I am an ESL teacher and I always watch Ronnie's videos with great pleasure ! Her sense of humour and the way she explains everything are so close to what I usually try to do while working with my students. The key word is I try because Ronnie has so many great ideas for us and she is the best English teacher for me !

The short vowel "o" sound differs between British and American English. Americans use the "aw" pronunciation, Brits have a unique shorter "o" vowel sound that doesn't exist in American English.

When I was a Primary School teacher I taught my children this little rhyme, to help with the above problem. I also taught my son. " When two vowels go " walking" ( they are in the same word) the first one does the talking and says it's own name." I hope this helps. :)

Ronnie, you're awesome. I've been teaching my Chinese students this for ages. I learnt this out of pure frustration when I just didn't know how to get them to understand when to use long and short sounds, and came across it somewhere. It really changes the game!

[@sardaaribam7926]

I fancy the way she is teaching, really amazing.

[@charlisparkles]

This was taught as 'the Magic E' when I was in primary school (GB). The E at the end changes the vowel sound. Cool that it works for words like sOAp and crEAm though, too. Thanks Ronnie!

[@sophieamara111]

Hi! And what about "have"... could you please tell me if they taught you some exceptions when they taught you the "magic E" rule? Thanks a bunch!

[@piopioscuatro]

Hi Ronnie, I learned English a long time ago, but I never learned phonetics or sounds. I realize that when I go to read I don't know how to pronounce some words. Searching on youtube who could teach me I found this video, which you did 4 years ago. WOW you really know how to teach and what it takes for students to learn. And your humor makes learning much more enjoyable. Thank you so much.

[@konstantya]

don't get too excited, unfortunately, even in this lesson Ronnie herself mentioned 'soup' and there are many more words like this (dove, etc.) that show that the 'guidelines' apply rather narrowly

[@janelu1339]

Hi Ronnie, thank you so much for this video. The guideline is pretty helpful and makes sense! I am an English teacher in China who's trying to solve the same problem with teaching pronunciations. The question I have is about longer words - when longer words come into play, we have to deal with stressed and non-stressed vowels, and even the same vowel in stressed syllables can have totally different pronunciations. I wonder how we can categorise that and make the whole reading system more systematic? Anyways, this is a comment from 5 years later haha. But your video definitely helped me a lot. Maybe I should take pronouncing longer words from pronouncing short ones first. (teach - teacher, the "e" is the same sound though the length changes.) Anyways, thank you again!!

[@lekos225]

Hello Ronnie! What if a word has more than one vowel? Example: encounter

[@elizabethnapier8168]

Read each syllable as it's own word. In your example, encounter, the "en" would be a short vowel, "count" has a dipthong (ou) (pronounced like "ow" when someone pinches you), and "er" is an ending suffix using an r-controlled vowel.

[@lekos225]

@@elizabethnapier8168 Wha do you mean with an r-controlled? Is it a short sound? According to Ronnie, "if you have two vowels in the word, for example: "a" and "e", we're going to say the first vowel like it sounds like in the alphabet, so "a". We're going to say: "ba", and we do not say: "bak-e"; we say "bake"(/beɪk/). So, the first vowel is going to sound like the alphabet: "bake". What about this one? We don't say: "fah-me", like "ah"; we say: "fame"(/feɪm/). And, again, we don't say the last vowel in the word. So, this works with two-vowel words. The "a" we pronounce like an "a" /eɪ/, and the "e" or the second vowel is silent". What I want to know is, will a vowel sound like the alphabet in a word with more than one vowel? Example, allophonic

[@ahmedarmenteros7408]

¡Gracias!

[@JorgeSpina1980]

I found some exceptions like love, heart, found, soup.
