[@goscopi4653]

Best english accent on internet and KZbin 👍. Jade speaks a great english accent.

[@MeTheRob]

This takes me back to infants' school, and learning ro read. I was really good at it, but I met my match when I first saw the word 'work'. I hated that word, and I think it might have influenced my lifelong attitude to work.

[@jimbob-robob]

I had a revelation when I figured out how to pronounce "Stomach" as a kid as I never associated "stoe-match" with tummy when I saw it...

[@fastwalker2163]

Thank you very much, Jade! :)

[@doumen5563]

You do not seem well in the video... hope you're going well

[@raoufallani5142]

fantastic lesson

[@Spokenenglish12]

Great lesson

[@quiet7322]

"Word", which you kept saying all the way through the lesson. Thank you.

ZBE she says that word according to British RP pronunciation rules and that is correct. The one here wrong is you! There are other accents but in this case her lessons are for those interested in it. Your comment is totally wrong.

[@studyspirit5465]

Actually ZBE is kinda right

[@DonJohnSpain]

I believe the most often used word in your lesson is word. So, most definitely, word too.

[@wildwest8564]

Incredible, keep up the good work)))

[@saliouiilyas]

My favorite teacher

[@angelicabertellini]

Thank you Jade

[@boglarka5183]

Great, i tought i did something wrong the whole time, but fortunately my mother language has the "ö" in it, so it was natural to say words like that :D

[@JeyhanGardyan]

Nice to see you again, Jade

[@ismaelspechtintuition3519]

Thanks. Awesome.

[@aparecidoferreiravais321]

Hi Jade great video thanks a lot Have a great Thursday 😉🇧🇷

[@thundy_0472]

Buen video. Te amo ♥️ muchas gracias

[@lokmanmerican6889]

Really? I've never noticed "work" mispronounced, and I work with many non- native English speakers ( including myself ) In my experience, "definition" gets frequently mispronounced (as "defination"). Can't think why.

[@user-bb8vf3tq6l]

Thanks a lot.⚘

[@user-sf2nx5yv9b]

Brilliant!)

[@Leslieleslie-zt5pw]

Beautiful like usual ☺️

[@vivianagambetta9197]

Useful video thank you

[@snowwold4767]

Thanks

[@henrikpetersen4779]

Very interesting. Easy sound for a dane or norwegian because it's the same sound as our letter ø. Perhaps a reminiscense of old norse elements in english or a common sound shared between languages that were closer related 1000 years ago, and where the sound still excists in a few english words. In danish its a very common sound found in many words.

[@user-yk8tt3ce1n]

In Russian we have ё for this

[@charo5320]

as a norwegian student i agree

[@seyyatkaya4478]

Süper hocam👍

[@piotrpyc8567]

What about "word"?

[@Franciscoluche]

/w3:k/ 😊👍 Hi dear teacher! My students often mistake “work” with “walk” too! 😅

[@user-is623zizo]

[@artnouveau1387]

Fantastic to see new videos coming up! Please keep doing it! It would be nice to have you on Instagram too

[@katarinanovak1217]

The word "word" crossed my mind 🙂.

[@sevinch1265]

Just SUPER👍

[@mukeshmalooka3686]

Nice 👍

[@gmeles1448]

How about 'warship' instead of 'worship'? And 'ward' instead of 'word'? 'Warm' instead of 'worm'?

[@Franeeky]

Warship - woorship Worship - weership Ward - word Word - weerd Warm - worm Worm - weerm

[@kooldude744]

Hi Jade! Could you please make a video on how to read correctly? When I read people say it is monotonous. How to fix it?

[@magyarbondi]

Read something out loud, record your voice, listen and recover from the shock, then try to improve your English intonation and pronunciation based on these lessons.

[@PearlAbdul]

Interesting

[@englishwithbatayneh5908]

Do you do a one to one online classes . I am so interested to have online classes with you

[@roadrunner956]

Sweetest english pronunciation and most gorgeous english presenter known to men... 😍😉

[@psisteak4122]

Exactly, she is absolutely beautiful.

[@timsummers870]

I find her pretty too. I'd love to have a chance to take her out. She'd like it too.

[@theamazingheathledger3776]

After you point out that the letter w in the beginning changes the value of the o (like in word, world, worm, work, worth, worthy, worse)- it's easier for the students to remember. There is a rule here (with the exception of wore, worn). While in other words like stork, cork, shore, snore, snort, core, tore, torn, etc.-- always /o:/

[@mahruddinharahap2454]

thank u

[@ceio834]

wow! i didn' know that!

[@sdstreiker]

I'll scan for you on the street while I'm in London next week :) It will be lots of work.

[@antoniopalumbo5305]

Already Fallen in love witcha :-)

[@antoniopalumbo5305]

You look wanderful

[@Meg.ofitness]

The best cute teacher eveeeerr

[@godehardfremdling2532]

I am not sure, because i am not an english man, but i think "to work" with the right pronunciation is mostly present, think on the beatles: "we can work it out" or "Lets work together". from Canned Heat. I think the most problems are to speak the "th" right , where your tougue sligthly touches the lips.

[@sahedrasel3255]

Jade you are looking different but more beautiful

[@KhalidNageb]

Hi jade, long time, you look stunning. Keep it up

[@marcel24ameno]

GALACTIC MIDDLE WORK SOUND))))

[@jimbob-robob]

I had a revelation when I figured out how to pronounce "Stomach" as a kid as I never associated "stoe-match" with the tummy when I saw it... I would have thought this was a much harder word than "work"...

[@nonquit]

I love you!

[@kellychristiansen2841]

I've never noticed anyone mispronounce the word work, either.

[@qentrepreneurship9987]

👏👏

[@aram5642]

How about making a video about getting sick, being sick, getting well. I bet there is a lot of idioms/phrases around the subject, but also not so obvious distinctions between sick vs ill, ache vs hurt, etc.

[@LXXVIIZONE]

come a long way from you london slang video lol

[@marioalbertojimenezsanjurj3183]

The first one!!!! By the way nice look!!!! Greetings from México. P.S. I did not find the quiz.🤔☹️

[@margarettee1380]

How do you say, 'chattel'? 'Machinations'?

[@fazkhan8009]

Could you teach how to Pronounce Says please, most people in yourkshire miss pronounce it .

[@hilltop9098]

What about “vase” the Americans say it the way it is spelled, we Brits say it with a “ar” sound like in Mars. In Indian my husband was taught to say “April” with the sound at the beginning of “Apple”, you can see how English can be confusing.

[@freddyromero3547]

Hello there, I understand, but then how do you pronounce to walk?

[@werquantum]

Word!

[@heart_of_tin]

my students always say the word "work" as "walk". sometimes I think the mean "walk" instead of "work". it's really annoying me. but what I figured out they just can't pronounce the "or" sound in "work" that's why I recommend to say with "r" sound. it's better than "walk" but I hate it

[@ascendantindigo271]

Southern Dialect Lesson -1 Ture means Tire. Ya'll means Everybody. Er'body means Everybody. Wurk means Work. Wurd means Word. Maw and Paw means Mum and Dad. Nauseated means Nauseous...bet you didn't see that coming.

[@senordan810]

I call it the zombie sound - groan like a zombie to practice it!

[@MeTheRob]

'Word" is another (staring you in the face) example - heh.

[@jamiesale9460]

I needed a limey - albeit a GOOD looking limey - to teach me how to say, "work?" Why not spell it, "werk" to rhyme with clerk , and jerk? But then we have smirk, lurk, burke (as in throttle), turk and Gurkha, irk, and shirk and more. aahh . . . I love this language.

[@chicolofi]

That's the British pronunciation, which differs a lot from the American one.

[@handsoffmycactus2958]

Francisco the former being the correct.

[@chicolofi]

@@handsoffmycactus2958 So you're telling me the British is the only correct?

[@Blueshot111]

No ordeal for Germans. We just pronounce wörk with an Ö. And it works quite well.

[@titehena8278]

exactly... it's big gap

[@pch2230]

I really expected the word to be "lieutenant".

[@florent9297]

Does someone know where I can make my english essay corrected ? I'm preparing CAE and would like a feedback, thanks!

[@ZugnachPankow]

Just say „work“ in German...ARBEIT! There is nothing you can mispronounce

[@ann1ka_]

same as the letter ö

[@youcefboxe]

We miss you

[@lagwulf1637]

much worse is the pronunciation of the word "love" - I often hear it pronounced in the way the o is pronounced in "lord".

[@user-ge3pl7yb9t]

You look different today. Beautiful.

[@DJ-gl8rw]

桑田陸王 This girl is beautiful not only today. Today she's beautiful just a different way. :)

[@pedrosalas3757]

My teacher from Wales doesn't pronounce work or world the way you do.

[@steven2809]

Pedro Salas Because Welsh is not English! He has an accent!
