Hi Sir, One small request, Could you please make a video on how to identify which letter is silent in words during the pronunciation. I always pronounce wrong when the letters are silent. Thanks

[@InteractiveEng]

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. 👍

Excellent guys, thanks a lot. Please allow me to share my experience as a foreigner in your country. I have lived in Texas for a while, I moved there to work when I was 33, and being Brazilian, living in Brazil, working for international banks, you speak English, but you are not in a English-spoken country. In addition, you can switch back to your original language easily. Well, although my "office English" was good, things would get a more complicated when you go out of the work environment and have to be quite colloquial to sound more fluent...but hey, talking like a native speaker is not going to happen soon. First of all, you should realize that if you have not learned a second language when your "talking equipment" is young, lets until 10, 12, the physical part of it gets in the way. It is not only the brain, but to speak well, you need an accurate hearing/listening tool...your mouth muscles, throat - mountain was a tough initially - then the rules. Façade, Fiancée, Fiancé, those are examples of non-Anglo Saxon words that will not follow the usual "English" type of pronunciation. The company would help us by paying some local English instructors, and after some not so good picks, we actually found someone who majored English, a guy, and in our 1-1, I would totally explore "good English" and "bad English", learn some slangs and stuff, you learn something that you are not actually expect to speak, but you must know it, bad words being part of it. Finally, I could suffer less like pronounce correctly "restaurant" or ordering "olive oil" without having to repeat it a couple of times. I want to say that in Texas, only few times I bumped into that real "Texan" accent, see, "Texan", not "Southern", the handyman, usually less educated people, everyone else, would pretty much speak without that accent. Best experience of my life. 5 years living a dream. I had to return, and I love the videos here, yours too, to help us keeping up with accent and English in general. Remember: "office English is easier as you will listen and write similar words every single day.

English is one of the difficult and incomplete language. Amharic Ethiopian language for example pronunciation is not a matter. all spell in words are consonant. once you knows the alphabetic letter you can read or pronounce any types words with out difficulty. therefore in Amharic language no need of training or tutorial about pronunciation and listening . knowing the Amharic alphabetic letter and meaning words is sufficient to be fluent speaker. this why Amharic language is better than other languages in script.

For me, a Swede, it's hard to remember the "lik"-ending of Heimlich manuever in Engish instead of a "lich" ending. We tend to pronounce it more like the German pronuciation in Swedish.
