hello cristina how are you my name is alexis, i live in bogota colombia, the truth is i don't speak english fluently, i distinguish some verbs and phrases in english, i've been watching your channel about the i.p.a it's interesting to know the sounds of the vowels in english now I understand why many Spanish-speaking people find pronunciation difficult, I want to send you a warm greeting from Bogota, Colombia...thanks

[@AnoNymous-dh2sv]

This is legitimately the absolutely hardest distinction I have ever found, for non-native english speakers with a native language that doesn't pay too much attention to vowel distinctions. I knew English gives too much detail on vowels; but this is extreme; btw: other languages don't necessarily make you "shy": it's just that they might not give that much weight to vowels.

[@mrkirios]

Any language should strive for effective and concise communication, and these sounds right here are not contributing towards that idea. These are what I call “word collisions”: Two or more different words with completely different meaning being very close in sound, colliding very easily in pronunciation. This is a serious design flaw and absolute bu||sh1t, and one point (along many more) in favor of why English shouldn’t be the modern lingua franca.

[@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq]

When she mentioned "muscle memory" I immediately subscribed to her channel because nowhere else I have heard it applied to English sounds. Before, only my classical piano teacher had explained this matter to me concerning the fingering at the keyboard.

[@brainbreaker1128]

Actually it would be great if you do a serie about the vowel IPA sounds.

[@renatosds5887]

I am impressed with the clarity of your explanation. I loved your way of teaching.

[@luciorezendebr]

Ahora estoy tan confuso con todas esas expliacaciones, muy poco claras

[@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq]

I am really impressed, too. Good teachers like her use imagination to teach better.

[@violet-bd4vi]

You're amazing! I do know how to pronounce words but you are the first one to teach the difference perfectly!

[@TaiLe-dr5ve]

You are one of the best English teacher in the world.

[@Milev123]

Soy nueva en tu canal y la verdad te quiero agradecer mucho por hacer un video tan completo con una sola vocal .thank u so much teacher👌

[@caremell]

Hola ! could you recommend equivalent channel like, sounds american channel for spanish ?

[@claudialeiva3791]

I love this video. She makes it so easy to remember the difference between [æ] vs [ɑ]. The [æ] sound (like the 'a' in Spanish). The [ɑ] sound (like we were yawning (round lips)) (We should be able to stick our index finger in between your teeth as she said). Great! Thanks a lot.

[@DuyenTran-og7jo]

I have just found out this video by accident and it's really helpful. I love the way you teach and explain the sounds. Thank you very much. Subscribe to your channel with no hesitation!

[@shyguy9102]

Very important lesson for us hispanics, you guys have so many vowels, in spanish we just have a, e, i, o, u Thank you Ma'am for clearing my doubt.

[@sebastianguerra6358]

I really want to speak this language fluently but goddammit Britain, did you seriously need so many vowels?

[@daisandi2247]

You are the best teacher

[@jalalzbirat2027]

Thanks a lot. What stressed syllables?

[@pablomoreno1185]

Me cago en la lecheeeeeeeeeeeeee, incleible, maravilloso. Eres la primera persona que lo explica bien, la única que no solo explica cual es el sonido si no que también como reproducirlo. Es imprescindible conocer como colocar los labios, la apertura de la boca y las tensiones para poder reproducirlo con exactitud. Una clase perfecta.

[@VentariusCricq]

Es decir una "a" en posición de la "e".

[@evgeni-nabokov]

1:05 Start.

[@tenryuu]

Thanks for the great video Kristina! A problem I have is discerning the difference between ɔ and ɑ. Looking on the chart one is rounded and a little less open while the other is unrounded and more open. Do you have any examples to give to tell those two apart?

[@yassinbuodlal6374]

I have clicked this video because of her eyes

[@Bu1at]

The best explanation that I ever seen on youtube. Thank you a lot!

[@victoriousseraphim5142]

Thank you so much Kristina, thanks for the time you take to record these kind of videos. This video really helped me to be more aware of how to pronounce these words more English American-like. Well It would be great if you could teach on how to pronounce the 'th' sound in all its possible places in a word and in a sentence. (Any mistake I made writing please correct me)

[@laracroftvideos]

The [æ] vowel actually varies quite a bit in the U.S. and the way Kristina says it might actually be perceived as "ah" by someone from Chicago, for example. Teaching American pronunciation is tricky because there's not just one American accent and there's quite a bit of variation in terms of vowel sounds.

[@JonatanFTChannel]

I don't think people from Chicago pronounce the ash sound like her.

[@laracroftvideos]

@@JonatanFTChannel Exactly, that was my point. The way K. says it sounds like California accent, it's way too open. The standard ash sound doesn't sound like that

[@naturewithsiddiqui]

Kristina you are doing very well.

[@lildakmusic2029]

You're awesome!! Thank you so much. Now I have to figure out how to make the /ʌ/ sound. Cap, cop, cup. So challenging

[@elizabethhodges3573]

Please I need help with the (upside down V) vs (upside down reversed e) sounds.

[@jacksonamaral329]

good. training my listening here with you from brazil.

[@saeedahmed9436]

Great ! I need a vedio on `t´ sound it seems trickier for me when native speakers utter it at diiferent positions , it is quite hard to me to grap at .....

[@BrennTimoteoRomeroMoreno]

Wait... æ is not a diphtonɡ.

[@rofsjan]

Thank you, Kristina. Very helpful

[@eoghan.5003]

Viewers should be warned that while the information in this video applies to General American English, it does not apply to the various accents of British English. For example, in my Scottish accent, "modern" and "father" have different vowels (/ɔ/ and /a/, respectively), with "father" having the same as "cat". In Standard Southern British English, all three have different vowels. (Which I think are /ɔ/, /ɑ/, /æ/. I might have got the exact qualities wrong because it's not my accent, but all three are different.)

[@АлександрВеклич-ц1к]

Hey! This is a great video! However, I am still struggling with with this sound "æ". I can't understand how one sound is pronounced differently in the words "last" and "cat" for example or "Panda" Thanks, Alex

[@Venuslau08]

Same question

[@YhonB13]

Bro, i'm not an expert, but i've learned tath one-syllable words have a vowel in the middle, the vowel usually has a short sound. Examples: cat, dog, man, hat, mom, dad, got. If the letter after the vowel is f, l, or s, this letter is often doubled. Examples: last, staff, ball, pass. Sometimes consonants change the sound of vowels. I hope it helps you

[@84Franch]

I googled many video about that, and I think this is one of the best explanations

[@leengteacher1]

I've been an English teacher for very long, but this video was extremely helpful. Thanks!

[@m11arifhossain58]

Most important job Thanks you so much My dear❤❤

[@kwesi5057]

This was very helpful… you a good teacher as well

[@britishenglishcompany6279]

Hi, good videos. I'd like to know how to pronounce "fan-bank-ran" because I heard the /æ/ sound a little different when it is followed by n, m or ng. Can you explain in more detail please?. Thanks alot.

[@ocristianoalmeida]

It'll help you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5qaXnd6drxgpc0

[@m.tayyab6952]

Wait, I'm confused, the second vowel that you're explaining, I don't see that in my dictionaries' and their pronunciations. The word 'modern has the following pronunciation: UK /ˈmɒd.^ən/ US /ˈmɑː.d^ɚn/ Now, either you're talking about 'ɒ' or 'ɑː' but NOT 'ɑ'. Could you clarify this for me?

[@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq]

There is no absolute uniformity in the IPA system, there is always a tentative element in how to match pronunciation with the symbols.

[@dianaprieto3967]

Wow🎉❤, can you make videos about the others vowels and consonants? Thanks in advance.

[@markviana4960]

I was struggled to pronounce the [æ] sound. Thank you so much!

[@EnglishwithKristina]

Mark Viana You’re welcome, Mark!

[@gloriaflores1538]

I have a question, is it possible to pronounce some words with ash and /a/? I'm confused because when looking at the dictionary, it has the IPA translation with ash an the USA respelling using the short a /a/.

[@walterwhite5578]

What exercises do you do to flat the tongue and to keep it from moving from the back of the mouth to it resting on the bottom teeth?

[@cicik57]

what is the difference between cop and the cup then? cop is somehow between "a" and "o" ( sounds)?

[@mrkirios]

The difference is so minuscule and ridiculous that it would be reasonable to discard this nonsense and infer the correct word through context. After all, if you yell "Someone call the cops!" chances are they won't end up calling Starbucks.

[@carlosm.labanca2285]

Great vid, Kristina! It's really helpful & educational. Thumbs up, and thanks for sharing. Our problem is that the AA-like sounds are THREE: cop - cap - cup / lock - lack - luck. Any hints? TIA.

[@milagrosluna9949]

You are an adorable teacher

[@slbef]

Is there different between /Ɑː/ and /Ɑ/ ?

[@throwaway-ds6yg]

Hi! Can you explain how to switch from pronouncing "r" with a retroflex tongue to a bunched tongue posture. I'm native to the Northeastern U.S. where I've read that retroflex "r" is part of the accent. Thanks!

[@luciorezendebr]

Nicely done madam! Keep up the good work!

[@majonadal7692]

It was an awsome lesson!

[@leecoppack5182]

I struggle with the IPA use of one letter to represent the sound of another. For example, why i: for long E? Why aI for long I? Why not: I for long I and i: for what IPA uses I for.

[@2chill2]

I've been learning. English and IPA for years, and KZbin only shows me this high quality video today. They need to improve their algorithm. But needless to say, I subscribers to this channel at once.
