Thanks for the video ! There is a proverb. The person who doesn't make mistakes actually doesn't work.

[@Gutuweday]

Thanks alot but i haven't seen your video about the question tags please could you tell me how can i get?

[@imaaronds6914]

thanks for the video

[@ДимаТерсков-ю1ц]

to get to the bottom - intresting phrase - 4:30

[@mirudhusmultitsks8456]

Why of(T)en is pronounced in -09:31?

[@juliannemoore2313]

I hope you'll get an answer to your question. I have read something about the pronunciation of "often" (pronounced without T, like in "listen"), and "neither" and "either". Now pronounced as in American English. 🥲🥲🥲
