    Great post Tom. As a native speaker I say these words exactly as you do.

You can see how English came from German because that’s a tough language to learn as well.

    Fobulous TV maybe what will help in some cases is knowing the emphasis is different based on whether it's a noun or verb: REcord-noun reCORD-verb PERmit-noun perMIT-verb Some exceptions where both are the same would be comfort, attack, and many many others. However if you know there are two pronunciations with different emphases, it's often safe to assume that the one with a stressed first syllable is a noun and the other is a verb.

    Swap in an 'F' for any number starting with 'th' and immediately sound like you have lived in the south of England all your life! Example: Number three say 'free', 30 is a little more complex as the second 't' must be dropped 'firhe' and dont bother rounding the 'r' too much either. Also works in some names like Catherine, say Cafrine. Swear plenty with 'fack' doing the job nicely. Words ending in 'er/or' sub in 'ah' so all together "I fink the drivah needs to stay off tha M25(tweneefive) its noffing bu' a facking caw pawk".

    Congratulations on your great teaching style. What you're passing on here is so important. As someone who studied Thai and its five tones, I'd like to add something that really accelerated my pronunciation and it works well in reverse for students of English. Students: you must listen to the sound of your own voice and repeat exactly what you are hearing. Not everyone does this but it's the only way for your brain to connect with the real sound. When you do this, then see the explanation here about the formation/position of your mouth, tongue and teeth you'll find it much easier to master English. This teacher has a lovely accent!

    For me the most difficult aspect of the English language is linking words when words have just too many consonants in a row. The sixth stage (ksθ st). English always has to resort elision in order for words to sound more natural when speaking and that makes listening even more difficult because words sound different compared to the way the sound in isolation. While elision occurs in Romance languages it is much less common because there is more of a balance between vowels and consonants.

    Hi.There. I am not English native speaker ,I have just been relearning English these 5 years ,and almost by my own .I took some English online classes for first 2 years ,the rest I learnt it by self-learning, such as watching online English videos which were made form this wonderful teacher -Tom and other teachers(you are all very kind,friendly,warmhearted,diligent,talent at teaching English…Thank you ), read English books almost every day , watching English films online frequently and so on. Now I’d rewritten some pieces of lyrics of songs and sung them ..They were for people getting through the dreadful pandemic all over the world .I hope I could ispire peolpe more positive and optimistic by the special lyrics and singing. I’d done my best, at least I tried it .I hope that would be a good example for you all who are following Lucy’s English class and learning English online all over the world ,I hope that would be a inspiration and stimulation for you all . I’d posted these songs online.Such as some Chinese songs:《感谢》、《希望日红日》、《春节在哪里》《中国欢乐颂》,English songs :《let’s make our lives lovely》,《Let’s unite together to make the world lovely 》《we will regain joy pretty soon》,for children《Little baby we love you 》was for children…(they were on my KZread ,Facebook account and my Microblog acount: 18688819328 as well, please take a look at them if you have time )… Please forgive me being rude .Because I am so earnest to spread those positive songs .I’d really aprreciate you all if you can spread the positive songs I’ve posted on my account over the internet, such as Facebook ,KZread ,Twitter or whatever you got .If people can hear it , It will possibly make people regain faith,strength and joy ,to relieve upset ,pain and worries. Thank you for your time and help . Lady Zheng 2021-2-26

    work/walk is probably harder for the ones learning the "British way", it seems to me that Americans put a lot more stress on the R of work, I don't know the exact scientific terms but it's an anatomy's thing, the american accent is sharp and the british softer, that's why even with a lot of practice british accent will most likely sound fake for those who are really from UK. That's why adult japanese people have a hard time speaking english, our brain learns how everything sounds and then when we're speaking even if we know how a word should sound it's possible that we'll pronounce it wrong if we don't put a lot of effort in it.

    The absolutely most difficult word, which was completely beyond recognizing and understanding, I heard the other day in a speech of an elderly person from the US. It started with "America can be defined in one word" and then it came. I think it is worth an extra video! It went like "asomu-uh-hm". I was so intrigued.

    I think I'm fairly good at English. I've studied it for more or less 10 years but one word that I still struggle with is "literature". It's so obvious I'm not a native speaker when I try to say it.

    +Caroline Hedman You are from Sweden, right? May I ask which part of the word that troubles you? Anyway- it's pronounced "Litt-ra-chuh", with the stress on the first syllable. "LITT". If you speak American English you say :Li-der-a-chure". Sort of. Lycka till från en annan Svensk kvinna :) dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/literature

    As a non-native speaker of english, one of the most difficult listening challenges is telling 'can' apart from 'can't' as the pronunciation varies depending upon the accent.

    I’m 2nd generation British born, Jamaican background and I find it really hard to pronounce ear, eer, air and are sounds. Hear/here/hair or bear/beer/bare. I have a typical London accent otherwise, but just struggle with these sounds. 9 times out of 10 I say them correctly but it’s never quite become second nature. It’s so strange. I wonder if any other cultures have a problem with these words aswell. Ask/asks/asked is also tricky for me too. It becomes aks/aks/akst LOL. With language learning though, I don’t think it’s necessary to get so hung up on pronunciation and accents. Within Britain alone there is so much variation on how people say various words anyway. If someone says veg-e-table instead of ‘veg’t’ble it’s not a problem. Any English speaker will understand what you are saying.

    Well, let's just say our language uses the same sound for different words. "There," "their" and "they're" are all pronounced the same, but they have a different meaning. I bet reading in English is a nightmare for non-English speakers learning our language.

    "ear", "air" and "are" pronunciations are *totally* different, as are their meanings. A new immigrant *may* be confused, but a second gen British born person? Really? It may be time to take remedial English classes.

    As an American myself (California), for #2, i never really considered “walk” and “work” as being similar in sound, but I suppose they can be, depending on one’s accent. I always say (and hear most people say around here): “Work” sounds like “werk” “Walk” sound like “wahk” or even “wok”
