th" sound in english. The d sound in english is made with the tongue behind your front upper teeth.
Also in Ukraine and Russia
Best teacher ....👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
North Americans: Let’s have some “wadder”
Rest of the world: you mean “waTER”

I was born in 90's Brooklyn ,I wasn't aware of having an accent until I moved out to long island, Levittown. And in some 9th grade class bc of my vocabulary, i stood out hard, some kid asked "where am I from?"It took a full year to pick up on their choice of vocabulary but I haven't lost my accent completely.
Thank you Ronnie you make it easy for me to learn English. You are funny I like that. You are a free Spirit. Keep it up. Take care God bless you.
One of the best teachers in the world to teach English.

I do not agree with rule (guideline) No. 4. The "T" does not go silent. It gets a really soft sound, almost silent. But for me, it DOES have a sound. Maybe if one is talking really fast, this rule applies. Never the less, It is a very good information. Thank you for sharing.
I really loved this explanation, now many word pronunciations make sense
I really love Canadian accent. I'm planning to move to Toronto for college
Ronnie Ma'am I have been watching the videos of English teachers on TH-cam .But your language of teaching, informal way is really helpful &easy to understand.in your videos basic techniques are also are taught. thanks for bringing videoes.no doubt they are useful but not enough for speaking fluently. Could you please provide some material for that? Thanks.
Ronnie is an excellent English teacher !
Thanks for teaching...I'm an Indian and it was really important for me because whenever I used to say wader instead of water everyone used to ask that why I say like this...and now I got the solid answer...😍
