I am a Brazilian-Italian in America and after 40 years of speaking English just found you on KZbin and loved it.

[@francoisechandler2968]

I speak four language and I can honestly say that what has helped me master a foreign language pronunciation is to listen to a foreigner speaking my native language. Let me explain my native language is French and if I want to speak perfect Portuguese I listen to a Brazilian speak French and try to imitate the sound they make in French and then try those sounds in Portuguese.

[@TheMelo617]

Hi, Annmarie! As a Brazilian learner I've found this video very useful. I actually have been studying English for years and I'm not happy my pronunciation and accent and am doing my best to overcome that problem.

All the best and success in your career!

Hi Annemarie! Thank you for your video, it is very helpful and it's important to understand a difference between a written and spoken language.In my case I think it is not only about pronunciation, it is about changing my way of thinking about the language what I have been learning. And one more comment I use now see ya more often :)

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Thanks so much for the comment, Silvia. There certainly are differences between written and spoken English and those differences can be challenging. I'm excited that you're making some great changes in your English.

Congragulations madam, i started watching your vedios recently and I am really improving in terms of pronunciation and in terms of speaking fluently, but I read the people's comments and I have realized that mostly people have a grammatical problem, so I suggest that you add some more grammar lessons to your podcast. Anyway I Thank you so much for the tireless effort you intend to improve our English confident. GOD bless you.

Here in Italy there are many different dialects. For example: if a person who comes from to the north of the country speaks his own dialect with someone who comes from to the south, very likely they won't be able to understand to each other. Does that happen even in America? I mean, are there different dialects which are difficult to understand to american people who come from to different areas of the country? Anyway, great job!

Annmarie, May I correct you? We normally talk "with" people rather than "to" them. The former is a conversation, the latter is a lecture!

[@walterwhite5578]

In my opinion, @7:20 if a native speaker detects an accent and asks that person what they are doing in that country, for example, USA I think that can be classed as rude. You have no right to ask them what they are doing in the USA or any other country. As a native English speaker, I would never ask a foreigner what they are doing in the UK.
