    “Learn how to use your mouth better”?!

      Pronunciation of any language is all about using the mouth and speech organ, learning to use new muscle groups. To learn Arabic one needs to learn to use the throat in new ways or “better” for ain, ghain, qaaf, etc.

      @@annaamericanaccent9184 I wish that is what you said. What I heard is an American centric and overly judgmental and simplistic view of the issue (and particularly of Arabic grammar which you kindly felt necessary to explain to native Arabic speakers)

      @@smmm1968 I appreciate your comment and am sorry to have offended you or anyone else. The consonant cluster aspect is something that affects Arabic-speakers when approaching English words in a really significant way. Obviously all Arabic-speakers know their own language, but they may not be aware how they transfer certain aspects into English. My tips are based on 20 years of primarily teaching peninsula Arabs and the difficulties those students have had in my classes whether beginning or high intermediate, even advanced in some cases. Your English is obviously exceptionally good, so this video did unfortunately not meet your needs. Hopefully some other video (like the 4 pitch levels of English or Dropping the H) is more helpful to you. Best wishes in your perfection of English!
