Why isn't this taught in schools? Native speakers need this course just as much as non-natives. It sure is helping me with my software tutorial videos. Thanks profesora!
What you just posted has absolutely 0 sense of cohesion or comedy. It's such a horrid attempt at communication I am surprised you are even able to exist in society. If it was a joke, it may have been the worse joke i ever heard in my life, since it lacks any qualities your normal joke would have. If it was supposed to be a normal sentence, then it fails as that too, as what you just said makes absolutely no sense. It's so dumb, a cave man would be able to speak more cleverly and more nuanced than you. I am so ashamed of having to see this, it's just sad. Your lack of brain cells doesn't help you either, but if you wanna try and talk with me you gotta speak normally you idiotic piece of shit. I honestly think they should put you in the mental hospital, but not for improving your brain, but rather keep you out of society so no one has to deal with your crap. Your stupidity will be remembered forever as a prime example of why humanity is on a downwards spiral.
I havnt paid my taxes from the years 2003 to 2007. In 2009 a Treasury Agent came to my house and I murdered them. I clean my finger prints off their body with 98% acetone and buried them behind my house. I proceeded to set my house on fire with all my credit cards and legal documents inside, and flee the country to live in the Philippines. With all the money I saved from my tax evasion, I was able to live comfortably until the US Government got an anonymous tip of my acts and my current location. I am currently being held and tortured in Guantanamo bay as they think I have an accomplice.

memully- I absolutely agree!!! I always say half my job is to help non-native speakers speak with clarity and confidence. The other half is to teach native speakers how to communicate properly with global audiences!!! Unfortunately native speakers aren't so willing to listen...
+Heather Hansen (Pronunciation Mastery) when i watch a movie in english i need a subtitle to understand the words they are saying but your voice is so clear that i understand each and every word that you say :)
Thank you very much, Ms. Hansen. I've been studying English for three years and, now that I've got to speak more often at the English school where I've been learning this language, your advice will certainly help me make my speech sound more cleary...
Hi, Heather Hansen. Your tips are great, and I do agree when you say the dynamic of a language in terms of pronunciation may be compared to music, which has rhythm, amplitude, and so on. Nice approach. Thank you for the videos.
I wish we have a million like you pasionate pple on earth feel the problem of mislanguage exchages , the world would be better place to live .i thank you very much and keep it up.💘
This is exactly the channel I've been looking for. I have trouble with talking too quiet/mumbling/slurring words, so I'm really glad I found this channel! :)
Thks for the video. But i reallize a struggle here. First, we need to speak clearly. So, learners ènd up speaking english slow, word by word, like they are reading books. Meanwhile, we need to cooperate intonation and music to the speech at the same time. Together with getting the grammar right, pick up the right vocabulary. So, for me, from clearly... to.... confidently... is a long road to go. How do u think?
Great video Heather! I looked everywhere for help. I recorded myself making an instructional video and was horrified when I could not understand what I was saying. I have a master's degree in city planning which requires many presentations and I have felt roadblocks that were confusing to me but now suddenly understand and need help. Thinking clearly and articulating is only fair if you seriously want to communicate with others.
Hi, I´m Brazilian and listening to you was great, I felt like if English was my native language! I could understand every word you said very clearly! Thanks!
hi.. i just want to say thank you for giving these advices.. they are really helpful.. im a filipino and obviously english is not my native language.. but u helped me a lot.. god bless you ma'am!
Hi Heather, I teach English as a foreign language. My students often tell me that they can understand me and they can understand other non-native speakers but when they have a meeting with Bill from the US or John from the UK then they are struggling. I sincerely believe that native English speakers need to be taught how to speak English to non-natives. I have also developed 10 tips. Would you like to share them with you? Maybe I should make a youtube video.
Excellent info. Even though I have a speech impediment; I moonlight as a speaker. Heather's Top 10 Tips, as well as her delivery, would benefit not only speakers but people in all works of life. We control our environment by our ability to communicate. Her tips reinforced the tools I've been given and offered a few new ones I plan to utilize.
The funny thing is how we can actually 'stretch the fixed cold dictionary rules' to suit our purposes and fit the additional rules which are discussed later. When you go to 3.30 of the video you can hear how a normaly longer vowel in the adjective 'short' is ... shorter than a normally short vowel in the adjective 'long'. Compare: short /ʃɔːt/ vs long /lɒŋ/ in IPA transcription.
Eventually you want your fluency to reach a level where you don't need to think about grammar, but yes, grammar is important. If you haven't internalized the rules yet, you will need to think about it while you speak.
***** thaks .i never heard this type of reply from anyone.i have enjoyed by this answer.very very thanks and i confused by this doubt .from now onwards i never
Heather Hansen is a must-watch English teacher, deserving appreciation from her likers for her voice sounding so aesthetically inspiring experience when she is pronouncing words so magically. This is excellent for the virtual audience, globally though. Her 10 tips for pronunciation mastery is a rare opportunity for the clarity seekers; who ask for it and, Heather Hansen is the answer, ensuring that the dreamers may have the mastery. Beautiful, really very beautiful. Islamabad Pakistan.
hi this me Farid from kandahar Afghanistan I need to learn english language soon. how can learn it ? plz send me an email so that I learn from you... thank you]
your pronounce so good.and i don't know why sometimes i can pronounce well in english like your guys but sometimes i can't.and today , i pronounce a word wrong and it is fatigue. i pronounce it as fat tigue and my classmate laugh at me . my mother language is mandarin not english .i feel embarrased T___T and i afraid that my friend look down at me
It's off-ten, when saying often , plus I dont like others words u say however you make many positive points and comments that are valid,so good on u, b proud!
You're welcome to say "off-ten. Both pronunciations are acceptable and common in different parts of the world. That's why understanding the differences in global varieties of English is important, and why it's even more important to listen to what someone says instead of being irritated by how they say it. There is no "right" way to say certain things. There is only location and context. I'm sure there are plenty of people in the world who will also be bugged by how you pronounce certain words.
Antonio, you’re just amazing!!! Love your content, so informative and entertaining. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your pasaion for English with us ❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful! but please let me to say something for you. You're an American English professor that you hold on all your videos and lessons, and I'm sure you're speaking in native speech, so why I can't understand all sentences in an American films and songs. I understood all your videos, episodes and lessons. What's going on?
Thank you very much, Heather! Your advice should be used by everyone, who wants to speak well in English :) And it would be great to learn how to speak like you, your speech is very...melodic, I'm glad there are teachers who can motivate their students to make progress :)
This is wonderful, I'm a native English speaker but I've had trouble being understood on many occasions and this video gives some great tips, thanks :)
I understand what you're saying with the letter D and T but my inglish still not good. I rather have a conversation when somebody talks to me in inglish and I awnser back in spanish

We do not merely reduce the duration of the vowel sound before a voiceless consonant but cut it off sharply. So such vowel sound becomes abrupt, i.e. the degree of tenseness of vocal cords remains constant for a short time and then drops sharply. In case of the vowel before a voiced consonant the degree of tenseness of vocal cords gradually decreases during the retention stage of the vowel pronunciation.
i really love you m.s heather you are the best and the comfortable teacher i had ever saw, thank you so much for helping us. egyptian person i hope if u respond me once
after heard and watch how you speak like this, it makes me sure that expression on our face can attract the attention of someone. including me, thank you so much :)
Trax Morth I don't have any research on this, but just through experience, non-native speakers in Asia often told me the Australian and New Zealander accents were the most difficult for them to understand. My husband (a Dane) thinks Kiwis are the hardest. This isn't just due to accent, but also the amount of slang that is used.
Its true plust their 'e' becomes 'i' so confusing. number ten becomes number tin I always watch english movies but up until now im still struggling to understand them.
***** thanks for taking time to make those amazing videos, it helps me so much to watching I am from Mexico, and my English abilities are very poor so now I'm progressing a lot watching your videos thank you so much

We do not merely reduce the duration of the vowel sound before a voiceless consonant but cut it off sharply.

In case of the vowel before a voiced consonant the degree of tenseness of vocal cords gradually decreases during the retention stage of the vowel pronunciation.
A good teacher is one who can take complex linguistic concepts and simplify them in a way students can understand.
Ms. Heather Hansen this is a big help for me. I hope you can make a video about Job interview in a call center agent.
many thanks .... wonderful

My husband (a Dane) thinks Kiwis are the hardest. This isn't just due to accent, but also the amount of slang that is used.
