Sorry for the typo guys! I think we all know it's supposed to be BELIEVE. :)

[@geeayejoe2411]

Rachel's English I’m about to comment on that. No worries.

[@SungLingsTV]

There's four words or there are 4 words?

[@SuperNelsinho81]

@@SungLingsTV it there is Three

[@rachelsenglish]

THERE ARE is grammatically correct but 'there's four' and that kind of thing has become extremely common in spoken English -- So much so that I have noticed even myself doing it! I actually talk about that in a video coming out this summer.

[@mohammedmontaser7129]

Thanks Rachel and Tom but plz suggest me a platform which I can keep in touch with native speaker for free

[@jonilsoncoelho8930]

I'm a brazilian and this channel is so good for who is learning to pronounce english's words on their own. I like it!

[@JózsefMAbdessamad]

ICH DANKE IHNEN, YOU'RE THE BEST ENGLISH TEACHER ON KZbin. ALSO I LOVE YOUR VOICE, RACHEL.

[@rachelsenglish]

Wow, thank you!

[@yoasshole1]

I've been using your channel since I started learning English, and it's helped me out more than you think. I'm very grateful for that, and I hope you guys keep teaching us the way you do because it really motivates us to keep going! Thank you and have a great week!

[@stevesmith8616]

thank you so much for your support....me and many people really appreciate it. God bless you Rachel and your team.

[@video6702]

I just loved him.......He is very good .. showing us english's rhythm and melody.........english is like go up and down......many languages melody is just straight forward ....like spanish.....but swedish have same melody like english....up and down.....by the way I've already learned two other languages and right now i'm learning english at home by myself .....and my teacher's name is youtube

[@KingMV88]

Rachel you're the greatest teacher thanks to your videos and all the tools you gave me (The Phonetic Chart, Your Ben Franklin Exercises, your tips on watching movies with caps on etc, thanks to all of that I'm able to speak this way, I'll be coming back to your videos now since I've been losing some fluency and my pronunciation is getting worse because of lack of practice! But again thank you so much for helping me. And please keep teaching others! I'm the living proof that with hard work and with a great English teacher like you. Anyone can get fluent and get rid of their accent and be able to speak English The American Way 👌

[@Joe-ip2ky]

One of the best tip I’ve heard so far, thanks Rachel and Tom. I’ll be working on it for sure.

[@mukealeeja.4429]

[@itamar7548]

Amazing video. We missed Tom. He's a great teacher too. Thank you for another one-of-a-kind video Rachel!

[@canaltreslicoes]

I'm Brazilian, your videos really help me to learn more. Thanks for the great job! Thank you Very much Rachel!

[@eric18993]

I'm brazilian too. I want to thank Rachel for teaching me connected speech. Because of that, I improve my listening and speaking.

[@raimundosepulvedav.8572]

Hello Rachel, hello Tom... This was a very useful video and so practical. Accent, rythm or stress on syllabes (or music according you) are forgotten for no native speakers when we try to talk. Knowing and learning the general structure of English, accent is the next step... Thanks a lot. I think that understood...

[@alexsopko701]

Hi, Rachel it's a pleasure to watch your videos they're very helpful. I learn a lot from them. Thanks a lot my dear teacher and have a lovely day.

[@viianapoa7448]

Thank you so much My love and Tom! Wish you all good things. LOVE YOU ❤️🙏.

[@animamagna3077]

As a musician I always believed that speaking English is about imitating the native speakers tones. It matters more than your vocabulary and grammar. There're many dialects people speak around the world and you can pass as a native speaker if you have a right tone and pitch and intonation and whatever comes with it.

[@furiouscartman5338]

That's an amazing lesson! That concept makes huge progress in imitating native speakers. That's really HELPFUL! Thank you so much Rachel, thank you so much Tom! I really hope it's not the last video about the music of language of English

[@rachelsenglish]

You're very much welcome!

[@sergeipetrov5572]

Hello! Huge thanks to Rachel and Tom for the video! I liked it! To understand speech owing to music, this has impressed me a lot.

Thanks!

[@ibarakidoji]

Bring more vids with Tom please!

[@JulioPalma]

Thank you so much for this video. It was very helpful. It opens new ideas and questions about the English sound pattern. This video demonstrates that there is an upper level of "superwords" or as you said "thought groups" that is just as important to learn as individual words. I wonder if these melodies or the sound they produce, like Tom did with the clips, have been already classified elsewhere. This video also made me reflect on my own strategies to teach my native language, Spanish. Gracias!

[@rachelsenglish]

Thanks for sharing Julio! Greatly appreciated!

Many many likes to this video. Finally found the secret of sentences pronunciation mystery. I was searching for it, and actually somehow i came to similar but couldn't understand the exact rules.
