Dear sir,I'm a chinese student and this video really solved my question,the video is clear,straightforward,ingenious and easy to understand. Thank you so much for making videos like these. And to be honest,I ingeniously appreciate that you keep making videos even tho there are not SO many people watching them. You are a great hero. Respect
Hi, it's Michael. Sorry it's taken me a while to respond. Thanks for your comment. It's great to hear from you and I'm pleased the videos are helping you so much. English vowel sounds, consonants and intonation can be tricky for Chinese speakers. Did you see the latest video on English intonation that I posted this week?, I think you'll find it helpful, take a look here: th-cam.com/video/MK9gf_ge9QA/w-d-xo.html Great to have you here on the channel. Michael
Thank you so much SP 😀 Did you see the video I published yesterday on English rhythm and word stress? If you didn't, take a look at it here: th-cam.com/video/CLIRRK5B9LU/w-d-xo.html I think you'll like it! Michael
Hi Minahil, thanks for your comments, I'm pleased you're finding the videos helpful! Did you see this video I published yesterday? Take a look, I think you'll like it: th-cam.com/video/rAAenu_nxoQ/w-d-xo.html Michael
Thank you very much for your teaching. I can hear and say those two sounds clearly. It really helps a lot. Hopefully you will be able to guide us on other sounds in future. Take care and 👀you next week. ☺
Thank you so much for these amazing pronunciations videos as I was struggling a lot. I am doing tongue exercises inorder to improve my pronunciation. Your videos are extremely helpful.
Great video! Do you speak spanish? como me gustaría que se pudiera traducir el video al español, mi inglés es básico y me pierdo bastante la explicación.
Hola Patricia, Unfortunately I don't speak Spanish - but, you should be able to watch my video with Spanish Subtitles. Have you been able to do this? I hope so! Gracias for your comment! Michael
Weww Liff How are you finding the phonetics book? Sometimes it can be hard to learn pronunciation from a book, but I hope it’s helping. I’ve got some more tutorials coming which I hope will help you. Michael
@@britishaccentmethod Hi! It is important to not only correctly pronounce sounds, but also correctly pronounce english words. So I decided to try to learn all the rules. In the book I can find a lot of examples. So at least I will learn new words, paying attantion to their transcriptions. As to pronounciation, I want to be able to correctly pronounce every sound from transcriptons. Finally I hope I will be able to write down transcriptions without a dictionary. I know it is often not possible. But at least for majority of cases I will be able to do this.
@@britishaccentmethod And I want to say, learning the sounds is not easy and it takes a lot of time. Because it is easy to forget what you just have learned. So I need to watch every your video many times. Also I need to watch other youtube channels in order to find another explanation. And after some time I do it again. So I learn how to pronounce sounds. Then I learn some phonetics with this sounds for practice.
Can you please make videos how to pronounce “dr” for drink, drive, drought. And “gr” for great, ground or green? Thanks so much for your help and kindness!
I'm improving fastly with you thank you really ... It is an amazing job ... Please our teacher we need also to know and learn the difference between the vowel sounds in "pot" and "put" ... Please teacher .. And thanks again 😇😇
Hi Thank you for your video. Your explanation is so clear and easy to learn. Do you think you can make one video to compare /æ/ Vs /a:/ Vs /ʌ/ Vs /e/ together ?
Great! I am paying attention and I can hear the small difference between these two sounds... it is a matter of practice to master them I hope so 😅 Thanks for the video
Hi Il, Excellent. If you can hear the difference between these 2 sounds then you're doing well. The next step is to be able to pronounce them both correctly! Would you like to join the How To Speak English Clearly Facebook group? I'm going to be posting lots more content there in due course! bit.ly/howtospeakenglishclearly Cheers, Michael
Hi Choey, I apologies for the slow response to all your comments. Keep them coming! ui as in biscuit//circuit is pronounced /i/ (short i sound). Watch this tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/SLSux5PBiPQ/w-d-xo.html oi as in tortoise is the schwa sound. Unfortunately English spelling makes it confusing, so the easiest way to find the correct pronunciation is to look at the IPA spelling in an English dictionary. Happy Christmas! Michael
I can actually notice a different length of both sounds, but not two different sounds. Spanish speakers have just 5 vowels (a, e, i, o, u), and I can distinguish, for instance, your ´'schwa' sound (why is it called "schwa"?), a sound between our "a" and our "e", but not any difference between your ʌ and ɑː sounds, except in lenght.
Hi Jose, Good question. There is a very subtle difference in sound quality between ʌ and ɑː, but it's easier to just think of them both as the same sound, with one being long and one being short. If you think of them like this it won't have a negative effect on your pronunciation at all. There's quite a few consonant sounds that can be challenging for Spanish speakers so based on what you've said, I recommend moving on from here to other sounds! Hope this helps you :) Michael
Most probably there is no difference in quality I think he makes one shorter and one longer. But I do not rule out that theres a very slight difference, that the ^ might be a mix of a and schwa.
Hi Hana, Good to hear from you. I'm glad it's helped I've got tutorials on the 'a' sound as in cat in a free pronunciation course that I'm giving away. You should have seen ad advert for it. Have you gained access to the course? It will really help! Best, Michael
@@britishaccentmethod hi Michael peace unto you , actually I comment down the lessen in the comments section, thank you so much it's help full, that was my problem thank you so much you having me.
Hi Therénce, The easiest way is to train your ears by using Minimal pairs. In nearly all of my sound comparison videos, I give you these examples where you have 2 words that are exactly the same apart from one vowel sound e.g long vowel/short vowel. This is the most effective way to train your English listening for these sounds.
in a video /ɔː/ vs /Ʌ/ you say /ʌ/ comes form the middle of the mouth. In this video you say /ʌ/ comes form the back of the mouth... I am confused... Could you clarify it, please?
Hi micheal , yesterday only I found ur channel. I have been seeing all the video from the last to recent . You are the cream of the crop for the pronunciation tutor. I like ur way of teaching how to pronounce it clearly. U r doing great job. Sure you ll get credit soon I hope.
@@britishaccentmethodAbsolutely! 😂 It's not that I didn't know the difference - I just find your videos to be the most explicit when it comes to showing the difference between similar sounds. I'm definitely going to share your videos whenever I have to explain it to someone.
The combination of words into the same sentence to understand the phonetic differences it is absolutely brilliant.
This kind of channel that I've been looking for which is focusing on only one field the pronunciation without other distractions
Thank you for the video . For the cut and cart. There is a r in the cart which is not really the combination as the cut

If you spoke slower it would be much better. The reason is that beginners would profit much more from this awesome lesson. Congrats!

Thank you sir...
