I like how you're introducing the difference between formal and informal speech represented in your clothes too. Good Job, Rachel!

[@luciamihailescu4696]

Your lessons fit me like a glove. After testing, I was located at advanced medium level. But I realize that my problem is related to the fact that I do not understand quite well when people talk quickly in American movies, or in stores. Also I have not made ​​much progress in speech, because my family does not speak English at home. I like especially "Contractversation lessons, Phrasal Verbs, Amercan English Imitation Exercises". These lessons seem very useful to me. It is extremely important that your lessons are free. Thank you so much.

the /i:/ sound in been is standard in BritishEnglish (Received pronunciation), /ɪ/ is standard for American English. There are, of course, regional variations as well

[@M0one0904]

In the formal way and without contractions you sound British guys, the American accent is better for me

Woow it really sounds so much better and natural too, already on my favorite ones. Thank you both!

[@soundsofmusic1831]

Thanks for American English conversation Rachel's English video.

[@jothi20]

Barbilina I listened again; I think she said "If you like this video"; perhaps there was a contraction due to the flow at "like this" and hence it sounded "likes" to me at my first hearing. I am not sure though.

[@sevennrain]

I have a friend who always speak english using british accent. while my friends always say that my english accent is very nice and fast. then I thought, what accent do I actually use? after seeing this video I realized that I probably using the American English accent. I can conclude that because I used to watch American movies before, so I learned a lot more from there. by watching your videos I hope my English will getting better in the future :)

Periskila Dina hello.. could i learn english with via whatspp.. i wanna speak about english

[@wangcao1501]

Totally, sometimes I try not to use contractions because I can't tell these words from native speakers' talking when they are contracted. Influenced by my mother tongue, I always try to catch every single word so that I feel that I understand the whole thing

[@azizajlali1023]

Thank you Rachel it` very useful. Actually, I have studied English literature,but when I some natives talked to me I can not understand all what he said

[@rachelsenglish]

Yes, it can be very hard to understand spoken English even if you can read it very well!

[@azizajlali1023]

so how can I overcome this problem very quickly. By the way I`m living in alexandria va but I`m working and living with arabs people

[@mohibullah9512]

As the teacher is very good.

[@gilbarros3302]

Rachel, this video is awesome. Thanks for your time and effort doing this. You said that your students are reluctant to employ reductions but I can relate to that because English is not my first language as well. Most of times we are afraid of making mistakes (like those I should have made writing this message), therefore we avoid using contractions to be better understood. I dont intend to be right. It's just my opinion.

[@ibrahimahmed8274]

Hi, Rachel🙂When we have N apostrophe T contractions such as didn't, is the rule that we could either 1) make the T a stop t, or 2) make the T a silent t?
