It took me 7 years to find this video but as the old proverb says "Better late than never". I'm Colombian and I always contracted the pronunciation as in your first example (with the ev sound) and my local teachers said it was considered non-standard and I'd better follow the second one that sounded more American. What a relief to know I never made a mistake, I was just using another widely accepted form of reduction
I have a question about the first sound of this video, you said in the previous video "ɪ" (it sounds like a short "e") so, why do't you pronounce this sound "eɪ" (like "e + "short "e"). It sounds like "ei". I hope you can understand me. Thanks for the amazing video. ❤
Oh, heck no!! You won't be teaching my kid. You don't put a circle to start bs and ds. Bs, like down then lift pencil and wire a backward c. Ds, Suite a c then lift pencil and draw a line from the top touching the open points of the c. That's a lame k. Your letters under the line is mostly how you should be teaching as the proper, main way on the actual lines.
Denise, I think you answered a couple of grammar questions in the past. I had contacted you directly, but I cannot figure out how to contact you directly. Is there a way to contact you with a question.
I used to write in a cursive writing but our countries teachers who check the papers don't understand this format and I've score very less in my college time, failed many times just because of this writing i completed my college in 3 years but it take 2 years only, still I've got a C grade. I'm from Pakistan and people are outdated here especially the old generation, They don't understand us idk why? >_<
Those words reduce confusing me for quite a long time. Thank you so much. That’s the best side of internet which you find something that are seldom written in books. Thank you so much.
I have watched several videos about it, and got disappointed. At last I come to understand the the difference between the sounds. Thank you, instructor.
This is exactly how I hold a pen, I started to doubt if it was correct because I am currently living in India and at my first job my colleagues laughed at me for how I hold the pen. But it's good to know that I'm not the one with the problem 😁
None of my school teachers could tell me how to connect lower case Q in handwriting, and they also refused to admit they didn't knew, so they kept telling me how it's written when singled out. I was forced to figure out a way by myself, and I've been putting an extra line at the bottom of it, to differentiate it from a G. If anybody else here lives in Denmark with children and actually cares: please send them to a private school and avoid expensive language courses at "Studieskolen".
