The best teacher of youtube!!!

[@rachelsenglish]

At 4:30 in this video I talk about "dropping the N" but I meant to say "drop the T"! Sorry for any confusion. You won't drop the N here, but you WILL drop the T. You'll hear native speakers do it all the time! :)

@@rachelsenglish lol contractions ! U get them during labor and delivery when u have a baby when u have a contraction ur body pushes the baby down for birth that the best i know 😅😅😅😅 is that right

[@ariane.fandub]

Wow this makes so much sense! Thank you! I'm a non-native speaker trying on some auditions for fun in voice acting animations and it bothered me that even when my pronunciation was very good, my lines didn't feel natural. I knew I've heard some contractions like "isnn he" in shows before, but my bilingual bf was telling me otherwise. Thanks for the explanations, I'll redo less takes because of a missing T. 😁

[@starffgamer1258]

This video is very crucial to none native speakers they never use the contraction some of em use but some em not thanks for making this video

I think this is the only KZbin channel that does in-depth analyses of the American accent. Way to go, Rachel! A small question regarding fast speech: do we hear the /t/ sound in "asked" from the sentence "he asked the..."?

Dear Rachel This is a fantastic video. I’m learning English and I practice it for 20 years +. And you’ve just made me realize that I am still deaf to several English sounds. Not catching the difference between negative and positive affirmation can truly impair your understanding of the situation can’t it? (Dropped t 😀). You’re the first one to make it clear to my ears. That’s brillant 🤩. Thanks a ton. Bertrand from Paris
