I'm deeply thankful for your inspiring lessons. It's the very first time I finally understand how to get used to the right way of learning intonation. Thank you, Rachel

[@araobrito4429]

Rachel, you are my inspiration to study English! Oh my Gosh! when I grow up, I want to be like you dear. Your English is so American and so clear that listening to you seems like a melody to me. Thanks dear for helping us! Regards from Brazil!

[@MOZART666]

Im from Brazil and im learning English alone since i was 14 years old. Now im 17. And i can understand 95% of this video.

[@rachelsenglish]

That's great @luluby691! Keep it up!

[@rachelsenglish]

I hear the ending. I did link the two words, so the [dʒ] sound is not released, it goes right into the next word. This makes it sound like 'encoura-jew' Best, Rachel

[@rachelsenglish]

Good news --- my videos are available in China free of charge. They just need to go to my website to view the non-KZbin videos. Best, Rachel

[@sarooon9242]

Rachel, Intonation have been the most difficult for me. People in general think that I'm an another country. My intonation have caused me six engaged. People in general do not realizes that intonation is probably one of the most important part of speech.

[@muhammadbarazy6706]

OMG,I can't believe that you are singing opera o.O , you are full of surprises ^_^ thank you

[@AlexTheEpic]

That's impressive. I didn't know you are a singer 🤩🤩

[@MasterBott01]

Thank you so much for this video and the references... I checked those out and found them very helpful. You are an EXCELLENT teacher.

[@rosp8375]

Thank you so much from Brazil!!!🤩

[@rachelsenglish]

Hello there and thanks for watching @rosp8375!

[@andrewmagic7014]

Wow, Rachel, you're such an incredibly talented singer!!! How come I didn't know that!

[@rachelsenglish]

Thanks Andrew! :)

[@toptop7686]

l really like your educational videos. Thank you for all your efforts.

[@NguyễnChíCường-n2r]

I love your lessons so much. Thanks a million! Could you please answer these questions: 1. Do thought groups, tone/ rhythm/ intonation units and tune shapes mean the same or different things? 2. Are there tips for practicing speaking English while we can pay attention to rhythm units, tone units and intonation patterns at the same time? 3. How are the sounds /e/ and /æ/ pronounced when they are followed by a plosive/ stop consonant, as in extra, excellent, egg, accurate, accuracy...?

[@rachelsenglish]

Good questions! 1. Yes, the second two sound the same as a thought group, but with a focus on the musical elements of that group. 2. My main tip for this would be to get lots of repeats at different speeds of the same thought group, so you can focus on the different aspects individually, then together. Be patient and record yourself. 3. These vowels will have their usual EH and AA sounds in these cases. Hope this helps!

[@rachelsenglish]

@GreenVidz209 Ah, ok. Different languages do have different placement, for example, Russian compared to English is further down in the throat and feels deeper than American English. It all depends on your frame of reference.

[@robertaxavier3587]

Wow 😮 Your voice is very powerful 😮

[@kuangvickie3132]

Thanks a lot!! It is very kind of you to make these videos. THANKS!

[@ivylee517]

Wow that singing part is amazing 👏

[@rabie17]

[@rachelsenglish]

@BigMTBrain Thanks! I don't have anything up other than the clip you saw. To see the whole scene, you can do a KZbin search on 'Ariadne Duet'.

[@rachelsenglish]

Nice to meet you! please sign up for my mailing list to hear about future courses. You can sign up on the homepage of my website.

[@rachelsenglish]

@LeandroESv Yes, seriously ... It's me!

[@ELo-wi7vv]

I was so impressed by your signing. WOW

[@rachelsenglish]

I know, it's a problem! I'm working on alternative videos on my website so that everyone will be able to see the videos, even if they're in China, if they go through my website rather than KZbin. Send people there!! I think it will work. :)

[@manly427]

[@rachelsenglish]

@GreenVidz209 Hi -- yes, the tone/pitch changes throughout a sentence when speaking English. This is very important. Is this what you meant by your question?

[@ChristianSenejean]

Thank you teacher

[@rachelsenglish]

My pleasure @ChristianSenejean!

[@rachelsenglish]

@pavelzhivaga Добро пожаловать!

Rachel,I want to tell you we cannot visit the KZbin webside in china,our goverment has ban the many website that include the KZbin,Facebook,twitter and so on. So we must ''through the wall'' to visit these video on the KZbin, yet , just a few of chinese have a bility to ''throgh the wall''....

[@BigMTBrain]

@rachelsenglish - BRAVA! Great voice! I only discovered the joy of opera three years ago. I really kicked myself for not discovering my passion for it sooner. OK, silly... (a) you are a great educator, (b) you are a great organizer (you know how to organize information in novel and effective ways), (c) you have a great and pleasant presentation style, (d) you have a great voice, and I assume, (e) you have a great passion for singing. To me, it's obvious. Voice lessons on YT / Skype are booming!

[@BlogOozIe]

Awesome performance! I'm deeply impressed!

[@HassanAhmedberkia]

Very nice

[@rachelsenglish]

Thanks Hassan!

[@БорисКормилицын-и2е]

Some textbooks say that in an English sentence stressed syllables should be pronounced at regular intervals. Is that true? If so the best way to master the English pronunciation is to use a metronome.

[@rachelsenglish]

Great question! I think you could use this rule and be understood, however you wouldn't sound very natural! There are definitely different rhythms used in the speech of native speakers, it is not always regular. Practicing with a metronome will probably create a kind of robotic speech pattern.

[@kevserserdarhocaoabtingili1937]

Thank you so much for this valuable content. I have a question about the difference between sentence stress and intonation. In a sentence we put more emphasis on content words and less on grammatical words so we use a lower pitch with structural words. This is called stress. But we also use rising and falling intonation with some words. Intonation can express our attitude and feelings but the examples you provided for sentence stress might also convey our feelings. For example I saw her at the mall with JOHN. Here we stress John but it expresses my surprise that I cannot believe she went there with JOHN. We can say that both the words we stress might change in a sentence depending on what message we want to convey but also the way we make changes to the pitch we can have the same effect. I would really appreciate it if you could clarify it for me. Thank you

[@rachelsenglish]

Thanks for being here and thanks for the questions! Word stress within a sentence really does depend on the meaning you want to get across. Here's a playlist that might be helpful: kzbin.info/aero/PLE426E4F7EEBDDCD0

[@f.arielliu8817]

I like your video! But would you consider change the description '提高口语的美式英语', which I think is incorrect in grammar, into '提高美式英语口语'? (That's my personal opinion.)

[@michael_jjy]

F. Ariel Liu *consider changing

[@JohnDoe-rv4kp]

By the way the Russian translation in the notes of this video is inaccurate. "Улучшение говорил американский вариант английского языка"

[@BigMTBrain]

@rachelsenglish - Beautifully done, as always! Do you have any of your musical performances available for viewing on another channel or website? You sounded great!

[@NVMWHATPPLSAY]

The Arabic equivalent of "Improve your pronunciation in American English" should be "تحسين التحدث باللهجة الأمريكية".

[@mahmoudmomen5813]

[@maherawar9791]

[@С_ЯЗЫКОМБлогПолиглота]

[@SpanishwithMarco]

The spanish version of improve your pronunciation in American English should be "Mejora la Pronunciación del Inglés Americano"

[@laliberte5740]

How practice intonation sounds like an American? My native language is Vietnamese, Vietnamese people usually speak English with a very high tone

[@PrincessofKeys]

Different part of america have different pronounciation of words

[@levnikiforov7003]

The Russian version of "Improve your prounication in American English" is "Улучшение произношения американского акцента"

[@AntropovAnimation]

+Lev Nikiforov no

[@AntropovAnimation]

+Lev Nikiforov you wrote "Improving of American accent pronunciation". This isn't correct

[@olareda6365]

Hello rachel . Can you explain stress and melody and rhythm in the real life redio .

[@rachelsenglish]

Hello! I break down rhythm and inflection in my Ben Franklin exercises. You can check out my content on those topics here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2TKZmSum9Sjf6c

[@souhi1027]

rachel i'm focusing on my english pronunciation cause i thought it's crucial for my professor! actually i can't sounds like american or british but i wanna be correct at english pronunciation and intonation at least. so i'm focused on thses two on your playlist. am i doing right thing? i need your help.

[@rachelsenglish]

I think intonation, stress and linking are good places to start your American English accent training. I'd also recommend checking in on your self-recordings to see if there are any specific vowels or consonants that need some improvement. You can get a teacher's help (the Academy offers WhatsApp classes, evaluations and private lessons) if you need help identifying focus topics. Good luck with your studies! Here's my Intonation playlist to get started: kzbin.info/aero/PLrqHrGoMJdTTSRNwRh0VVjO_KXA1La4Dw&si=vIco8nAKUfpA8AdP

[@swapnilmalage4475]

Hello, Rachel!! Is there any differences in American and British intonations???

Yes

[@albertmo4865]

Hi, What software did you use to show the pitch? Thanks.

[@vanabee]

nice performance =)

[@celiaortiz1499]

Intonation, NOT Inonation.... unlike International where you don't pronouce the first T, in Intonation you do pronounce the first T and final T, so it's an exception to the rule. Your welcome! 😉
