Hi Kevin. You teach American English while the dictionaries are made by the British people. Personally, I totally believe in you because you are not only an American English speaker, but also a well-educated English teacher. Without the Internet and all the social media vehicles, we would not get a chance to access your valuable source. Thank you so much! By the way, guess what, Dave, who you must know, finally admitted being wrong in criticizing you for "finding faults".

I must admit your explanation is really a master's degree level of American pronunciation for devoted learners of English. But still, in my humble opinion, it is nitty-gritty advice for an average English learner since besides the Standard American accent there are so many of them in the U.S.A. Just to mention the Southern accent which is my beloved one. 😁 In conclusion, you are one of the best teachers on KZbin, especially for devoted learners who are working hard to achieve the Holy Grail of American accent, grammar, and knowledge of English.🙏🙂🙏

I was a linguamarina follower but I realized she uses to make a lot of mistakes.Since I found you in youtube you became my favorite teacher. any corrections are welcome.

[@kingo_friver]

This wouldn't even be controversial if textbooks were NOT the primary (or only) source of this language in our initial learning process. I would recommend one more KZbin video titled "Why these English phonetic symbols are all WRONG". Linguist Geoff Lindsey explains how terrible idea it is to call them "short i/long i" at 24m20s.

[@fredylopez2477]

Well, that comment is coherent, it's got a lot of sense, 'cause dictionaries weren't made for nothing, the fact that people speak their language the way they want, doesn't mean that dictionaries are wrong 'cause they're part of the primary sources.

You made me not to dedicate time to other famous teachers. I'm just following your videos. Thanks very much

[@RaimundoSantos79]

I agree that in American English the pronunciation of words such as "bank, thank, etc" have the "ei" sound. However, in normal conversation there's no difference at all when one pronounces such words. So, it really doesn't matter if you use the "ei" or the "e" sound. The "ei" sound in these words is only noticed when pronounced individually.

[@mohammadhakimfarid1988]

What about British English do they pronounce thing like green beans too?

[@lenglesa]

Dictionaries provide standard pronunciations. I'm not, of course, saying that other pronunciations like /beɪŋk/ are wrong. I asked my native friend who is well versed pronunciation-wise and she told me that she's rarely heard people say /beɪŋk/ as opposed to /bæŋk/. This seems to be a hasty generalisation. Channel is good. Let's agree to disagree, though.

[@pashu16af]

How careful you are not to mention what English your friend speaks. Is it American English? In every american movie you can clearly hear how they, American actors, pronounce the words the way Kevin and Rachel say. Sounds like your friend is somewhat special, from the UK or not from this planet. Chrismas is coming, invite her to the cinema, I mean to the movies ;)

[@user-uq9ls7vz1s]

Hello, Kevin! Can you please explain pronunciation of 'an' in general. I hear 'ei' sound in words like animal, can't, etc. Is it correct?

[@-.__Hazel__.-]

Good question!

[@fredylopez2477]

Animal = / 'anəməl /, I think the first one is "a" sound and there are 2 schwas. an = /an/ it's the same. can't = it's got a little pause to differentiate it from positive form, I mean, "can" but the pronunciation is the same except for that little pause I.mentioned above, that's to say: - can = / kan /. - can't = / kant / (the "t" is almost NOT pronounced, it's just the little pause that makes the difference, if it weren't for that little fact the two words would have the exact same pronunciation) I'd say that there's no "ei" sound in any of those words. But I can be wrong.

[@davidllamosjose]

If these two teachers go on teaching strictly English like that they will just get to confuse all the people who watch their channel in order to learn English.

[@vladimirkorobko6730]

I think we need some assistance of specialized sound-analyzing equipment, ideally with AI capabilities, to help us tell the difference between what we hear/see as transcribed by the dictionaries and what our respected hosts teach us and how they pronounce certain sounds. 'Slaying' (God forbid) and 'slang', according to EFE, should have the same sound /ei/, whereas in reality we hear different ones: the former one has /ei/ and the latter one sounds like /e/ with a palatalized /ŋ/ at the end of the word. The term 'long /ei/' sounds misleading - /ei/ is not just long, it consists of two sounds, it's a diphthong.

[@vladimirbaloyan440]

@@pashu16af Yep, he said "dictionaries are wrong" but they show The UK English so why they're wrong

[@pashu16af]

​@@vladimirbaloyan440 Dictionaries are wrong, because they still use incorrect transcription and at the same time they use correct pronunciation online. They don't show UK English only, where did you get it from? There is alway an indication wether a word or phrase is used in Australia or America, for inctance. You see the point is that you can go to ANY online dictionary and listen to US and UK pronunciations of the word 'bank' and you'll be surprised. There should be a public call at least to re-write the transcription even in Webster Dictionary. The process of updating transcription is not that easy, so dictionaries stay incorrect in this part.

[@davidllamosjose]

I'm terribly sorry teachers for disagreeing with you but she's completely right, and that other way of pronunciation that this other man Jack one is teaching is just used in a specific region in the United States of America, not even English teachers or professors in other countries speak or know those pronunciations as they are not the standards and used ones, so please, when you teach about pronunciation have always got in mind that you can't teach what is not standard all about the world, or correct actually, not either say that the English dictionary pronunciation is incorrect and what you say is indeed cause you will seem like a windbag, before criticising someone concerning the pronunciation do a deep study about the different manners of people pronouncing the words in every single region in the United States of America in that case.

Why makes American English so controversial!!!!

[@jeanandre6129]

There's no such thing as American English. There's English. That's it

[@user-pc3wb5fv6m]

It's very doubtful what you said in this video. A lot of examples you gave do not sound like /ei/. The problem is IPA, especially simplified one used in English dictionaries do not distinguish shades of /æ/ but it's definitely not /ei/ in most cases. However a lot of Americans do tend to make /æ/ somewhat close to /ei/ when the "a" letter is followed by sounds /m/, /n/, /ŋ/ like in damn, man, anger. This sound you're talking about is /eə/ Plus even when there's not /m/, /n/, /ŋ/ the /æ/ sound is different in the UK and in the US and even different within these countries. Listen to your own example (10:12), does the sound in the words "cranky" and "maid" sound identical to you? I also noticed you keep calling diphthongs such as /ei/, /oʊ/ "long vowels" like in words take and cold. But nobody calls these sounds long, it's just wrong, they're diphthongs, it's different. They already have names, you're reinventing the bicycle.

[@pashu16af]

Oh, c'mon stop it. Go to ANY online English dictionary, click US pronunciation and hear for yourself. You'll be surprised. Don't be dillusioned.

>However a lot of Americans do tend to make /æ/ somewhat close to /ei/ when the "a" letter is followed by sounds /m/, /n/, /ŋ/ like in damn, man, anger. This sound you're talking about is /eə/ the sound in damn and man is the same. but anger is different. we use the long A. as in "tape". >does the sound in the words "cranky" and "maid" sound identical to you? yes, the vowel sound in "cranky" and "maid" sounds identical. it's the same phoneme. while it's possible the final consonant affects the quality of the preceding sound slightly, we can still clearly hear a long A sound in both and so that's what should get transcribed as the pronunciation. we see the same thing happening in other words. like for example "bat" and "bad" where the final voiced consonant "lengthens" the vowel sound (the A in bad is longer than in bat due to the final D). surely you're not suggesting we should transcribe /a/ in bat and /a/ in bad differently? >But nobody calls these sounds long, it's just wrong, they're diphthongs, it's different. that's not true. little kids in america learn the short vs long distinction in school. and we have assignments where we sort words into long vs short versions of each vowel. we know it doesn't mean the sound is said longer. it's just a label for the sound. here is how it works: long A => tape. short A => tap. long E => beet. short E => bet. Long I => bite. short I => bit. long O => note. short O => not. long U => cute. short U => cut. Kevin+Liza are just trying to teach esl learners the familiar vowel sound classification that we use for children in america. this system works for young kids who are learning to write and spell. it helps a lot. it's not a bad system. it should be just fine for ESL learners as well. "diphthong" on the other hand is a very obscure and technical (maybe even academic) term. and only people passionate about linguistics and phonetics would know of it. the average native speaker wouldn't know what a diphthong was. so it makes sense EFE would avoid that language, since their goal is to get students/viewers to assimilate real life everyday english, not get bogged down in details and conventions used only by a few academic niches. you see that they similarly don't overly rely on the IPA and go for phonetic respellings instead. because that's what's more natural and universally understood by americans.

[@vivianesato397]

[@davidllamosjose]

In the case of the word "bank" the phoneme is "æ" which means that this word has not got a simple sound but it's variant as it sounds at the beginning some similar to "ɜ" and at the end to "ɑː" but people in the United States of America tend to make stress at the beginning of this pronounciation, therefore it is more heard a sound similar to"ɜ" at the beginning and almost nothing a sound similar to "ɑː" sound at the end but they do pronounce the phoneme "æ" at all and in the United Kingdom this is the opposite to the United States of America, they stress the last sound and therefore it is not heard that much at the beginning a sound similar to "ɜ" and then at the end it is heard a strong sound similar to "ɑː".
