Hi Kiều, You're welcome. I'm pleased it's helped you to recognise the difference. Where do you come from? I'm giving away a free 5 day pronunciation course at the moment... You might have seen a TH-cam Ad for it. Have you gained access to it? If you found this video helpful, you'll love the course! Michael
You are welcome! That's great to know that it's helped you! I'm pleased. Thanks for letting me know. Did you see yesterday's video? Check it out if not, I think you'll like it! th-cam.com/video/eqsqCVBxSJY/w-d-xo.html Enjoy😀 Michael
you are the real deal bro, keep it up, and time will prove me right, you are making a great contribution to the world, and eventually the reward shall be spectacular, do not stop or quit, thanks man, may god bless you in spades.
Thank you so much. Recording outside makes the lesson more interesting. When I listen to someone speaking English, I can tell the difference between vowels but I'm kind of bad at speaking myself. Now I can pronounce properly by changing the mouth's position.
Hi Chíng. Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you like me filming outside. I may do some more outside again soon - based on your feedback. I'm pleased the videos have helped you. What's your goal for learning pronunciation? Michael
Noted! I started doing this in all my newer videos. 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 Luca, glad you'r finding them helpful! I'm planning the next videos for the channel and would love you to help me make some decisions. Could you answer a few quick questions to help me: goo.gl/forms/lNsEtJYHNVXkFAOQ2 Cheers, Michael
Thank you for this! Great tips. I'd suggest that you included the phonemic script to aid your examples. That helps visual learners like myself =) keep up with the great work!
♥️ This is actually the specific point I want to learn in terms of the difference between these two sounds. How would I know if a certain word has a long sound or a short sound o?
Hi Anonymous. I'm glad this has helped you. There are multiple spellings for both of these sounds, so there isn't one simple rule... but... one way that will help is if a word is spelt 'or' e.g 'short', the 'or' will usually br pronounced as a long 'o' sound. other examples would be: or for lord I hope this helps you :) Did you see my latest tutorial on 'thr' pronunciation? Cheers, Michael
Hi Loan, You're very welcome! Have you gained access to my free pronunciation course? If you love the tutorials here, then you'll love the course! Thanks for your comments, Michael

Thanks a lot for these lovely lessons but I would be very happy to see the video titles also like "Long O and Short O" etc. Due to the complication of the phonetic alphabet, I usually skip watching those videos that contain those letters. I am sure that there are others out there who are trying to find useful videos like yours to practice their pronunciation. I tried to learn the phonetic alphabet but somehow built a psychological barrier for it so I cannot get passed this issue. The wider audiences would get benefit from these beautiful videos. Regards
HiGoKHaN, Thank you for your message. I know that the IPA symbols appear complicated and can stop people from learning pronunciation. Would you find the videos better if they were titled: 'Do THIS to learn Long O and Short O' instead? I appreciate your thoughts. Michael
@@britishaccentmethod Hi Michael, Thanks for the courtesy and the reply! I think that most non-native English speakers having trouble understanding/learning the IPA so we just skip it. Spending time on it doesn't feel practical since we cannot relate IPA with real-life use cases. Titles such as "Practise Long O and Short O" would catch my eye more than IPA since that's the only thing that I know about that sound. Personally, I even stopped trying to learn the rules of word endings and sounds. I forget (to apply) them anyway while speaking because lots of things happening at the same time. We try to find the right words and use them in the right grammatical format. For native speakers, it just happens naturally but we fight with ourself in those nanoseconds to bring out something understandable :) So, I recently discovered a logical way for myself and trying to follow. 1- Practicing words by repeating/imitating (sometimes my brain finds the right word but my mouth says different thing :) The mouth muscles need to be trained correctly and repetition is the quickest way to that (at least for me). 2- Focusing on "stressed" syllables while repeating words. 3- Focusing on Intonation to sound more British. 4- Focusing on linking words while speaking a bit fast (to sound more British) 5- Focusing on Function and Content words while speaking to sound more British. The above, outlined structure would be useful for non-native English speakers to progress faster I believe. Regards
Hi Min, thank you for the suggestion. In many of the videos I have done that. I'm intending to add subtitles soon too which I think will help. I've taken your feedback on board. :) Michael

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!!! and by the way, thank you for choosing a nice landscape for your videos.
When I try to check my pronunciation through the microphone of google translate in words such us store, whore, sore,etc, I tend to pronounce them with oə because the app can recognize them better. Do you think it’s possible, cheers.
Hi Liliana, In both sounds the tongue is positioned low in the mouth. I've just filmed a Q&A video answering subscriber questions. In Q&A I film next week, I'll answer this question.

HI Khalil, Thank you for doing the questions. I've just filmed a Question and Answer video and I've answered your question again in the video. I'll post it in the next 10 days.
Hi Dmitry, Let me explain... they are both short sounds and your lips are rounded for both. The only thing that changes is the height of your mouth. For ɒ you can fit 2 fingers between your teeth. For ʊ You can only fit 1. Hope this helps Michael
When you was teaching the O sounds, a minivan with a logo of bOcOncepts parked behind you. I think that they wanted you to use their company's name for this lesson. :-)
In my dialect, "cot" is pronounced more like /kät/... Well. Not really with a true voiceless stop, but more like a T-glottalization -.- I feel so inferior now.

not.
I can't thank you enough teacher
Where do you position the tongue in each case? Thank you

In both sounds the tongue is positioned low in the mouth.

Subtitles would come, most often in case of sentences
Tongue position,I can't see and I can't make these sounds 😢😢😢
Sadly most ppl in Asia, tend yo use American accents nowadays, so, try both.
When you was teaching the O sounds, a minivan with a logo of bOcOncepts parked behind you.
I think that they wanted you to use their company's name for this lesson. :-)
Haha I didn't realise!

@@britishaccentmethod Well done my teacher I love phonetic and i know it's the key of any language if we learn it it makes our pronunciation better.
