I loved when you pronounced all the "t" as "true t" 😅 (I'm a Spanish native speaker)
Many thanks for the video and thanks also to your student who served as an example.

Thanks a bunch. All of your recorded videos are kind of special, and I find unexpected information all the time like "the dark and light L". I admire u😊
Hi there! I've been following you since beginnings of 2018! This week, I had like 4 job interviews since I just graduated college, and every time I get asked by a recruter: "Where did you learn English"? Your name always comes up in the conversation! While it's true that I studied in a bilingual school since I was a kid and learned lots of vocab and grammar, it was never focused on pronunciation. I always tell the recruiters, you know, I improved my pronunciation because of somene called Rachel's English! I always have to give you your flowers because you are truly the reason I've improved so much, and then the recruters tell me: "Mmm, I think I've heard of her before, her name rings a bell". I start talking about the schwa, the stop t, reductions and much more... They prolly think I'm out of my mind, lol. I wanna thank you so much for your videos and for existing! Your hard work is truly appreciated. You're just the definition of the word iconic! You're an icon! Wish you the best, Rachel. Take care.

I’m a new fan from china, this is a practical content for me!
Hello,Rachel I have a question,please I've learned that "feel" is a stative verb meaning it can't be in the continuous form. Then why do you say "How are you feeling?" ? And what is the difference if I said "I feel sick." And "I'm feeling sick." Or which one is correct English? Thank you so much in advance
@rachelsenglish

Both are correct! Americans don't always follow traditional stative/dynamic rules, especially with words like feel, have or think.

Hi Rachel, I'm French, Thanks for all the content you released on Internet. Hearing yours podcasts, I wonder if there is an other way of pronouncing "t". This other way is not to pronounce it ! like in "international", where you say "inernational"... Gilles

Hey, Rachel. How about minimal pairs with the final L and without it. Let's say go X goal - so X soul - few X feel I'm runnng out of them. hahaha

I know I'll sound kinda crazy here ( and this from a guy who already claimed that nursery rhymes and tongue twisters are awesome English learning tools ) : I saw a big improvement in the way I speak English after I started trying to emulate the British and the Australian accents. It seems to me that any time I did that , especially when it comes to the Australian accent, by the time I went back to speaking in an American accent..... my speech was a lot clearer and my accent was a lot less pronounced. .... or perhaps it just got weirder. Peace.

And, people who have some kind of a speech imariment, such as former Predisednt of Brazil, Bolsonaro or former soccer player Romário. If you can emilate them, you'll be able to make the TH sound as in THanks or THink.
In American pronunciation, is 'thorough" possibly pronounced /'θɔ:r --/ as shown in the Marriam-Webster Dictionary, "thor·ough ˈthər-(ˌ)ō sometimes ˈthȯr-;"? Thank you.

The most common American pronunciation of this word is THUR-OH [ˈθɜroʊ], but I have also heard THOR-OH [ˈθɔroʊ].
Maybe I'm just picky but at about :30 shouldn't the be pronounced "thee" (before a vowel sound) rather than "thuh ou diphthong"?
@rachelsenglish
2 ай бұрын
This rule about the word "the" has changed! Although many people still use the EE pronunciation when the word is followed by a vowel, it is also acceptable to use the schwa version for everything now.

OMG, the final L is a nightmare for us Brasilians. We just can't make a difference between go and goal, for instance. Or, between so and soul. When we try it, we make the same "mistake" that Spanish people make and our tongue touches our front teeth. hahahahahahaha That is a hard one.
Can videos be subtitled in Chinese? I like and follow, thank you

Hi @kingly6108! We rely on the community for video translations but KZread may have disabled that capability.
>_< I don't think I even pronounce "dark" Ls but with the tongue up somewhere (although it's flatter). But when I look in the mirror I can do it without and it sounds the same. I think I'd rather pull out or sharpen (not sure which) the pronunciation with the tongue... but I don't always bother.

Rachel, the long Oo as in PHONE is a monophthong in GA English. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧It IS a diphthong in British English. Before it was the combination of the schwa and the long oo but today the first part of it is the short Oo.

in the word ' don't ' I hear a lot of Americans saying it without including that u . Why is that?
@rachelsenglish
Ай бұрын
There shouldn't be a U in "don't". But the way the IPA shows the OH diphthong includes a symbol that looks a bit like a U, [oʊ]. This just represents the OH diphthong sound. More on OH here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dZ2qmbd7irOfabA.htmlsi=KRjhM6-d7YIFFM_U
