Ma’am, your classes are perfect! I am having a great time watching your videos! God bless you for you help. I cannot help watching them

[@monica6376]

Thank you so much, u explains the most difficult parts of English so clearly

[@wendychen-shen1191]

Now I understand why sometimes I feel my sentence broke while I talk... it's because like I try to spell every word out, no wonder I often feel my tongue is knotted in my mouth. But to get better with it, I do need to keep practising. This is truly an eye-opener. Love it.

8:45 trick noun /trɪk/ you said tricks how you make the position or how you move the tongue for tr in tricks are you make the /t/ like you make /tʃ/ then r. or are you move the tongue from /t/ alveolar to /r/ sound or you make /tr/ Thank you.

[@SmoothEnglish1]

Start on the ch position and quickly pull the tongue back for r.

[@ramzy-6566]

@@SmoothEnglish1 Thank you so much for great answer. is the letter T before the R change to /tʃ/ sound like ( train or tree )

[@ramzy-6566]

Hello, you said ( I won't interrupt you ) for blending the last T in interrupt and y is the t and y become /tʃ/ sound in one place using blade of tongue or i make first /t/ sound then move my tongue to /ʃ/ sound. Thank you.

[@SmoothEnglish1]

make the ch in one place using the blade of tongue. Otherwise you'll be too slow.

[@ramzy-6566]

@@SmoothEnglish1 yes your right, you only told me that. Thank you so much.

[@ramzy-6566]

in the sentence ( I am fluent in a foreign language ) is the letter (a) pronounce like /ə/ Thank you

[@SmoothEnglish1]

Which letter a? a in "am" is short e as in egg. a in "a" is /ə/ -yes. a in "lang" is closer to a Long A- as in "aim" but the dictionary calls it a short A. Most Americans raise the Short A before an NG so it's closer to a long A. The "a" in "gauge" is /ə/ or short i- as in itch.

[@ramzy-6566]

@@SmoothEnglish1 I mean the letter a before foreign. a foreign.

[@tonymenez4292]

Hello teacher, Thanks a ton for sharing !!!! Could you help how to pronounce the Books of Bible? It's so tough..

[@SmoothEnglish1]

I'm not sure I would pronounce them correctly!

[@reneesh7057]

Hi, thank you. Can you please suggest a book contains all these informations? Please make more videos like this.

[@SmoothEnglish1]

No single book has all this info, but I'm working on online courses on Udemy, which will have all this info. Some of them are already out.

[@reneesh7057]

@@SmoothEnglish1 Thank you. I have been watching it.

[@eegoal]

10:30 can we blend the d and and zh, and just say it like /ri-djur/ 'ɹī-dʒɚ/ ?

[@SmoothEnglish1]

Sure, that works. As long as you adhere to the rules of rhythm and don't emphasize those sounds, no one will notice the difference.

[@eegoal]

@@SmoothEnglish1 Ok thank you for your answer.

[@abdelrahmanshohdy418]

❤❤

[@bmpro3569]

Is it up to the speaker to say “visit your” without blending and “visit sher” blending the words?

[@SmoothEnglish1]

Yes, the speaker can decide whether to blend or not. We don't always blend, just when we want to be faster.

[@مصطفىإدريسي-ز1ك]

Why in Colorado they pronounce "ears" differently than how you do?

[@SmoothEnglish1]

There is a subtle difference in pronunciation from state to state. I am from Illinois but have been living in California for 22 years. I did live in Colorado for 6 years as a child.
