[@aqua4016]

Your pronunciation is so clear, so beautiful that I can understand every single word you speak. Thanks for the 5 tips to improve listening skills.

[@samthh2954]

Thank you,Rachel.This video inspires me a lot.My English teachers have taught me a little bit of skills about linking words but they haven't taught me how to reduce less important words!If I had known this skill,I would understand a lot of transcripts of American films and TVs without English subtitles. I wish I can realise it after watching your videos.

[@englishforever]

Youglish is a dream come true. Now, I can give my students real examples with native people saying them. I am shouting here!!! What a wonderful world this Rachel's world. Thank you, Rachel and God bless Rachel's family. See you.

[@kaylone.7366]

Your videos are so helpful for thinking through things that we, as native American English speakers, may have never thought of. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and for all of the time, effort, and energy you have put into these videos, your website, etc. As someone who enjoys teaching English, I appreciate having your channel made available to me. Thank you!

Thank you very much. Yours are the best English classes I've ever had. Great addition YouGlish. I've been for quite a lot of time trying to work out how to pronounce "asked them", so many consonants together was very difficult, finally I've found that you drop the "k". Easy and simple.

[@omargavilanes6000]

hi Rachel! your videos are really really helpful and I always have fun watching them! I always try to repeat what you say so that I can confront my pronunciation with yours. keep up the great work!

[@kame1582amigo]

Hi Rachel, I've been following your channel for about two years. I integrate those tips you mentioned into daily life and it turns out they're truly incredibly helpful!! Thank you so much for offering the tremendous resources for learning English! This is literally the best channel I can find on the internet for either intermediate level speakers or beginners to improve their verbal skills. I've also subscribed to This American Life, but on and off I still find it difficult to get every single word in an episode without looking at the corresponding transcript. Since usually the duration of episodes is about an hour, it's really wearing to replay every time when I felt that I missed some information. It's indeed a wonderful channel to listen to at leisure, so I don't wanna give up on the podcast just because I cannot fully understand it. I came back to this video since my question is directly linked to the content of it. Do you have any suggestions for my situation? Thank you in advance!🙏🙏🥺🥺

[@fergie871204]

Your tips are really amazing, I'm sure that my listening skills will finally improve. Greeting from Mexico City :)

[@hend1243]

Thank you.They are really excellent tips. One of my tips in improving my listening skills is to listen to the same audio in different speeds from low to high . With time I get familiar with the pronounciation of many words even in high speeds.

You're welcome!

[@camilotorroja508]

I'm a Spanish -Speaker and I like American English, is so smooth and easy to understand. British English confuses me and British people speak so fast and I don't understand them well.

Great! Thanks!

I feel like she is talking really slowly, but anyway it‘s nice that you understand her!

I used to watch f.r.i.e.n.d.s series to practice my listening and to enrich my vocabs. They use daily conversation, so it's pretty easy. and it's really funny too, you can learn some jokes also.

[@kevinortiz342]

What listening material do you recommend me to listen to improve my listening skills? Greetings from Honduras!!!

[@rachelsenglish]

Hello! I would strongly encourage you to listen to American podcasts or TED talks or American TV and movies. It can be very helpful to watch and listen to programs that have a transcript available, if possible (which is why TED talks can be a great tool). You can also listen to audiobooks - audible.com can be a good resource for you!

If you search on youtube, you'll find a lot of videos about differences between prepositions

[@phpinternationaldotorgGiveLove]

Thank you Rachel for your English tips. For the past 34 years ... i couldn't pronounce the correct pronunciation of simple words ... for example (various), which i could replace it for several, but sometimes we need to pronounce this specific work that we have in our mind; okay, i do use it, but never came out of my mouth as i correctly wanted to pronounce it.... well, now i can pronounce the word "various" just as you do ( the a is between ae), sometimes the most simple words are difficult to pronounce because English is not our first language, we are learning the idiom. I have been in USA most part of my life (37 years) and for most part of my life i have been at school/ college (after work), specifically mastering English and computers. The last 4 courses i took was back in 2008 at ACC, and finished the cementer, but my daughter stopped me to go back to college that year; she said, i was just wasting money, all i need is continue practicing English. Believe me, after 37 years living in USA, i am still mastering Fluent American English, and i love it! Thank you for teaching us fluent America English. Think Positive
