As a life long midwestern senior citizen who has a law degree from an East Coast school, Georgetown and who has lived in various parts of the U.S. at previous time but mainly in Kansas City and now St. Louis, who has traveled to Europe many times, and who took community college classes in my 50's to learn a bit of Spanish and took French throughout both grade and high school, I have long thought English should be an almost impossible language to master if not a native speaker and yet so many people have mastered it enough to be considered well-spoken. However, I have noticed also than no non-native speaker I have ever heard, even if their spoken English is nearly perfect and virtually accent-free, they still make a mispronunciation here and there because so many English words are exceptions or follow really obscure "rules". Your videos are both entertaining and educational and make me realize English might be harder than I even thought because you highlight even "exceptions" illustrating how vowels or combinations of letters change their sound more times than I ever realized before. What I love about Spanish is that as far as I know, the same letters are pronounced the same way in almost every case and even more importantly, the rules for which syllable should be stressed are remarkably simple and consist of only three: 1) words ending in n or s are stressed on the next to last syllable, 2) all words not ending in n or s are stressed on the last syllable, 3) the only time the previous 2 rules are not followed is when a vowel has an accent mark in which case the syllable containing the accented vowel receives the stress. This particular video makes me realize why some non-native speakers mispronounce some English words because either they don't get the stress correct or don't make the change you describe when the stress is on a syllable not containing a vowel which "normally" sounds different. Really love your videos.
