Hello teacher, i actually have a question for you. I have been working on my accent for 2 years and I learned everything 1-the intonation 2-the vowels 3-the pronunciation and the most important thing, (the connection of the words) But should i change my voice as well ?? Well i know that i have to speak with a deep voice form my throat but do all Americans speak form there ? Have u ever seen foreign ppl who changed their accent completely and sounded American ?? I mean like the teacher that you hosted in your video “Ibrahim adel” does he have an accent ??

[@mmemonarch]

As a native English speaker, i love watching these videos just to see what all goes into speaking. When you slow things down, it's like a different form of singing

[@Madad-yg1td]

Hi sweaty can you gave me your number on whatsapp because I so love english and I need to be like a native speaker 🥹💛

[@HANSMKAMP]

Someone tried to write down speech in musical notes. You would get funny results! Thinking of it... a computer is better at singing than speaking.

[@Madad-yg1td]

@HANSMKAMP but. the practice of English or any language other is the best way to learning

[@HANSMKAMP]

@@Madad-yg1td It definitely is. I often use English and Esperanto on the internet. I am fluent at those languages and by using them, my fluency will never decrease. With my Russian girlfriend I sometimes speak Russian.

[@zb5006]

Thanks for the tips! I wish my spoken English could sound like a native speaker. I’m a Japanese woman living in Japan. My first language is Japanese and English is a foreign language rather than a second language for me. It’s a bit too difficult for me to pronounce English in conversations like actors and actresses in American TV shows at their natural pace by imitating the sound-linking/reducing/dropping, intonations and stress/no stress that they usually use in such a rhythmical way. That is because the Japanese language has one vowel and/or one vowel followed by one consonant and we tend to speak it very monotonously. Speaking of American TV shows, I am a big fan of “Beverly Hills 90210”. I really hope that you will adapt this show to your English teaching videos sometime!

[@rachelsenglish]

Thanks for sharing @zb5006!

Hi pretty girl, I am interested in your experience. As is well known, in gender relationships, Chinese men are best men, and Japanese women are best women. would you mind follow each other in social APP? we can talk to economy, history, social phenomenon and so on. we can promote spoken English skills level to get progress. I hope you can take notice of this message. I will be attention to see YTB comments every day.

When linking the "t" to other words like (what + will), (it + goes), (about + you), (about + me). Do I have to raise the tip of my tongue and touch the roof of my mouth or can I just make a glottal stop and remain the tip of my tongue down not touching the roof of my mouth?

[@rachelsenglish]

You can just make a small glottal stop if you're using a Stop T (if the following word begins with a consonant). If you are linking to "you", you can either use the same Stop T (glottal stop) or the T can change to a CH/TCH sound, in which case you'll need to lift the tongue.

[@aghil_shoja]

hello Mrs. Rachel, One of my friends insists that it is not very important if we do not follow the pronunciation accurately? Is it important?

[@rachelsenglish]

A lot of people study pronunciation with the goal of being better understood when they're communicating. However, how close to an American accent sound a person wants to develop beyond that is a personal choice. Some people choose to work on pronunciation for professional reasons, family reasons, or just to build confidence in their self-expression.

[@arwaalsafty9157]

Hello Rachel ! I hope you're doing great! I have a question,please. I wonder if you can tell me how I can help my kids differentiate between these two words "cap" and "cab" when hearing them. I mean since the /p/ sound is usually stopped at the end and it's pronounced without that puff of air, and also the voiced /b/ sound is usually not fully released when it's at the end of the word. I know about the vibration in the vocal cords, but I want an easy way to help my kids pronounce and listen to know which word they hear "cap" or "cap", can you help me! Thank you so much in a advance!

[@rachelsenglish]

Good question! You are correct that the difference is the vibration. Try having the kids speak "cab" slow motion, with their hands on their lips to feel for vibrations. Because the B is voiced, the vibration can also be felt a bit in the lips. Alternatively, "cap" should have no vibration and will end quickly in the stopped form, even if the word is in slow motion. Hope this helps!

[@arwaalsafty9157]

Thank you for your reply Rachel! But please could you answer this question: Does the closure of the lips for the /p/ in "cap" is longer and more tense than for the /b/ in "cab" ??
