Wow
Thanks for the video! You're still pronouncing the Swedish "e" incorrectly. It is pronounced like the "ay" in "hay". So, it's "ee·kay·uh".

italians piss me off
The only thing this video really does is explain that Sophia Vergara speaks English with a Spanish accent. Big deal -
Sorry, I’ve got to say it : macron is not French, he’s even not human, he’s betrayed the whole country and the French people !!!!! Please, avoid to put his face or his voice in any video or whatever, we (French people) can’t stand him at all !!!!!
It was Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious 🎉👌🏻😍
I hear you pronounce "year" /jɪə/ and not only you but most non-rhotic speakers. So Geoff Lindsey seems to be wrong that the NEAR vowel is the monophthong /ɪ:/ instead of the diphthong /ɪə/ nowadays. He claims it in his "These Symbols Are All Wrong" video. But it is true about the SQUARE vowel, in modern pronunciation it's /ɛ:/ and /ɛə/ is seldom heard these days.

i like, because yogurt natural is poop, wow i'm disgusting this Thiago, complot melancholic, what the fuck is more
Guilty as charged 🤪

If I could have it my own way I would revolutionize the English spelling. In this case I would change the spelling from "architecture" to "aakitekcha". And "architect" to "aakitekt".
As an Irish citizen, I always get these wrong cuz of accent. I’d say /arkətɛkt/ without any stressing or long vowels

I prefer 'anarchy. Easier to pronounce as well 😉 Unfortunately we're not ready yet.
As many of us know, English spelling is so confusing and often...how shall I put it?...Light-Years away from the pronunciation of most words, one of the best and clearest ways to learn the pronunciation right, or nearly right, is by looking at the phonetic transcriptions.
I think I hear stress on A when he demonstrates it 😂😂
Me too 😅
You're hearing secondary stress. The primary stress is on the first syllable.

I wonder if "yolk" is a British thing. I'm American (Indiana), I definitely pronounce the L every time.
I've mispronounced and didn't know that. Thanks a lot for your help.
This word can also be spelt with <-ize> at the end. If you want to learn more about word stress (+ games and practice), check out my British Council award-nominated course: course.improveyouraccent.co.uk/register

I love these videos! I got all of them right 😄
But you've said /ˈɛlɪfənt/, not /ˈɛləfənt/ as the transcription says.
I'm definitely using a schwa here. In fact, I purposefully made an effort to use schwa in the recording (as using /ɪ/ is, of course, an alternative pronunciation).
Farsi has some similarities to Italian, but instead of pronouncing Sheet shit, we pronounce shit sheet! 😂
