The pronunciation of /e/ as in dress and /ʌ / as in sun and son❤❤❤❤❤Hope you can do one episode about them 😊😊

[@YasminMartinez-cc8vg]

Hi Elliot! What might be the difference between using this /o/ sound and using the schwa sound? For example, in prepositions like of. Thanks in advance!

[@rotii4897]

you the only one that i can understand cuz you have the most comfy face i’ve ever seen

[@c.e.1039]

We also have this sound in German and French, but it's transcribed /ɔ/. Could you please explain why is it transcribed /ɒ/ in English? Thanks 🙏🏻

[@desideriaolivan]

That's a different sound. It's an "o" but the shape of the mouth and the position of the tongue are different.

[@c.e.1039]

@@desideriaolivan it's the same phoneme but the transcription differs between French (German) and English. I'd just love to know why.

[@desideriaolivan]

@@c.e.1039 I don't know then. As far as I know /ɔ/ and /ɒ/ are different phonemes and the sound of both of them is not the same

[@hatimibenjellal9311]

thank you for this video

[@ZulkifliJamil4033-x6s]

/nɒt/,thanks ETJ English.

[@TioDeive]

Dear Elliot thank you for the wonderful video. I noticed you used "opening/closing loads", instead of "a lot" or similar. Is it common in British English? Are there other similar expressions? Cheers from Brazil.

[@SulaimanAbdullahi-h8s]

Sir, please teach us about the topic "DEVOICING".

[@Momo5656-q3o]

Thanks a lot for this Elliot! are there any British words that use the long vowel?

[@jesusdiaz4089]

Thanks a million. ❤ This sound is a little bit confusing to me. 😢

[@Elizabethecho]

Elliot,I have a question,when you say the tongue is back in central vowels and back vowels,where the back is it?

[@Bareerah-w3r]

Thanks sir ❤

[@ETJEnglish]

You’re welcome!

It has been one of the hardest sound as simple as it sounds

[@LordMalemo]

Watching film from British, I come across men calling other men ladies. Particular in the movie REDIRECTED where one of the main character Vinnie Jones as Golden poll calls his gang ladies ." I think we are done here ladies " Would kindly elaborate at which context this is happening?

[@LukaszSzatkowski]

Top? Bottom? What? 😂

[@sabrinadavila5153]

"I don't want to stop eating chocolate. My doctor will follow up on the problem." Interesting

[@ETJEnglish]

Is it? 🤔 just some random example sentences 🤣

[@Michaël-r2h]

@ETJEnglish If sounded as though your doctor were going to follow up on the problem of continued chocolate consumption. Or maybe give you more chocolate, I'm not sure.

[@mohammadjavad9969]

Your videos are amazing, but actually, your course is costly

[@ETJEnglish]

Thanks very much, I’m glad you enjoy my lessons. Some people say that my course expensive and others say it’s cheap! It all depends on different countries and their currencies, unfortunately… it’s impossible to make it accessible to everyone in the world. Thanks for your understanding.

[@englishforeveryone8417]

Keep up the good work

[@doubleM-fq6is]

My big question that nobody answered: Wich one British people say: "have got" or "have"? "have you got..?" or "do you have..?"? Could you please answer this one Elliott🥲🙏🏻
