I am hoping to use your lessons to understand TESOL to my students. I seem to truly NOT be able to hear pitch, my whole life, forget singing. BUT your explanations may help me grasp some aspect of how I could change this and therefore be a better teacher........So thank you for your approach here.:

Not only am I not a non-native Engish speaker, I am also autistic. I am a native Hebrew speaker, and because I am autistic, my brain works differently, and my accent is different from others' in both Hebrew and English.

Ohh Thanks a lot. Before watching this video, my understanding about the intensifiers was pretty accurate, haha. I thought the word "Pretty" as a stronger intensifier. Didn't know that's a weaker one. So, what a shame? This video extremely improve my English.

I thought you might interested to hear that I am using your video for auditory training after a cochlear implant. All voices sound like a monotone to me, but I am beginning to hear some differences in pitch as I play the different segments over and over.

Hi Kim! I have a question for you. Why do I have trouble understanding what the actors are saying in english TV shows? I can understand what they are saying when they speak a bit slowly. But I'm unable to understand them when they start talking faster. I Can understand you perfectly well while watching your videos and other native English speakers when listening to audiobooks. And I have been learning english for almost 2 years and 5 months, spending majority of my time listening to english. How long will it take me to understand 100% of what the characters say in english tv shows and movies just as i can understand almost everything the people are saying in my own native language?
@Englishwithkim Ай бұрын
One reason it can be more challenging to understand actors on TV shows is that they are often using speech patterns that help give their character a unique sound, or they may use a regional or social variety of English that reflects the character's background. Educational videos and audiobooks tend to be more clearly spoke to reach the widest audience. I'm not sure how long it will take you to understand 100% of what you hear - everyone is different. I've been speaking English my whole life, and I sometimes have trouble understanding certain regional varieties of English and have to turn on the captions!

There's certain words that people say I pronounce wrong and I just don't hear The Difference I honestly Don't Know what they're talking about Mountain is one of the words that people point out to me that I'm saying wrong how could that be
@Englishwithkim 2 ай бұрын
You're not alone in being told you pronounce things wrong. In my experience, many people think their regional pronunciation is the "right" one. I'm from New England, and when I lived in California, it sounded like I was saying things "wrong" to some people. Besides that, there are a lot of possible shortcuts that people use that transform how words sound. Sometimes, the shortcut is more common, so when people fully pronounce a word, it sounds "off." With regards to the word "mountain," it is very common to glottalize the word, as I explain in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l37PgYGarbh9oLcsi=EONa1gWbU5HoMw_G&t=1069 I'm more likely to use the glottalized version myself, so when I hear someone pronounce the "t," it makes the word stand out. That doesn't mean you're saying it "wrong" - it just sounds unusual to that person's ear. I don't know if this what you're experiencing, but it's worth understanding these shortcuts and how they vary among regional varieties of English.

That's another option! In certain family, work, and school situations, it may not be possible to walk away, so you may have to find another way to respond. You may also get these types of questions when you're stuck in one place, such as when you're on or waiting to get on a bus, train, or plane, or waiting in line somewhere.

I have a question//does the pausing to breathe//become less evident//and easier?
@Englishwithkim 2 ай бұрын
Excellent use of thought groups! I definitely feel that thought groups become easier with practice. You get a better sense of where to pause, the most common types of chunks, etc. Pausing will seem less obvious to listeners if you pause where they expect you to pause. That said, it will likely still be evident, especially when you're using pausing for effect. The pauses give your listeners time to process what you're saying. It's okay that people notice that you're pausing!

I just wrnt through a serious medical situation and everyone and there dog kept asking me how I was doing. So, I started saying, "I don't want to talk about it." Someone that I didn't know very well asked me in a public setting, "are you ok?" I just looked at him and said, "sometimes." He walked away and didn’t ask again.
@Englishwithkim 3 ай бұрын
I can definitely appreciate why you didn't want to keep answering that question. It's interesting how your honest, realistic response caused him to walk away. I feel that people shouldn't ask the question if they're not prepared to handle the response thoughtfully and kindly.

Oh my god, I need to say THANK YOU for making this video. While I speak English quite fluently, I feel less confident in speaking because the quality of my voice can change so quickly somehow. I think I had watched so many videos teaching people the hack of the placement and there’s so many people that mentioned the chest but failed to mention the importance of the center of the mouth. So the resonance goes from the chest to other parts of the body instead of the Centre of the mouth. Your video just provided so much clarity and I definitely feel more confident and more comfortable now ❤❤❤

@Englishwithkim 3 ай бұрын
When giving speeches, remember to breathe and slow down to allow people time to process what you're saying. This playlist has my best tips on intonation: kzbin.info/aero/PL81YJkck6j1t6ZPViiL8zOLYVvz1Gjdjz In particular, I encourage you to linger on key words and pause after important ideas. You can also review the three simple intonation patterns that you need to communicate clearly.
