Hi. I wanted to tell you that I'm an English teacher and usually teaching English phonology course at undergraduate level. I use your video to give my students a taste of native speaker. Your videos are a great help and my students also love watching them and are able to get the right pronunciation. In particular, the videos on stress and intonation are very useful. Thanks for this.

Dear Teacher. Good morning. I am so grateful for your wonderful lessons. I have watched all your videos more than 100 ! Your lessons are very informative and compound. Could you kindly teach about chunking, phrasing and the difference between chunking, phrasing and the tone unit? And one more thing. Is tone unit the same as thought group? Thank you.

Thank you so much for your great help. I appreciate you ❤

[@islammansour559]

Hi Bellie at 15:17 you mean fall in pitch ( falling intonation) or full in pitch (rising intonation)

[@BillieEnglish]

Hello! I meant 'fall', but it's probably more accurate to say that there is a pitch change in general.

[@ashokbhardwaj5390]

Wonderfull!!...thanks

Can you do some tutorial on devoicing consonants such as Z and V since it's common in many Accents?

[@BillieEnglish]

Thank you for the suggestion. I will consider the topic!

[@BaronVonBattenberg]

[@BillieEnglish]

Hello Mustafa! Thank you for watching my videos and your comment :-) You might find this video helpful on connected speech in English: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHe4Zp6nrc13bNU

[@Ignasg_30]

Hello.I have a doubt.What is the difference between a prominent syllable and a tonic syllable?

[@tayluvofficial]

I have a presentation coming 2 days and I'm not prepared at all 😥😭

[@titon1008]

My native language is hindi please guide me how can I recognise the whole sentences after listenning these tone units

[@Ramadmurthy]

None is dissatisfied with your teaching.

[@ucnguyenvan8176]

Thanks so much for your effort. When I watched your video, I noticed that you pronounced “s” in toys as “s” when according to the rule, it must be “z”. Can you explain? Because Actually I’ve never heard of any native speakers follow that silly “s-es” pronunciation rule.

[@juanparadinas7696]

In final consonants a phenomenon called devoicing occurs, which is closely related to prefortis clipping. End consonants keep the voice when linking to a next word that starts with vowel. Anyway, when devoicing, it is not a strong s just a short and smooth one. Same happens with past tenses ending in -d, you can hear like a soft t instead
