    Thanks for all of your lovely comments, I always enjoy reading them! It’s been difficult working things out recently with my busy course and family life (we are expecting baby no.2 soon!) but I’ve worked out how to fit more time in to get more of these free KZread/Instagram videos out to you. Keep your eyes open in January and throughout 2024 for more frequent English and pronunciation content from me ✌️ Happy New Year! El 🤓 www.etjenglish.com

    IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO LEARNERS. I'm an English teacher myself, and if you're looking for good British English pronunciation lessons online, follow my advice and look no further: this guy is the best you can find, hands down (I swear I'm not a friend of his)! Watching your videos, Elliott, is a real treat. I've been teaching for many years now, but I keep learning new things with you, so thank you for being such a good teacher, and an inspiration.

    Happy New Year, Elliot. Although I didn't watch some videos when they came out, I've watched all the videos on this channel. I think you are the best English tutor in KZread. You taught me how to add intonation to my sentences, making me more confident in speaking to people. I'm so excited to see your next wonderful videos.

    I used to make the mistake of focusing on everything, and as a result, I ended up making more and more mistakes. Taking one thing at the time and spending as much time as needed is so helpful to make improvements. At first, I felt I was making little progress but being constant and practicing daily make a huge difference. Always a pleasure to hear how Elliott explains things, it was and is really helpful

    I'm not so confident in speaking, and I'm very anxious so I prefer writing, but one day I got the courage to send a voice message to my American friend, and she replied me that I was fluent, that day I just spoke slowly and this helped my brain to find words that, when I speak fast, I usually don't remember easily

    Hi Elliot , your videos are so helpful . I ‘m so happy because I understand everything you say . I have always thought that we learn English for work or for passion ( this is my case) , but we shouldn’t worry if we don’t understand those who speak english badly , even if they are native speakers, I don’t know if it makes sense . I know I understand your videos , the English show on radio , the guardian podcasts… but sometimes there are English people I don’t understand , because they speak very fast or I don’t know … Talking about confidence, I’m not confident yet , but I really like your tips … so thank you and happy new year … from Italy 🎉
