    I'm Mexican, and I also teach English here in México. I've been watching your lessons and they've been very helpful, Elliott! By the way, though I'm Mexican when people from the US hear me talking they tell me I have a British accent... I'm improving it with your videos. Thank you, my friend!

    Same here man, although I just practice everyday talking to myself I notice I can do most if not all of the sounds he makes (glottal t for example). I always hangout with international friends, including from the UK and they think I’m from the UK too, the only problem is that I don’t have that much slang so that is the only thing that can tell I’m not native. However my fluency is good.

    Great lesson! I would probably pronounce most of these words wrong (except 'pronunciation', because I learned with you).To expand my vocabulary I always search, amongst other things, for the phonetic transcription of the word. The app WR, for example, also offers audio pronunciation, which I find very useful.

    I am from Quebec and unfortunately I cannot hold a conversation in English, but your very British accent is really nice. I listen to your shows from time to time and take pleasure in trying to understand your explanations. It also happens that I use the automatic translation into French of you tube, which I do in other English shows, and I must admit that the translation is impeccable, which means that the construction of your sentences must be flawless. Thank you and good luck for your work and for making us appreciate your wonderful culture. (translated by Google)
