[@heroeus8173]

It's due to the fact that in school Notably in ancient british colonies We do learn british English However We only learn it on a writing form And the oral is normally okay Not authentic as most of our teachers never went to uk and most of our English-speaking movie we watch is American So at best it normally sounds like Australian English Or generic English In former british's colonies Now some countries might follow some different rules But in my country We do learn british english

[@miguel9070]

Hi Lucy! I remember that I started watching your videos since I was 17 years old and now I’m 19 (where did time go?? lol) and I also remember that before watching you and other youtubers I used to think that it was impossible to learn English by yourself and reach fluency, but I keept trying and doing the right thing and now I can have enjoyable conversations in English, read, write, watch movies n yt videos all in English (sometimes I need subs, not gon lie lol) I’m so happy! So my message here is to all of those who are trying and feeling like it’s impossible to get to a happy place in your English game, I wanna say to u that keep doing the right thing because the outcome will be so fulfilling and you’ll feel so proud of yourself! Thank u Lucy for doing an amazing job!!

what is the diffrence between fake and false?

[@marwamnrauf4559]

Exactly the same😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@r.fairlie7186]

Manuel Cruz - great question. Basically, fake means not real and false means not true. I recommend you to do an internet search of your question and you’ll find more details and examples. I used to work in document fraud and there’s a similar difference between “counterfeit” and “forged”. Counterfeit means a complete fake, e.g. money or an entire travel document. A forgery is when a photo is substituted, some words are altered, stamps are added or pages removed and the spine is sewn together again.

[@michalinaaz4414]

Dear Lucy, Thanks for the video, hope you're doing well. Just a short comment on what you call a "longer vowel sound", it's actually a diphthong (so one vowel sound that glides slightly to another) like in "mate", "slide" or "hope". English language has a lot of diphthongs causing difficulties to many foreign students. The proper longer vowel sound though, it's a vowel sound pronounced in a slightly longer way like in "mood", "keen" or "naan"; and then there's a simple short vowel sound like in "bet", "risk" or "cut". Have a lovely day! Mika

[@igorturchinyuk151]

Despite I learned English in school and university my level of speech and sound understanding was very poor, because the goal of Soviet education was - “to read and translate with vocabulary”! Any contacts with a foreign peoples was forbidden. As result- when I try to find a word in vocabularies I spelled all letters of this word. This terrible habit stay with me from 1960’s years. All our English teachers never visited English speaking countries, because USSR was close society like North Korea or Iran today. Your lecture very useful for getting speech experience. Thank you. With love and respect from Moscow!

[@sarahpanda3252]

My goodness, this is a video everyone keen on English should watch. It is absolutely brilliant! I don't think anyone made such one ever before. Even the small, tiny things and rules are so very important in English. I admire you and I'm thanking you for sharing this with us and creating such a beautiful and helpful video. I've been learning English since January last year, already back then, with your videos. I'm just so glad that your channel exists and that you exist, taking the time to help people like me. These are the small things no-one really notices!! Therefore it's even more relevant and super important to teach! And even people with a B or C Level, like me, didn't know or have heard of this before, at least not so intensively. That I am sure about. -Thank you! -

Thumb has a silent b. Chalk has a silent l. Smack has a silent c. Gone/Done has a silent e. Mnemonic has a silent m. Through has a silent gh.

"Abbatoir" is French, hence the silent "r".

[@ambrascanferla1452]

If you check the phonetic writing below the words you’ll see that there is no D marked; the silent D you “hear” is due to the position of your tongue when you pronounce that specific N. If you notice, your tongue leans on your palate, almost in the same place where it leans when you pronounce the letter D 🤗

English is a Crazy Language. Here, in India, we call it a Funny Language. Especially, with Silent letters. My simple question is that Why to put that Silent Letter in the Word when we shouldn't pronounce it.? Same word is pronounced differently if used in different Tense eg. The word *Read* Same word is pronounced differently if it is used as a different Part of Speech eg. The word *Export* , pronounced differently if used as a Noun and differently if used as a Verb. There are so many rules and many a times that rule is broken and called *Exception* I need to learn Pronunciation of each and every word separately. I will go nuts one day ;-) O God, Have Mercy on me.

[@bob_._.]

parveen khan Many English words come from other languages and may retain the original spelling but the pronunciation changes, so that can make some letters silent. Some silent letters are used to change the sound of other letters to make different words (mat - mate, now - know) or help discern different words that sound the same (know - no). Also, before two or three hundred years ago there was no proscribed spellings for English words and people often stuck in extra letters; when the first dictionaries were compiled some of those extra letters became part of the "official" English language. The whole world has contributed to it, but that makes English is a very difficult language. Even in English-speaking countries spelling and grammar are often taught throughout primary and secondary school - from age 5 or 6 until 16 or 18, and even so lots of people have problems with it.

Also sometimes I'm not sure if I misheard or not, people would pronouce 'why' like 'hoo-Y', perhaps it might sound a little cool?
