@@rachelsenglish hey, Could you please explain why I get stuck or mess up my pronunciation and intonation in the middle of the sentences? I have difficulty with my pronunciation and intonation in the middle of the sentences, sometimes it's okay, but not often, in fact I'm able to pronounce individual consonants and vowels correctly, but when they're all in the word or sentence, it's difficult for me to get it right, but I do it alright, but often, I think my command of pronunciation is not that great, so I don't know why, that's all I want, and I'll appreciate your feedback, madam.

Hi Rachel! Always a pleasure and a privilege to watch your clsses. As I told you before it's impressive your skill to explain any issue of the English language. Everything becomes clear and easier. I'm very, very into pronunciation, accents. This class was 'taylor made' ( using idioms! ) 4 me. My first English language teacher is from a city named Grand Forks, ND and I believe her accent influenced me for ever. Whenever I listen u I remember her due to the accent, very rhotic ( am I right? ). I love the rhotic accent! Best thks and best wishes from Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil!

[@rachelsenglish]

hey :) wanna say something to the pronunciation. I´m from germany and me da spoke a very common accent to the american english, i grew up bilangual and all me english teachers in germany went crazy because of my "wrong" pronunciation I always got bad grades in english. That's why it's important that there are people like you who show the world that in english, it's not just the frickin oxford and the standard american accents.
