Thank you so much for this clear tutorial! 😇👍
Glad it was helpful!
A great explanation which I desperately needed for my Spanish-Speaking ESL students. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I finally start getting it right. Can't thank u guys enough 🇳🇬🇳🇬
You're so welcome! Glad it helped you, Mowaju!
@@ellii will as appreciate it if you drop a clip on this sound " ^" as in cup, love e.t.c. Also the vowel sound in the word " girl". 🙏🙏
@@mowajumuyideen7935 Thanks for the great suggestions! We are working on some pronunciation videos for vowel sounds. We will also be doing some shorts with vowels! Here's on short on /i/ as in "heel" vs. /ɪ/ as in "hill" in case it helps: th-cam.com/users/shortsF6L17MxOa6s?feature=share
thanks
My students love your videos! Any chance you could create videos that helps differentiate similar sounds? For example, my students struggle with /sh/ and /ch/ or /s/ and /sh/ (especially at the end of words). Thanks :)
We're happy to hear your students are enjoying our videos! Thanks for the suggestion. In the pronunciation lessons on our site (ellii.com), we always include minimal pair exercises since they are so useful for listening and pronunciation practice. I'm hoping we will do full videos on minimal pairs here too, but in the meantime, we do have many shorts that compare two sounds. Look for the shorts called "Am I saying X or Y?" in this list: www.youtube.com/@ellii/shorts
Hope that helps!
Could you make videos for us about Phonetics?
That's what all our pronunciation videos are! Phonetics is the production of sounds, from the form of the mouth (placement of lips and tongue, etc.) to your vocal cords vibrating (voiced sounds) or not (voiceless sounds).

I can pronounce th songs but i can't distinguish between voiced and unvoiced th. 😞😞
The good news is that you will usually pronounce the voiced or voiceless /th/ naturally because of the sound before it, so don't worry too much. Did you watch our voiced /th/ videos? They might help you compare: th-cam.com/video/JTZgEWNQIIo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZbNMLE6aXdgd8uVz
can you please make a video of how to pronounce "clothes"?
We sure can! We'll make a Short on this soon. Stay tuned!
How will you: describing a feature of English pronunciation that you believe might be difficult for your students, with TH sound? + an activity.
We do all that and more in our pronunciation lessons on Ellii. Learn more at ellii.com
@@ellii do you have a special video on YT or special text to answer my question? :)
@@filippajyrell We don't, but I'll add it to our to-do list!
'Th" is difficult to pronounce to me! I often bite my tongue! 😂
Ouch! Most other languages don't have the "th" sound, so it's a tough one to pronounce for sure.
