I don't understand the people who dislike Rachel's videos! Undoubtedly she always tries her best to share with us new content that we cannot find elsewhere! We should be thankful to her. She's one of the best!! ❤🌸❤

[@rachelsenglish]

Thanks for your support Zzt!

[@foma851]

I started watching your videos about 5 to 6 years ago. The first word, I learned from your videos was how to pronounce water like native speaker. Now I can proudly say that about 80%, I sound like native speaker. It’s because of you most of pronunciation improved. Thank you so much.

[@rachelsenglish]

Great! Thanks for watching!

[@aparecidoferreiravais321]

Hi Rachel Hi Tom your videos are very helpful to me I improve my English watching your videos Thanks Rachel you're awesome I hope you have a great Wednesday my dear teacher 😉🇧🇷 Stay home and take care

[@rachelsenglish]

Thanks again Aparecido! Stay safe!

[@crazydiamond1273]

Thank God you guys exist. I'm Slavic and my accent isn't that strong comparing to other Slavic English-speaking persons I know, but I'm still not so confident about my pronunciation and gosh I'm SO glad I found you a several years ago. Lots of love to you ♥️

[@Dadokuerten]

For those that gave a thumbs down, please leave a comment in this section in order to Rachel can see and figure the reason out. In this case I'm quite sure she's going to give even more her best. Thank you for your videos. They're excellents. Regards from Brazil.

[@rachelsenglish]

Aww..Thanks a lot Eduardo!

[@johnhalat]

What a great job! One of the best pronounciation channels out there.

[@marcocisneros8755]

Oh man this cleared up my mind a lot, Glad there's people that teaches this cause man it can be a bit confusing at least for me, I mean I have an intuitive understanding of how to pronounce words in American English, But this was really handy thanks, teacher Rachel

[@rachelsenglish]

You're very welcome Marco!

[@user-hk5gx4si2w]

Hi there, I'm An Jun Gyu, a high school 2nd grade student, and I've been living in Busan, Korea for about 20 years. So, where're you quarantined & how've you been? Wow, "D" consonant has many sounds! Are you hard these days since you've been self-quarantining & practicing social distancing for about 2 months? Same. Mood. Heard US was in lockdown because of the infected cases & death tolls? No need to worry about it since that's just a phase. So I hope you stay healthy & thx for uploading these videos! I love you so much, Rachel & Tom!

[@regulomendozamartinez799]

Excellent class are the best teacher. Thank you very much for the class

[@brazenglish]

Wow! What an incredible video! It reminds me of my classes when I was in college. At that time, I struggled to learn phonetics, so I used to hate it! However, times have changed, and as a teacher and with more maturity, I can watch videos like yours to keep me studying in an easier and enjoyable way. 💜 Thank you, Rachel! 😊

[@rachelsenglish]

You're welcome and thanks for sharing Elizabeth!

[@kennychan6006]

Thank you Rachel for a very nicely done video. And thank you Tom. The consonant D is one of the most difficult consonants in the English alphabets. I always confuse it with the letter T. This lesson really helps, again thank you.

Ohh God! I feel bad that I'm getting all these incredible lessons for free! They're so helpful and there's definitely a lot of work behind it. Thank you so much Rachel and Tom! You are amazing people! People always complement me on my pronunciation. They think I've spent a lot of time in the US when, in truth, I've never been to an English speaking country. I feel so happy When I start working, I'll support you guys on patreon as much as I possibly can. God bless you 🙏

[@rachelsenglish]

That's awesome! Thanks a lot for your support Pablo!

[@araobrito4429]

Who were the stupid people who hit “ dislike” to the video. You have the right of not liking American pronunciation but it is paramount to have this kind of knowledge to better understand people. Congrats, Rachel! My English is becoming better and better due to your clear explanations.

[@FAUSTOANTONIOLEONARDOHENRIQUEZ]

This video about several sounds of the consonant D was great, I knew till today the classical way of sound of it.

[@rachelsenglish]

Thanks for watching Fausto!

[@englishforeverpedro]

Amazing, Tom. Really good D sounds. I have been using them, but I had never stopped to think about them. This is a great video on how to improve your pronunciation and listening, of course. I beleive that everything you do to improve your pronunciation, it also helps with your listening because you start listening to the new sounds when you're watching stuff. Really cool.

[@rachelsenglish]

Many thanks!

[@englishforeverpedro]

@@rachelsenglish You and your team deserve it. You guys have been doing a great jo since always. Have you noticed how many Americans have become English teachers. KZbin is full of them. Just because my Portuguese is fluent, that does not mean I can teach Portuguese pronunciation or Portuguese, for that matter. And I have a degree in Portuguese. But I wouldn't dare. Thank you for keeping your bars high and being surrounded by good professionals, like Tom. Keep it up.

Hi Rachel. Thanks so much for the video. I got a question. How to pronounce the d sound when it comes before a syllabic n sound? Examples: garden, wooden, hidden, food and (linked together)?

Hi! You'll use the unreleased D consonant here and move directly into the N consonant.
