You are a wonderful woman to teach pronunciation sounds. Being a non-native it was a difficult task to pronounce the English sounds but you helped me to understand a lot. I'm not perfect even now in pronunciation but I got confidence that I could improve a lot and I hope gradually even I could pronounce like a native speaker. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
This was the best I've seen so far. You took your time and explained it step by step, not super fast as if we all know what you're talking about and its very helpful =. Thank you
Hi Emma You're a superb English teacher. To me you are the best pronunciation teacher in the world. I really enjoy your video lessons because not only you are outstandingly brilliant in your teaching approach, but also because you're such a sweet and candid person that engage your audience right away with your highly valuable and excellent content. Thank you very much indeed.
I reckon world is the most difficult word for non natives to pronounce. I listen to lots of BBC podcasts and often they have guest from other countries, and although most of them have an advanced level of English, they still struggle with 'world'. Thank you for another great lesson!
OMG - I've lived in the UK most of my life and even though I knew I was pronouncing "girl" wrong, after watching your video it made it so much easier! Thank you for taking the time to make these incredibly helpful videos on pronunciation!
I really liked. I'm a Brazilian and I have learned English my entire life in the American accent way. Never could I find content demonstrating how it'd be in British English and that's what I'm after. It's quite weird to understand American English almost perfectly and have difficulties in international tests because most of them are done in British (if not the entire test, great part of it). Thanks
I’m a student who’s is trying to get British accent and of course now learning the phonetic symbols.Your videos are really great and very useful for me.Love you,dear Emma😍.
I really wanna Learn your pronunciation, I'm enthusiastic to get such type of significant & Ammazing phonetic Sounds in my life.you are awesome Teacher I'm proud of you.(from Bangladesh)
You have no idea how helpful this is. Thank you for everything you do for us Emma and it's a great to have you to share the greatful videos and your thoughts. So thanks again .😊👍👏👏👏
Blimey! I thought the last video was the better one, but then you just came up with the best of the best! Lol There’s no words to thank you for this new video! It’s simply outstanding, astoundingly perfect! I will thank you for the rest of my life!!!!!!!
Thanks for the video Emma! Can you make a video about the pronunciation of the -sts and -sks endings? Like in the words "vests", "tasks". I want to know the correct way to pronounce them!!
I love your picture at the beginning 😄 and thanks for the video, I used to hate these words, but it's turned that they are not so difficult as I thought😊
Hi Emma! I really admire your work here on TH-cam, I can see you're so dedicated to it and I hope you'll get all the love you derserve for your work! :) When I need to brush up on my English pronunciation (I'm italian), I always watch your videos, they're so clear and well made! I wonder if you could make a video in which you explain the schwa sound..... I still have some trouble with it... And to me it sounds very alike to this one /ɜː/.... Yes, I'm a bit confused... Anyway, thank you for your amazing videos, keep it up, you're really great (as a person and as a teacher). Big hug from Italy :)
OMG Having lived in London 6 years, I know the struggle with this sound is real for non-native speakers... we don´t have that sound in our language which makes it f*** complicated. Great video, I never got it explained this way, I wish there was TH-cam back in 2006 when I moved to London and started studying my uni degree, this would have saved my life in many presentations talking in front of native speakers that sometimes looked at me like :O what the hell is she saying? :D LOL
Hello Emma. Thank you for the amazing videos and explanations!! Your videos help me a lot to improve my pronunciation. Could you do a video with the differences between ¨Father¨ and Further¨ because I have problem in mixing those words. Thanks a lot for doing those videos for us..
Thanks for your lessons Emma. Your lessons are very well explained and focused on pronunciation too which I enjoy learning more and more. Love your accent and am also interested to see you speaking Portuguese if you don't mind. Well done and i am here from now on. 🙌
Emma, I like your explanation of stressed schwa vowel or stressed neutral or centering vowel sound. In most of Asian or Eastern countries, there's no vowel sound like this. Thank you so much.
Two things: first, finally I've learnt what a dark "l" is. Thank you for that. Also, I've noticed that you roll your r sound quite well. Do you speak Spanish? Hope you have an amazing weekend as well. Thanks for the video.
I love your every lesson I always wanted to learn English l love English language from my bottom of my heart correct me if i wrong please and I from India northeast meghalaya lndia loves you a lot I never had a teacher like you
Hi Emma. It would be very interesting if you could make another video comparing this sound with another that, at least to Spanish speakers, seems very similar to us: /ə/ . Thank you. All the best.
That was a really useful video, Thank you so much, Emma. I should admit that the last sentence was a bit tricky, so I pronounced it thrice to produce the same sound as yours. I suppose the difficulty in English is that word spelling is not always the same as its pronunciation. Luckily, I've recently started learning some pronunciation tricks and tips in addition to dedicating some time to listen to English podcasts daily to tune my ears. Gladly, I can see some progress in my listening comprehension. Thanks again!
love your video! It's really inspiring! thank you Emma! I am now teaching phonics and need to present "L""R" sounds without a schwa. Would you do a video for that sound?
hey Emma, a question i just thought of: when it comes to pronunciation, is the majority of the focus in the lips or in the jaw? does that make sense? i.e. are the lips the focal point of pronunciation? or does it start in the jaw positioning? or, perhaps, is it a combination of the two?
@@Pronunciationwithemma i'd saw lips? lol i know you meant " i'd say* lips " i'm just being funny :-) i really do appreciate your advice Emma, i love your videos and all your explanations on British English pronunciation :-)

Why is it that the OED (Oxford English Dictionary) doesn't know /ɜː/ but uses /əː/ instead? I have just started learning IPA for university and I am really confused. Are both /ɜː/ and /əː/ correct or is one of them false (which one)? Or does it just depend on the dictionary? It would be really nice if you could help me. :)

Nice job Emma, you make English so easy!
Thanks for the video Emma!
Can you make a video about the pronunciation of the -sts and -sks endings? Like in the words "vests", "tasks". I want to know the correct way to pronounce them!!
Sidra Guy sure! Consonant clusters is something on my list for the future. I’ll get through this vowel series first though :)
Thanks for helping me learning emma..
I'm taking advantage of the quarantine to binge watch your videos, and I want to improve my pronunciation because I love the British accent
My words can't Express my thinks to Emma so thank you very much. We need more
Hi, Emma! Could you tell us when we don't pronounce R inside he words, please? Thanks a lot!
I love your picture at the beginning 😄 and thanks for the video, I used to hate these words, but it's turned that they are not so difficult as I thought😊
Nope! With a bit of practise and tuning your brain into hearing SOUND instead of reading LETTER and SPELLING, it becomes easier! :)
Thank so much 👍👍👍
Wish ya a million subscribers by the end of the Year beautiful Emma.
This is extremely useful! :)
I like how you manage to find all the biggest problems and address them spot on!
Hello Emma,
I would love to see a video about contraction’s pronunciation (I’ve, I’ll, he’s, he’d, etc). Thank you for your hard work! :)
It’s on the list :)
Nicely done! I stayed in London for a year and I always wanted to find a source for a good British pronunciation. Thanks a lot.
Thank you Emma, it was really awesome as always 💓🌷
Thanks for info your attitude very good I like it , actually I am Bangladeshi
Thanks, Faruk! Glad I can help!

I really learned some new stuffs of pronunciation and bdw you are so gorgeous
Hello Emma. Thank you for the amazing videos and explanations!! Your videos help me a lot to improve my pronunciation. Could you do a video with the differences between ¨Father¨ and Further¨ because I have problem in mixing those words. Thanks a lot for doing those videos for us..
the letter th here corresponds to the letter z, which you can say by biting the tip of your tongue.
Fa, zər = Father
Für, zər = further
Fa, zər = Father
Für, zər = further
I've just discoveres this channel by chance, it helps me to pronounce dark L correctly that i've been struggling with. You're my angle

Pronunciation with Emma Thanks so much for getting back to me! I will really look forward to your wonderful lessons!
Thank you ma'am. Love you 🍓

Oh my God why is so difficult!? This is so helpful!!!
Thank you very much Emma 💯😊
One day, I watched "Popeye the Sailorman". In that film, Olive addressed a girl with this pronunciation: /geəl/ and not with regular /gɜːl/.
hey Emma, a question i just thought of: when it comes to pronunciation, is the majority of the focus in the lips or in the jaw? does that make sense? i.e. are the lips the focal point of pronunciation? or does it start in the jaw positioning? or, perhaps, is it a combination of the two?
I’d saw lips and tongue are the most important, but really, the lips, tongue, and jaw are all very important :)
@@Pronunciationwithemma i'd saw lips? lol i know you meant " i'd say* lips " i'm just being funny :-) i really do appreciate your advice Emma, i love your videos and all your explanations on British English pronunciation :-)
