The Best pronunciation lessons ever

[@johnkirton2534]

I am an English language coach and Elliot does great work. If you follow his advice on pronounciation, your listening skills will get much better too. Great work Elliot! You guys are changing the face of L2 teaching and kids in schools in Italy and Spain, where the teaching is generally weak, would do better using your videos than doing boring homework.

Hi need your contact please

[@yinchu3812]

Thanks so much for the video! I thought I was ok with these two sounds until someone mistakenly thought I said “sleep” when I tried to said” slip” yesterday. Amazing video! Helped me so much

[@rodolfoluis5]

What's going on man? I'm missing your video. You really make a great job, don't stop it.

[@2140Paco]

You're so good! One of the best english teachers youtubers!! I'm so glad I've found you. I hope I could have your accent one day but it's nearly impossible if I don't live in England. I was wondering from what part of England you are . I just know you're from the south and you remind me to those english listenings my teachers keep putting on the listening test! haha. Great video, mate!!

[@ETJEnglish]

I'm from Bristol in the South West of England. Thanks for watching!

[@ollytwist590]

[@conexaolondresbrasil]

OMG 😱 How come just now I discover you!!?! It is everything I was looking for...Perfect lessons from a native person with the perfect original English accent!!!!Thank yooou👏👏👏👏

[@leysansaetova6898]

Hello Elliott! Thank you very much for your lessons. Your accent and pronunciation are so clear, I understand your speech and it makes me more confident, because that means I am on a right way in learning English and you are on a right way in teacihg it! It would be great if you made more lessons about pronunciation of different sounds, specificity of British accent, intonation into sentense/question and so on. Anyway, it is just a wish and your videos are still very useful and imoirtant for those who are learning English. Спасибо!

[@GamalAbedelNasser]

ne za chta devochka!

[@Archana-fd6bl]

Love your videos because they are useful. Can you please upload more videos of British Expressions. It's not that I can't google it or download apps to learn it, but by watching your videos it is really easy to remember. You elaborate every detail and give appropriate examples :)

[@estherariza]

Hi Elliot! Thank you so much for this video. I think the most difficult thing is to use those words properly in a sentence, because you speak faster and it's difficult to say them in the appropiate way. However, I definitely agree with you, we need to practise as much as possible. I'm looking forward to watching your next video😊

[@munisashakhova1603]

I love the way you say “Okay” after a short pause and touch your glasses) it’s so cute :) And of course, thank you for your videos, they’re really helpful)

Hi I've currently subscribed your channel on KZbin and be a big fan to catch you up when a new video is realised for me to fix up my accent into English and also understand English as I personally speak Australia English since I've builded up my basic language skills over there for couple of years. Your English accent is awesome and lessees would be bloody helpful that is kind of accent goals for me :D. Even though, I will be working in America very soon, I will keep practicing myself to speak English rather than America English in America lol.

[@John2corner]

Can you make a video of how to pronounce "Lid"? I have found many nonnative speakers cannot pronounce: "lid" even when they know how to pronounce "I" as in live pretty well.

[@fatimej2483]

I think a pretty tough one is: easily Xd the first one is the Long i: sound the second is the short one and the third sits between the two

[@mathewbarin1805]

[@oumeimabenmebarek6177]

Hello Teacher, Could you, please, do some lessons where we can discuss a topic.So you can give us the vocabulary (and maybe pronunciation) that can be used. For instance, the words used in the football game, in business and perhaps in Geology, why not! so we can talk about earthquakes. Thanks for teaching, I am learning a lot with you. Greetings

[@DCALC]

Hello Elliot, could you please make a video on English levels A,B,C.

[@2strelizia]

You are very good teacher(I've learned English in England for 8 years and I've been living in England for 13 years, now I keep learning on my own because ESOL teachers are useless at teaching real English pronunciation) I 'm really confused because all books and videos of British? pronunciation say the i in it the shape of the mouth is rounded and the long sound on cheese the shape of the mouth is like a big smile?!!!

[@mrcraftiest]

Each like ich, itch like ech

[@yangxu8506]

Eliott, your videos are very useful for me. but i met some problems these days, 1 how to pronounce what had ,such as what had become of her, and have had , 2 how to pronounce what was,what was left of my heart i would appreciate if you reply me or make a video about it Best wishes

[@Pidalin]

We have a lot of disadvantages as Czech speakers, but the fact that we have long vowels is a massive advantage, I can totaly imagine how annoying it has to be for English speakers when someone pronounces words like ship and sheep the same because foreigners do the same when trying to speak Czech and yes, it can turn word into totaly different word. 😀 Especially other slavic speakers like Russians or Poles do that, they don't understand concept of long vowel at all, they think it's some accent or something, but it's not, it's just a long vowel. I know in English, it's not exactly like our long vowels, but we can at least hear the difference thank our long vowels. It's even more important in Czech wher you can have several long and short vowels in one word and when you confuse it, you can turn it to like 5 different words just by mixing up long/short vowels, so when a Russian is trying to speak Czech, we always pretend that we didn't understand correctly to show him that he said totaly different word, but sometimes it really can be confusing. 😀

[@xavierandinoayala9047]

Porque no subes más videos, i love your videos

[@maryam-us7uf]

I wonder what's the difference between [I] sound and [i] sound. The word "chili" have both of these sounds.
