Have you heard the interesting English expression I shared at 09:04?? “either either” (pronounced EE-ther AI-ther) Can you think of a situation where you could use this expression?

The pronunciation "eether" is not what I had learnt at school in Australia. Sounds more American to me.

Nope, I haven't yet, thanks dear cute Emma a lot for your captivating work!❤👍 Could you please clarify me this one. If I've got a typical US speech accent, I can say it as *_AI-ther_* *_AI-ther?_* Or not? How would it be for the US pronouncing?

@@davesmith6436 Well, I grew up and went to school in Australia. It was always AI-ther in those days. Nobody ever pronounced it "eether". Here in Germany I used to work for the Americans and never heard any of them use AI-ther. It was always "eether". But as Emma said, you can use both, every native speaker will understand you.

Well, hey there, Emma again!✋ How are you now?😊 As I promised earlier, I decided to watch this lesson one more time *_since_* I had found that out an extremely useful one for me as an English learner while I was watching it a half a year ago, right? *_As a result,_* I wanna go back *_and_* watch that again! You know, I actually love all of your videos, it doesn't really matter what they're about *_whereas_* others are searching the specific types of lessons *_such as_* phrasal verbs videos *_or_* idioms lessons! *_But_* I always find them all extremely come in handy, *_in fact!_* Keep up doing the stunning job, Emma!🥰 You're really brilliant at teaching English!👍👍👍
This subject informal vs formal linking words is so interesting. You surprise us every now and then by teaching a subject no other teacher has ever touched upon! Thank you so much for being creative and innovative.
Thank you Emma! As a teacher of English in the Primary School, I' m improving my listening skills and use of the language every day.
Dear Emma, your lessons are really amazing and always so inspiring for my lessons with Italian adults as well as younger school students.
Hey Emma! 🙋♂️ Thank you for this set of new tips for us, English explorers! 😎👍 I wish the whole community of mmmEnglish only the best! 🙌😊 The more we practice, the more fluent we become! 🔥 *Let's boost our English speaking skills together!* 💪🤩
Emma, as you may know, I am Portuguese and I am very happy to know that you love my country so much. Hugs from Seve.
Thank you for making it easier to understand those simple and sometimes hard ways to express myself.
Hello dear teacher from Buenos Aires Argentina. Thanks for this spectacular lesson. You help us a lot to improve our skills in grammar and also to understand native English speakers giving us tips like the pronunciation of either . We are making so much progress as a result of watching all your videos.😘🌹💝
I'm not completely sure with the differences between casual and professional terms whereas your lesson will help me to be more comfortable with that! Thank you so much Emma 👍😊
There is one teacher who stays in our minds forever. Thank you for being that teacher.
Hello Emma, a hilarious and optimistic teacher. This video is pretty beneficial. Your idea about comparison casual and professinal context is perfect. However, linking words are sometimes neglected by us. I need to practise them as much as possible. An imaginary situation for an expression "Either either"/ After 2 shopping hours when your husband is knackered and you ask what kind of dress to choose for purchasing, (eiher blue it matches with the colour of your eyes or white)he replies "either either".He is too tired to think proper way.His only wish to do home. Thanks for this brillian video.

I like all English teachers on line, but the way you teach, it attracts me the most, because it's original and vigorous. I like to improve my spoken English, as well as written English. Portugal is an interesting country, as well as the cheapest one to visit in Europe. As a result of passing my exams ,to my surprise ,I was reworded to visit to Portugal. Where as I rather wanted to visit to an English spoken country. It didn't matter to to me, either you come to us or I'll come to you. As a result of my failure in English Exam, I was severely reprimanded, whereas my smart sister was generously reworded.
Hey Emma, Hope you're doing great. Your videos are really unique as well as valuable.
Thank you very much for the valuable explanation. I wish you good health🕊
I should practice English every day, in fact i must look at these interesting lessons and I have to use these connectors to link sentences, thank You teacher.
