Thanks Rachel! As a Spanish native speaker, I find this kind of hard given that there are only five vowels in our alphabet.

[@angiesworld8038]

I'm a native English speaker. It's easy, just keep practicing you'll get it. English is very easy.

[@TranquilMarmot]

I'm a native American English speaker and my partner always makes fun of me for pronouncing these wrong! This helped a lot. To anyone out there just learning English, know that even us native speakers have issues with it 😅

[@vvkim8112]

Thank you so much. I'm still far from mastering these two confusing sounds but I feel much more confident about my pronunciation after watching this video. Especially, the part comparing the different lips movement of two sounds helped me a lot. Thank you!

You're welcome!

[@dudumachado7780]

Hello rachel, could you make a video about the lenght of vowels and pointing out the differences between Ferry and Fairy, very and vary and other pairs of words like that where the vowel is the same but the lenght varies?

[@edwudaedwardsaulnier6880]

The dark 'L' is an interesting sound to explain to my Korean students. Korean, like French, doesn't have the dark 'L'. The 'l' in Korean (as well as French) has the tongue tip touching the roof of the mouth in a more flat position. I have noticed many Englisih speakers speaking French but using a dark 'L' and that is a give away that they are not native French speakers.

Hello Rachel ,I'm so happy to discover your channel, I'm a woman from Algerian, I'm an Arabic native speaker and here in our schools we learn French first than we learn English but as you know the Arabic language has the letters that doesn't exist in other languages so I really don't find it difficult to speak as a native speaker I just need practicing. my question here is : can you make a video for us showing the most common words that contain silent letters : like muscles >> the L is silent and so on ... . thank you so much Rachel and Salam from me :) .

[@pualamnusantara7903]

Hi,Rachel. Can you make a video about "This" vs "These"? Thank you.

[@demeko96]

Hi ! I know you're asking Rachel but just in case she doesn't see your comment... In "this", the "i" is the same "i" that you have in "to sit", "to fit", "hit", or "english". it's a mid-centralized close front (and unrrounded) vowel, noted [ɪ] in the IPA. I don't know if that helps, but try to listen (you got the sound again in "listen") to the pronunciation of such words on linguee.com for example. As regards "these", the vowel is way longer than "this" and more closed too. You have to strech your lips so you can get a real "i" like in the end of "totallY", or "belIEve", or "defEAt". I don't know if that's really clear, I tried my best x)

[@shepherd2022]

Hello Rachel, very useful video. But I have a simple question as other students: is there a difference between the pronunciations of "pole" and "pull" (or "bowl" vs "bull")? Thank you so much!

[@rachelsenglish]

Hello, yes there is a difference. "Pole" and "bowl" use the OH diphthong, and "pull" and "bull" use the UH as in push vowel. More on the OH diphthong here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZrZaIh4j7Vsb68si=Vvps7ElsFfod6MJ0

[@gelynarguilles9216]

Hi rachel..could you please explain the difference between " complain vs complaint " please..thank you rachel..

[@rachelsenglish]

Hello! Sure! 'Complain' is a verb, and "complaint" is a noun. As for how they sound, if you are using a Stop T at the end of "complaint", they will sound very similar. But you should still be able to tell the difference because "complaint" will end with an abrupt stop of air flow after the N sound, while "complain" will not have that abrupt stop. Because of this, the second syllable of "complain" will sound a little longer than in "complaint".

[@scarlettliu7381]

Very helpful! Thank you!!!

It's really amusingly POOL sounds | PUL | and Pull like | POL |

Hello Rachel, thank you for your approach and next video. You're an amazing teacher. If you want you can create a video for a phrase "what are you doing" it is a pretty common phrase and I still have a problem with it (my friends too). When I speak quickly I just say "water" in the beginning or is that correct? Thank you for your time.

[@SDOne-or6vm]

you can find the same difference between luke and look or between fool and full ;)

[@kathygilles8673]

Hi Rachael! I want to know if pull is pronounce as puh-uhl. The word ending L is dark L. Also the word completely. Is the first L is it the light L and the second L as dark L?

[@rachelsenglish]

Hi! Yes, the final L in 'pull' is a dark L, and you may hear a slight schwa sound as you move from the UH as in PUSH vowel into the Dark L. As for 'completely', the first L is definitely a Light L, and the second L would actually be considered a Light L, as well (though because it is in an unstressed position you may a bit more of the dark quality with that L).

[@kathygilles8673]

I think maybe I understand you. Is it pull pronounce as pul- uhl not puh-uhl. The word completely pronounce maybe Kum-pulleet-lee.

[@LeilaniGarcia1]

[@mm553210]

Whenever pronounce dark L is really complicated for me. And U vowel before dark L as "Towel" is also difficult to it. Hopefully it will be clear and make sense.

[@Apero1Spritz]

Rachel, can you compare 'pull' and 'Paul'?

[@demeko96]

From what I know, it seems that in "Paul" the vowel is more opened than in "pull". it's like the "o" in "a doll". I'm not sure but that's how I'd explain it.

[@Apero1Spritz]

+demeko96 thanks! What about 'doll' and 'dull'? Are they the same? I think they are but would like confirmation.

[@demeko96]

Joe W You're welcome ! Actually they're not equal. But the difference is so tiny and I'm not sure I can explain it to you very clearly. for "doll" you have to open up your mouth really big. don't hesitate to exaggerate the opening to get it. whereas for "dull", it's an opened vowel too but a little less than "doll". I would say that in "dull", the vowel is closer to the "schwa" vowel if you're familiar with the IPA. it's kind of the same sound you hear at the end of "daughter" in British english. I'd say that the vowel in "dull" is right between the one in "doll" and that schwa...

[@madridista1902]

Paul: ɔ, Pull: ʊ. Simple as that.

[@shelleyeck4982]

This is good information, but as a native English speaker, I just wanted to offer some encouragement to anyone learning English. I am from the Southern United States and when I say "pool" and "pull" it sounds exactly the same. By all means, if you are interested in learning to say things perfectly, please do so. But, if you are new to learning English, please don't feel like you have to get this perfect for an English speaker to understand you. If your "pull" and "pool" sound the same, 99%+ of English speakers are not even going to notice.

[@NguyenNguyen-pi9xk]
