[@NoajmIsMyName]

Did watch almost all her videos ?

[@LanIost]

I had no idea this was a hard word for people to pronounce while learning English. Just goes to show how amazingly different languages can be because this is honestly a word that basically NO native speaker would ever guess would be one that people would struggle with. I followed along though, trying to forget what I already knew, and I can totally see how it could be.

[@AlexOjideagu2]

+LanIost Same here, I'm English and had no idea this was a hard word

[@it_was_my_cat]

I've always wondered if maybe British English is easier to learn? The vowel sounds are usually much more relaxed in terms of mouth movements. "Girl" for example.

[@rachelsenglish]

That would make sense to me, actually! The R alone is much easier, I would think, in British English.

[@it_was_my_cat]

@@rachelsenglish just to be clear, English is my first language, so I'm not trying to downplay the usefulness of your videos. I watch your channel because I find it quite interesting to learn how other people learn languages, and the peculiarities of English pronunciation that I take for granted.

Rachel, i have more than 20 years learning and improving my english, and up until now I have been struggling pronouncing these two words: Girl, Murder, Murderer. Combining RL, DeR is challenging. Saying Girl sounded like I was drowning, the tip of the tongue was so curled up so when changing to the Dark L, the tip of my tongue flapped making the flap T sound to change to the Dark L. 20 years... until NOW. I finally understood my BIG mistake, I was making too much effort curling the tongue up, It needed to be way more relaxed so the transition to the Dark L is smooth. I want to cry :'( I finally made a perfect Girl pronunciation. It took me an hour to finally make my brain control my tongue correctly. THANK YOU RACHEL. You explanations are honestly THE BEST. Please make a video with MURDER and MURDERER pronunciation. A BIG BEAR HUG.

[@bozhenwang5493]

Hi, Rachel. As to the darl L, you said the tip of tongue comes up to the roof of mouth. My question is that does the tip touch the roof? This is confusing for me now, though I should focus on the back part of my tongue.

[@rachelsenglish]

Hi! You will bring the tongue up to make contact with the roof of the mouth when you are linking into vowel or diphthong sounds. This is called "finishing" the Dark L, and is really only required to make the Dark L clear in linking situations. When the Dark L is the final sound in a phrase or is linking into a consonant sound, you don't need to make this contact. You are absolutely right to focus on the back part of your tongue for the Dark L.

It is easy to roll the word together like break. And Should the tongue flip up when one curls it or down. I have heard that the tongue should move back and I have also heard that the tongue should be placed in the midde going up. My R feels like its so dull or empty. I hope you can get back to me.

hello it's me, Rachel is possible an video about of the different use between great - big - grand??

[@rachelsenglish]

+sebastian alegria Thanks for the video suggestion!

[@Slevana5]

+sebastian alegria Great is used as in 'I am doing great' or something usually of importance or size. As in The Great King or The Great Deku Tree. It's used to refer to someone or something of importance. Big is just augmentative like a big dog. It's a noticeable difference in size. Huge is of a greater size than big so that's another. Grand is much like great as well because it is used more for importance or to show how kind of majestic something is. Like The Grand Canyon, in this case it is telling how massive it is and how great it is. Grand is greater than great so take note of that much like how huge is bigger than big. If you also want to use the word "awesome" properly then it's to describe something of an immense size. As if you are in awe of how big the object is. Jupiter is of awesome size for instance.
