AVOID MISTAKES MADE BY MARINA MOGILKO / IT'S RAINING CATS AND DOGS / AVOID PRONUNCIATION MISTAKES

[@Mia-cc9bm]

I'm shocked at how Marina confidently tells the wrong pronunciation for simple words... It feels like she can't be bothered to look them up in the dictionary🙁

[@mamish_english]

you see - she is confident in any bullsht she says and she earns big bucks me double checking every single phrase - getting average salary

[@olhashehda5150]

Because she is Russian 😂

[@Voicerichefy]

She doesn’t earn big bucks. She tries to make it look like she’s rich, but in Russia it’s known that she is a grifter and tries to make money selling courses. After American’s bloggers and teachers Exposures she failed in selling English courses. That’s why now she tries to sell courses about how to become rich. Some Russian bloggers made investigations about her new courses and it looks like in USA there is no any success therefore she tries to warmup her audience in Russia, because only they watch her.

[@mamish_english]

I know it, I am Russian myself and a certified ESL teacher and I've never trusted or relied on her teaching skills still in comparison with Russian average people income - she earns real big bucks! @@Voicerichefy

[@JohnCavendish-ql4jc]

Oddly enough Marina's way is the path to fluency. At one point just speak and forget about grammar, precise vocabulary and pronunciation. It's called ingraining an English department in your brain. Postponing the Speaking part until you reach perfection is the most common obstacle to fast fluency. It doesn't matter if you sound liké Schwarzenegger or Jackie Chan. Just speak. You'll get laughed at, at first, but at least it won't take you a lifetime to reach fluency.

[@Aphegone]

You saved me from buying one of the courses from Marina. I can’t thank you enough guys ❤️

[@nikolayfedotov438]

My wife actually has bought one of them but after I show her this channel she cancel the course and returned money back.

[@bubblesort8760]

You don't have to buy any damn course. You people just want to spend your money. I wish you don't have much money to afford a course, then you would consider searching for some free resources.

[@Aphegone]

@sort8760 I consume a wide range of resources, both paid and free. Not sure why having money seems to bother you, sorry you can't afford to do that.

No one can teach pronunciation like you Kevin. Thanks very much

How does he teach you pronunciation, I wonder? 🤷‍♀️ He explains nothing. Sure, he pronounces sounds in a right way but it doesn't mean you do the same way.

[@frankgradus9474]

Thanks awfully. That's a huge help. I shall use "it's raining cats and dogs" even more now. By the by, it was pouring down with rain at three o'clock in these parts. 'cause it never rains but it pours here ...

[@catboy721]

Yes, don’t think we need the language police - if it falls out of favor you’ll hear it less frequently over time. I use expressions from my parents and grandparents all the time and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. I might refrain from language like this in a job interview, but perhaps not. As with any idiom, you just have to read the room.

[@KimaGus-f5x]

You are great ❤️❤️❤️

[@eat_pray_love.]

It’s old-fashioned but SOME people do still use it. I heard this idiom many times in interviews or tv shows, maybe it was said in a humorous way. Still it’s good to know what it means. Thank you for the video.

[@igormm5202]

I disagree with the idea not to use the idiom 'raining cats and dogs'. It brightens up the speech and makes you sound interesting. This trend 'don't say...' , 'we never use...' is at least strange because the language is not limited with SOME people and the way THEY use the language. It is always up to you to use this or that idiom/expression or not. Don't listen to other people.

[@starshine3933]

There’s two things: first it’s so interesting to watch this video as I have learned a lot from her mistakes more than intentionally go and watch grammar lessons. However, bad thing is she has 8+ million followers and teaches almost everything wrong 😢

First, ''it's raining cats and dogs'' is natural or unnatural, old or new or idk smth else the most important thing is to me she is not incorrect 'cuz the expression is correct, it does exist and that is an older or a new expression that's the other face of the problem. THank ya guys

[@vladimirbaloyan440]

@@sadhnasharma9214 What about the mistakes made by Americans?? if Americans being native speakers have made mistakes and keep making 'em then why Marina may not make 'em,, Not critisizing anybody, just want everybody to know nobody's perfect.. There're many phrases, words etc used by Americans but are not even in vocab. every thing has 2 faces, so don't forget to take a closer look at the other one. She makes mistakes but at the same time speaks very well , even teachers or lecturers at Uni don't/ can't speak it very well.

It's not funny. She got attention because she made significant progress on her own. This is difficult for the average person. This channel, on the other hand has native speakers(They didn't pay a dime or make any sacrifice to get the accent they speak with). Marina deserves the attention she has.

[@AsepHaryonoINDONESIA]

I was impressed by the title of the mistaken "Its raining cats and dogs". I have been learning English more than 12 years, my mother tongue is not English, I sometimes get a little bit confusing which one I use the accent of English of British or American English. For simplicity, I prefer American English to British English. Thank you Kevin and Lisa. Allow me to subscribe to your channel. Greetings from Indonesia

When I randomly bumped into Marina's video for the first time I did not pay attention to who was the author, but my ears were cut with a knife by my native Russian (despite I'm a Ukrainian) accent. I said she was definitely a Russian girl. My bad, Marina, your English is perfect but you deserved to go ahead in learning native phonetics before teaching the people like many other non-native teachers. Break a leg, do not stop!

[@liah4113]

I've already heard in a movie "it's pouring rain". I wonder if it's also a common way to convey the idea of it's raining very hard. 🤔

[@yogibear5321]

Good lessons...Looks like Kevin is a robot...very competent one though.

[@safinehakamaki3537]

I do appreciate your content, but I think qualifying some of your statements might be beneficial in order to avoid overgeneralizations. After all, how common an expression is is relative and dependent on the region, so what sounds natural to me might not sound natural to you. For example, I've heard "it's raining cats and dogs" used in Michigan by both young and older people.

[@mariashevyrova3730]

Lol okay, I will follow your advice and start learning Michigan English ahah. Bot of Marina, if you have ever been in America you would never have said something like that!

[@safinehakamaki3537]

@@mariashevyrova3730 I never really attacked you, did I? So... I'm not sure why you're attacking me personally. My comment didn't say anything about Marina, so how come you think I'm a fan of hers?

Even though Marina lives in the USA seems like she doesn't communicate with locals too much. I hear the right pronunciations every day, so it's obvious to me. No one says "Por-shey". Any language should be taught by its native speakers, period.

Kevin, may I ask you a question? Do you have the idea to write the learn book "Avoid mistakes made by Marina Mogilko"?

[@ticholopeluche]

So i, ee and ea in Pizza Green Beans Are pronunced the same, 3 different letters combinations for the same sound. And also some of those letters combinations represent a different sound in other words like i in milk and ea in learn. Another example oo in blood, good and door, and there are almost not many rules to learn when you use each sound. As a native Spanish speaker ponunciation is the most difficult part of learning English.

[@ЕвгенийДолинский-ц4ы]

20 years ago I read an old learn book. They used there : " It's raining like cats and dogs".

Thanks Sir. I am Gamini from Sri Lanka and learn a lot from your channel. I'm a person who has done Linguistics at the University. Yes, here the sentence 'It's raining cats and dogs' is old-fashioned and not commonly used in the US or any other country. But this lady called Marina Mogilko says that it's common. Even an English friend of mine from London told me that UK people never say so and say 'It's raining hard' or 'It's bucketing down'.. Really, I'm angry with this lady who is not a qualified teacher. The other lady is Ariannita. Both of them are same. Though both are speaking just like native speakers what they say is not accurate. Their English is wrong. It seems that they have not studied Linguistics at a university.
