    Hello teacher Rebecca, I personally appreciate you and what you are striving to do to help people around the world who are struggling with speaking the language. You have such an artistic and creative way of teaching that makes students feel motivated and enthusiastic about English. I can certainly say that you are born to be a teacher. I have been learning English for over a decade, and I can use the language independently and confidently. I know English is one of the hardest languages to master. On the other hand, being able to hold a conversation in English is not that challenging, but mastering it takes a lot of effort and time. Here is the question I have for you today. When it comes to movies, podcasters, and some individuals like Elon Musk, hip-hop artists, and stand-up comedians, their English is sometimes difficult for me to catch the pronunciation of every word they say. I have tried my best to solve this problem, but I can't find anything or anyone. Would you mind helping me out with this problem? What is the real magic to getting the hang of all accents and natives' real-life English? Let me tell you one thing that I surely know. The English you are speaking in all of your videos is entirely understandable for me, and I think this is not the way you speak with your friends and family, right? But what I am really looking for is the English that you use with your native counterparts. When you speak English in your videos, you enunciate every word clearly, and this in turn helps us understand what you say vividly. But the thing is, nobody or no native speaker speaks like that in real-life situations. I am looking forward to hearing your kind and constructive remarks. thank you I am Misganaw from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

    Languages are fantastic! The short A (eɪ) sounds extremely close to the A (æ) in Spanish to a Mexican like me. The short E (iː) has the same effect; it sounds almost like the E (ɛ) in Spanish.

    What do you say about A (open mouth) in pun, run, sun etc? I thought Spanish has this sound of A as many european languages do. For me it sounds very strange when Rebecca tells us about open mouth but makes her mouth wider. It's "Joker's open mouth A"

    @@andydixi Do you speak Spanish? A is spelled and sounds the same in Spanish, but in English it is spelled A but sounds like æ, e, ɒ, ɔː, ɑː, ə, ɪ, eə, eɪ. The closest sound between the two is the short A.
