"Every language has its own music!" Agree! I didn't know that "English is stress-timed language, stressed sounds take a bit longer to say, and all the unstressed sounds are shorter and they happen off beat. "So these longer and shorter sounds create a rhythm" What a great lesson! Thank you!
Thank you Jennifer . i deeply appreciate what you do for us . Imagine ! I live in the desert of the empty quarter " North of Yemen" and due to your effective methodology and lessons i make progress everyday despite the fact that i have never been abroad or communicated with a native speaker . It is a self-study effort + your lessons . Thank you once again .
Thank you, Jennifer, although each lesson is pretty short, every word is useful. Your lessons are a treasure to the English Learner, I really hope the more people will come to your lesson.
I thought very good teachings about the english language that I was learning...I ever learned advanced intermediate and basic levels in english and I am implementating the english I know with the videos now. Thank you for many english knowledge videos about good and betterings in english language. I as a student liked a lot even now. And I hope I can learn much of more in deeping the idiom of english I do in my course!!! And in about english you do in your course...with me studying!!!

You're amazing and your teaching is fantastic. I'm gonna learn so much because of you and I really appreciate the effort you've put into creating this series ☺️
I have been using entire series at different levels, both Grammar and Phonetics . My students are fans, they find your explanations easy to underrstand. I use my own examples and prepare my own classes and use your videos as support material or homework. Thanks again!!!!!
Thanks Jennifer! I have a big problem with intonation because French is not a stress-timed language. So I'm looking forward to watch the next videos! :)
Yes, it's something very different. My husband (a Russian native speaker) studied French at his university as his first foreign language. English was his second. To this day he sometimes makes mistakes with stress, especially word stress. I suspect it could be the influence of French! I hope you'll find this series useful. :) Enjoy the weekend.
Hello, dear Teacher Jennifer, how' it going? I couldn't find any topic about phonics so that I got to leave my words here. Someone asked me aspirated allophones about /st/ .... I just know /k/, /p/, /t/ after /s/ are unaspirated allophones. But they insisted that /st/ in obstacle isn't. What should I do? Appreciate it.
Yes, I agree with you. I'm referring to Accurate English by Rebecca M. Dauer. She confirms that /p, t, k/ aren't aspirated after /s/ in words like spot, stand, scan. Have your friends put their fingers in front of their mouth. They'll feel the puff of air when they say: pot, can. They won't feel that same puff when they say: spot, scan. I've demonstrated similar practices on Instagram. instagram.com/englishwithjenniferlebedev/
Please also check out my Oral Reading Fluency series here on YT. 15 of the texts are on my app. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digitalcrafthouse.englishwithjenniferalarm apps.apple.com/app/english-with-jennifer/id1503941354
Jennifer, here is a list of words: What I noticed is that the i in ible reads in some words as 1. strong i ble, in some as 2. small i ble, or 3. short schwa ble and 4. long schwa ble. 1. illegible; incredible; suggestible;feasible; contemptible; susceptible; convertible; flexible; ostensible; tangible; 2. eligible; invincible; negligible; 3. responsible; reversible; 4. gullible; terrible; horrible; plausible. I selected more conservative forms (stroger i being the most conservative one, longer schwa being the lest conservative) because I suppose it is about the weak vowel merger. Still, what do you advise us, ESL learners? I guess a unique pronunciation for -ible (and -able) is preferable.
Hi. I think it's simplest to see -ible/-able endings as /əbəl/. It's unstressed. Some interesting thoughts on these suffixes: blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2012/10/23/ibles-and-ables/
+NachO San Hi. There are some differences in intonation. I'm not the best person to ask. You might visit my colleague Vicki from Simple English Videos and ask that question. She's from the U.K., but she lives here in the U.S.
Have you worked with my Fast Speech Challenge videos? The first few cover linking. Also, you may like working with the Oral Reading Fluency texts. They start slow and then get a bit faster. englishwithjennifer.com/students/yt-videos/
Hello,I have noticed that some people don´t pronunce the letter t in words such us internet or center (inernet or cener).When you talk in this way it could be and informal way to talk? thanks for your help.
Hi. Yes, Americans often drop the T in words like "center" and "internet." See Day 17 in this series. th-cam.com/play/PLfQSN9FlyB6SEBVnec8LYuyLRvq3OcT-x.html It's less formal, but it's still okay for a work or school setting.
Another wonderful video! Thank you so much, Jennifer - my students and I love your videos. They're so helpful and your speech is always so well articulated and easy to understand.
Hello Annie! I've played a little in past lessons. :) I'm not great, but I enjoy it. I remember playing for the lesson on the stative passive and for the introduction to verb tenses. (If you're curious!)
There can be. But generally, the falling intonation pattern holds pretty strong for statements. I'm not a specialist on the differences, but it would be a fun lesson to include in the future. I'll talk to some of my UK colleagues, okay? ;)
We would sound like the Go-animate characters. i have noticed some video creators use a robotic voice generator to deliver information and even to teach. I prefer a real person reading out information with the intonations.
Ha! I know what you mean. You know what annoys me on days I have little patience? It's the automated recordings on the phone. It takes 1-2 minutes to state all your preferences before you get to a representative. The whole time some lady is trying to make you feel like you're getting personal attention, but the pre-recorded statements don't come across as genuine at all despite the clear pronunciation and intonation. "So you need to schedule an appointment. If that's correct, say yes. If not, say no." .... "Okay, so that's not correct. Let's start again. What is the reason for your call? You can say 'appointment, billing, my account, or something else.' " Sound familiar? :)
hello, Madam Jennifer. i'm very interesting with your Lesson. I hope with this video can help me, how to speak english clearly and confident. Nice to meet you.
Could you recommend any software programm for comparison two audio tracks in terms of pronunciation, thythm, stress and etc. and display it on the screen? The first track is the pattern, a word or a phrase spoken by a person. The second is a try to mimic the first track by me.
If you have access to editing software, that's easy enough to do. Just put the two audio clips on tracks 1 and 2 and compare. I use Camtasia Studio, but any video editor should allow you to do this.
@@Englishwithjennifer Thanks a lot. Unfortunately, my record is so much different than it is absolutely impossible to compare it with a timeline of a source file.
Hey Jennifer. Happy new year! And great video as always. I'm looking forward to seeing the series. I'd like to ask you something. We know that after ch, k, sh sounds, the ed is pronounced with a t, like in watched, liked and washed. But I've heard many times that they don't pronounce the whole word. So if they said: I watched the show last night. They'd sound like I watch the show, without the ed sound. Is this true? Thanks in advance! :)
Hi Danilo. That final T isn't aspirated, meaning there's no big puff of air, so it's harder to detect than a T at the beginning of a word like TIME. But we don't (or shouldn't!) drop the /t/ sound in an -ed ending.
your 're wonderful teacher but i have a question? how can i speak fluent like a native speaker and what's your advice to speak English good Thanks alot Jennifer
Hi. In English, the letters can represent more than one sound. You have to learn the different spelling patterns to understand what letters represent. For example, a double consonant after a vowel will usually make the vowel a short one rather than a long one: apple, matter, Daddy, sassy, etc.
Jennifer, you're amazing, love your videos! They would be so much better if the audio quality was a little better though! I guess you need a better microphone, or to process the videos in a different platform... idk what happens, all of your videos seem to have this problem but besides that, your work is admirable!
Thanks for the feedback, Henrique. Yes, I'm still mastering the technology. Little by little, I try to make improvements. Thank you for your patience and understanding. :)
Intonation is a change in pitch within a thought group. A high pitch or a low pitch can be a single sound. We often use a higher pitch on a stressed syllable. That sound (the stressed vowel sound) is higher than others. Hope that makes sense. I'll go live at 2 PM today (Boston) with another English teacher on Instagram. His IG name is teacher_dehnavi. We'll talk a bit about pronunciation. Hope you can join us.
"Every language has its own music!" Agree! I didn't know that "English is stress-timed language, stressed sounds take a bit longer to say, and all the unstressed sounds are shorter and they happen off beat. "So these longer and shorter sounds create a rhythm" What a great lesson! Thank you!

Hello Jennifer, is there a difference in British and American Intonation patterns???
There can be. But generally, the falling intonation pattern holds pretty strong for statements. I'm not a specialist on the differences, but it would be a fun lesson to include in the future. I'll talk to some of my UK colleagues, okay? ;)
thank you!!
Happy New Year. You are touching on a very important subject here: the art of speech. Without it we would sound robotic.
So true. Where would we be without intonation?
We would sound like the Go-animate characters. i have noticed some video creators use a robotic voice generator to deliver information and even to teach. I prefer a real person reading out information with the intonations.
Ha! I know what you mean. You know what annoys me on days I have little patience? It's the automated recordings on the phone.

Hi. In English, the letters can represent more than one sound. You have to learn the different spelling patterns to understand what letters represent. For example, a double consonant after a vowel will usually make the vowel a short one rather than a long one: apple, matter, Daddy, sassy, etc.
Jennifer, you're amazing, love your videos! They would be so much better if the audio quality was a little better though! I guess you need a better microphone, or to process the videos in a different platform... idk what happens, all of your videos seem to have this problem but besides that, your work is admirable!
Thanks for the feedback, Henrique. Yes, I'm still mastering the technology. Little by little, I try to make improvements. Thank you for your patience and understanding. :)
Does higher in pitch mean that the stressed syllable need to use the rising intonation?
Intonation is a change in pitch within a thought group. A high pitch or a low pitch can be a single sound. We often use a higher pitch on a stressed syllable. That sound (the stressed vowel sound) is higher than others. Hope that makes sense. I'll go live at 2 PM today (Boston) with another English teacher on Instagram. His IG name is teacher_dehnavi. We'll talk a bit about pronunciation. Hope you can join us.
