[@mrkassimabdalla9454]

Thank you

I love the way he sounds. He seems to be passionate about it. Nice how he stresses words and articulates the words. So clear. Wanna speak JUST LIKE HIM when I "grow up". haha

[@rachelsenglish]

+L. Érick Yes, Tom has fantastically clear yet casual American English.

[@RuyG]

+Greg McGrath They say just "Ve", very quickly and softly. 'WhaVyou beendoin'?

[@dayatferday2527]

please relax

[@TheSweetmorenita]

You're right! As a English learner I was rushed to keep up with the pace of native speakers and it was so difficult... Not only I needed to think and translate it in my mind, I needed to pronounce it correctly.....and do it all at the speed of people who didn't need to translate or even think so much, it was just flowing. I'm working on pronouncing and articulating now...

[@thocobay]

thank you so much Tom Kelley and Reachel! I like to learn your teaching English like that, I hope you more videos

[@marsinaa]

Hi, Rachel! I think I'm going to be pretty sentimental now but I really do love you! I mean, in my job American English pronunciation (i know it sounds weird) is much more important than vocabulary and language knowledge at all. I've always though that I've never had my native accent while I was speaking English but heard it finally when I moved to US for the first time. And the worst thing was - i couldn't understand where exactly was my mistake, and was very depressed about that. You helped me to hear and improve the sounding of myself, helped a lot. Thank you so much, you're doing a great job, and please, keep going!

[@starffgamer1258]

Hi Rachel, fantastic interview tom has an incredible accent. He has given nice tips on how can we practice our own TEDx talk transcript to native speakers however, I learned some words in this conversation 'loosen up, light bulb movement, extrapolate I enjoyed this conversation. Thanks.

[@rachelsenglish]

Hello Rachel, I am Roopesh. hope you're doing good! I'm not very good in speaking English now I started watching you're Video's I am confident that if I do this consistently, I believe will speak better than now.

[@Jan1st1993]

Im so in love with Tom's voice yeah

[@roozmin100]

Rachel! Thank you very much. You are great. I really enjoy your lessons. You are so generous. The way you add explanations to your videos is awesome.

[@IngridRodriguez-vf7po]

Both are awesome teachers. ❤

[@rachelsenglish]

Thank you @IngridRodriguez-vf7po!

[@egyptian_thoth]

Great video. I am a native speaker, but I have a strong Southern accent that I would like to tone down. I also cut words short and sometimes speak too quickly, so people in the business world get the impression that you're less educated than you really are. I've been looking for lessons that could help me and this is encouraging. I think that companies/trainers need to market more to native speakers and not focus mainly on non-native speakers. For instance, I have the tendency to ignore training that's marketed heavily towards non-native speakers because I feel that it's not going to help me as much, or the level will be too elementary for me. Communication is the biggest obstacle to succeeding in the work world and I've found this out the hard way. Hopefully your training will help! Thanks for this great interview!

[@rachelsenglish]

+Thoth32 Good tip. I know Tom has worked with at least one American who wanted to neutralize his accent.

[@BRIYONCE1]

+Rachel's English What do you mean by teaching "Character"?

[@alicialagos3130]

Thanks both of you!!!

[@minhtran-mn7kj]

I like your lessons very much.

[@daind0612]

Hi, Rachel. Since I found and started using your channel, my English pronunciation and understanding of everyday speech by native speakers have improved a lot. But I still find it sometimes really hard to understand TV shows and films in English. I have read many articles about experience of non - native speakers learning English as to improving English listening comprehension. They advised me not to expect to catch every word, but to listen for key words and main ideas. The problem is, I am aware of that, but sometimes actors, actresses either talk too fast or softly, i can't even hear a word, so how can i understand what they're saying? Of course, it's impossible. So I hope you can give me some tips on how to improve me English listening skills. Thank you very much.

[@kame1582amigo]

wow I have the exact same issue here. I realize this comment was posted 4yrs ago. Did you come up with any solutions or just let it be and expecting someday you would magically catch what they're saying😂cuz that's what I'm doing rn. 😂

[@towonderlad7319]

Could you learn English?

[@slimshady3032]

rachel.. thank yu so very much for all your efforts .. i gotta tell ya yu doin a great job

[@YoussefTifaddent]

thanks guys you're really doing a very very very nice job.thank you a lot

[@Linguistix]

Love you guys and love the advice both of you have to offer! There's nothing like natural sounding pronunciation in a foreign language. Please keep generating this valuable content. I'd love to collaborate with you some day!

[@lamesgengashu5223]

It is an incredible advice. I like it very well, and I hope that it will bring an improvement in my skill.

[@davideduardos4621]

Hello, Rachel, it's just unbelievable that I just found your channel now. I was all the time searching for something to help me improve my pronunciation skills. I don't know why, but I find it so difficult. I watch everything without subtitles, but even though when it comes to pronunciation I kinda don't feel so confortable. It seems like I'm making a mistake all the time. Thanks for the channel, I will watch all your videos!

[@rachelsenglish]

+David Eduardos I'm so glad you found me!

[@luismanuelg.b9470]

Thanks Rachel , you always teach me something new about American English, God bless you. my question is why some Natives use the T when they say interview and some of them don't use it?

[@marcosasgeo]

I loved that video. Thank you so much!!! (Brazil)

It so interesting tuvm I hope can speak American English fluently

[@Gene0723]

I enjoyed this interview. Very insightful.

[@drigoaragao09]

Hi Rachel! First of all, I think you deserve a prize for the way you are distilling the nuances of the American English. Congratulations! One thing that I'd like to see is the reduction of the preposition "while". Sometime it sounds like /wal/. Is that right? Another thing: how to get exercises to practice your videos? Thanks!

[@tsondoesangmo240]

Which way is best to learn English speaking ?

[@martian2lee]

Tom, great speech!

[@JohnDoe-rv4kp]

Probably also important to take a moderate breath in occasionally.

[@Viatcheslavv]

Не могу поверить, что вы говорите, как настоящие американцы. Такого чистого произношения от жителей Америки услышать невозможно. Подписываюсь на канал

[@esam2017]

Thank you

[@mahferrari1553]

That awesome!

[@wellingtoncoelho544]

Well done

[@SimoneSilva-bb9cp]

Great video

[@josephalphonse1955]

l like it, it's sound great , i'm going to give try

[@alicialagos3130]

Thanks rachel!!!

[@AlbertoGallardoZGZ]

Did he just say "bests" at 1:51??? It blew up my mind!

[@nicelife1634]

it's very good practice

[@XYZ-B2025]

that sounds great

[@LeopoldoSanchez]

Great!!

[@hannguyengia8598]

What should I do when I don't understand. But I realy like hear you talk☺

[@nabafatima5177]

very nice!!!

[@ramonvilasboas930]

thanks Rachel!!! I've git some precious tips!!!! :)

[@Srushti_Tawade]

how do I pronounce the word "though"???

[@rachelsenglish]

+Srushti Tawade You want to use the voiced TH consonant followed by the OH as in NO diphthong - that's it! (Almost like the 'ugh' is silent.)

[@Ricardobzulu]

I'm studying English in London but It is really complicated to understand some native speakers from England. But instead, I find it easier to understand American English. Is it because all my life I've heard american films in original version ? Tks Rachel

[@erikamondragon5229]

THANKYOU!!!

[@abdimohamedosman1776]

Realy i like to learn american english but it seems to me difficulty and i feel shame when i speak at public place and like watching like this videos thnx guys

[@mahmoudiabdennacer1470]

superb

[@THX_1138]

The way Tom pronounces the word "probably" (at 08:14) sounds so strange to me as a native British English speaker. Do most Americans say the word as just one syllable?

[@rachelsenglish]

+THX1138PR No! That was a moment where Tom just spoke too fast! He wasn't very clear with that word. The casual way to say "probably" in American English is more like "prolly" - but many people will say all three syllables. Thanks for catching that!

[@THX_1138]

+Rachel's English I appreciate the clarification. Thank you.

[@deathkt1414]

lol it's sounds like he droped the L sound

[@totalfreedom45]

Rachel, precious being, you're spot on as usual! Tom pronounced "probably" exactly as Americans pronounce the verb "pry." 😹

[@dijonnestricklen7840]

great english .

[@salimmuhammad6109]

Grate sound

[@pacificnorthwest3111]

Hey Rachael, I've been using the word "way" as a short way of saying wait. Like for example I would say "way, what?" Instead of saying "wait, what?" I wanna know if that's right cause sometimes people don't seem to understand what I'm saying. Thanks😀

[@thansoe7474]

A cut above the rest indeed!!

[@adarshbabumk1]

Very helpful

[@minhanhhoangvu1654]

Can you make more Contractversation videos? They are very helpful and I like them a lot!

[@Dana-fr2ff]

Hi Rachel :) Can you share with us how to pronounce (Get out of here!) in American English ? Thanks

[@mariaowen8842]

Great lesson from you both - thank you! And I so love that you are wearing Fluevogs, Rachel! :-)

[@pradelelien3267]

Hi Emma!

[@saullopez855]

thank you for insisting on that silent "T" in the word interview. really helpful.

[@gwa1654]

I would love to buy your book but the value of Dolar in Brazil is terrible.

[@حسنالعراقيالعراقي-غ5ف]

That's nice

[@tay_shivam]

Hii I found your channel on KZbin and I have been trying to improve my communication skill better as far as I know I don’t speak English very confident my Vocablity is nor good please tell me how to speak English easily as a native speaker

[@rachelsenglish]

The best way is a combination of study/practice and actually using the language with native speakers, (preferably). As far as speed goes - the more you can surround yourself with the language the faster you'll learn it. I wish there was a way to magically download a language - but till then - have fun with study and practice and practice and study! :)

[@Grow_with_Sayed]

thankx alot

[@emmaarutiunian426]

Thanks! I'm need you help and am biggener,I can't desaid what way will be good for me learn English language so can you help me please

[@bothike7737]

Thank you so much for your great advice. May I ask a question. How long does it take to sound correctly all the IPA for normal? I'm very hard to memorize them all. 😔 Do you have any advice for that Teacher Rachael?

[@raqali6444]

Thank you alot for your video ,,he mentioned to practice 5 hours *it' s hard to practice, is not it???
