@@Abdullah_Qasim-z5y Sorry. I can't help. I don't know anyone with these skills.

Fantastic lesson teacher. Depending on the situation I can keep the courtesy all the times without lossing control.

Thanks for watching @mariaamaya2021!

[@HanyYounis-rb2xj]

You are the best english language teacher I've ever seen no exaggeration

[@rachelsenglish]

Glad to hear that @HanyYounis-rb2xj!

[@HANSMKAMP]

For me she is the best language teacher, regardless the language. There are teachers of other languages on KZbin, but they are not better than Rachel. The Russian language does have good teachers on KZbin, and I often follow them, because I learn Russian and maybe I will move to Russia on a day.

[@BettyGreen-p8i]

There are so many other American accent teachers in this world, but you are the best, your accent is the best! Thank you very much for your effort!

[@rachelsenglish]

Thank you so much for your kind words @BettyGreen-p8i!

[@BSFM-x6q]

Thank you so much for this helpful content! I love the way you explain concepts clearly and smoothly. Your videos are really helping me improve my English speaking skills and gain confidence when communicating with others. I look forward to seeing more practical tips like these!

[@rachelsenglish]

Happy to hear that @BSFM-x6q!

Rachel, helpful as always. Even to those of us mega extraverts who are scared simply by the virtue of mispronunciation or sounding off. People are so good at hearing the subtle differences and that makes it very embarrassing when someone stops you and asks you where you're from. I find that it helps a lot when you focus on the actual content of the conversation and the human besides you instead of focusing on language. Still, I'll take the risk of the off chance of sounding a little off because being able to communicate with everyone is a much bigger reward than not being able to talk at all :)

Hey, Rachel. Since you talked about yes-no question intonation, here is something that will blow your mind: Have you noticed the stressed-syllable shift when the last word of a yes-no question has more than one syllable? Let me show you. Computer. Telma has a computer. "PU" is the stressed syllable. Long sound in "pU". Computer? Do you have a computer? "TER" is the stressed syllable. Or longer if you will. Ta-da! Boy, am I good. BTW, this year is my 30th year as an English teacher. Isn't it cool?

[@rachelsenglish]

Congratulations on your long career! For "computer" in these examples, I'd make PU the stressed syllable in both. The difference would be in the second example, I'd lift the intonation for the final syllable.

[@Julio-rq8rc]

Always beautiful!!

[@rachelsenglish]

Thanks @Julio-rq8rc!

Situations facing conversations with a stranger: At a supermarket/grocery store - At the movies - At a bar - In a park - At a parking garage - At the subway - Let me know if I helped.

[@rachelsenglish]

Thanks for sharing!

[@HANSMKAMP]

Most of my conversations with a stranger is with airport personnel, sometimes in a store abroad, except in countries where German is spoken (my German is very good and I can use it in various situations). I speak English with my Russian girlfriend, but I try to speak Russian most of the time. I know this is partly outside of the scope of your English lessons on KZbin.

[@rachelsenglish]

Thanks for sharing @HANSMKAMP

[@englishforever]

Sup, Rach. Happy 2025. I was on vacation here. Y'know, after a 345 days of either working or preparing classes, by the way, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I took some days off to lay low. Great video on tips to travelers. Definitely, a keeper. How are the kids? Husband? I hope you have an eventful year.

[@rachelsenglish]

We're all okay @englishforever! Hope you are too. Thanks!

[@fanaticadlos80]

I have a question: why did you say IN an airport instead of AT the airport? prepositions are so confusing 😅 You're the best! 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@rachelsenglish]

Thanks! Either one of these options (IN AN or AT THE) could have worked here.

[@fanaticadlos80]

@rachelsenglish thank you!! I've learned a lot from your videos I ❤️ them🤗🤗

[@RitikRaj-q7k]

Ma'am,can you explain the difference between two words observe and celebrate.it's really confusing.can i use both words interchangeably? It's my humble request from you please answer my query.

[@rachelsenglish]

For some holidays, you can use either word. For holidays that are more serious or somber events, you would only use "observe".

[@RitikRaj-q7k]

@rachelsenglish Thanks, ma'am, your help means a lot to me.

[@DigitalProReview]

Great expressions but just a word of advice. It's not good to exchange seats because if there is an airline emergency/cash the airline's manifest is used for identifying passengers.

[@MrVuanh07]

I do but it's temporarily disabled now.

[@englishforever]

Really? A little RUDE? That makes a lot of sense. That is why some Brazilians complain that Americans did not want to talk to them. Our intonation here goes down in yes=no questions. In other words, it does not have a stressed syllable shift. Interesting.

[@englishforever]

Where did you find the friendly easygoing people? I've been to NY. They're not that nice. Come to think of it, your Englisis perfect. Huh. That might be it. hahaha

What's with that… How do you say that? Automapia? 0:20

[@rachelsenglish]

I believe you mean the word "appropriate". Something appropriate is suitable or proper in the circumstances. So here, I'm talking about phrases and vocabulary that might be good to know when you're in this situation.

[@HANSMKAMP]

The conversation between Rachel and her twin sister in the wrong seat, is good generally, but remaining staying in the wrong seat is against the security rules, at least in Western-Europe. You are supposed to sit in a seat that corresponds with the seat number on your boarding pass.

[@englishforever]

"I can call my husband at home and he can come pick me up." should be "....at home, and he can..." Why is there a comma there? Because AND is a connector. After connectors, we use a comma if there is a subject and a verb. I am sad and angry. NO COMMA. I am sad, and I am angry. We need a comma. Sorry, I'm a grammar freak.
