Fantastic video Emma! Some teachers tell their students to say 'seaside' instead of 'beach' to avoid this /ɪ/ and /iː/ problem, but I think it is important to work on the difference!
As a Hungarian it's really easy to make a difference between /ɪ/ and /iː/ because we have i and í in our alphabet which are pronounced basically the same (as /ɪ/ and /iː/).
Hi.. Ma'am Emma... I'm studying phonetics and phonology..so I'm watching your videos to learn basics.... amazing and wonderful...provided me rather help to learn.. so I wanna say THANKS TO YOU. Keep it up,,,
@@Pronunciationwithemma Ohhh.... I'm so glad too. Thank you Ma'am Emma for supporting me....... So make a video on Triphthongs too, and please do tell about the placement of all vowels. The last thing that you need tell us that why we study Cardinal Vowels. I'm looking forward Ma'am. :)
I'm pretty sure that some people pronounce "busy" wrong cause they don't know how to say it right way. The deference is that some people don't care how to say it right and another ones who interested in English still learning pronunciations and English at all. I know it's funny for British people to hear weird sounds, but as for me i'm trying to sound better. Every one makes mistakes, doesn't it? Thanks for your video Emma. Your videos are really helpful.
Brilliant Emma ....Best British Pron on RU-vid. Many thanks... A small suggestion ...As a language leaner and English teacher it would be great if you could add a X graphic (in red) when you are demonstrating the incorrect sound. Or alternative sound to the word groahic on the screen. Can be a bit confusing for some students.
A very very useful lesson as always! I like a lot that you say the wrong pronunciations of words as well because I think in this way we can understand better the sounds and this helps us to recognize and to distinguish them. I think you said sit-peach-feet-bit. Thank you very much! :)
I agree! I think so many teachers on RU-vid who teach pronunciation don't often distinguish between what learners tend to say and what's correct (in British English, anyway). So many students can never really hear or feel that difference. Luckily, I'm here to help though! :) Also, you're SO CLOSE!!! I'll post the answers in the description of this video tomorrow morning (23rd March) and on Facebook and Instagram for you. Thank you for your support as always!
I have noticed my mistake.... aayyy, " my stupid ears"! :D Anyway, I like doing mistakes because it helps me a lot to improve my English. Yes, I totally agree with you, Emma! And unfortunately, there are many online English ''teachers" and I think we English learners should be more selective. I would like to see that more people support the content knowledge and the ability of teaching not blabla and blablablu English. Thank you for being here!
Well done, Emma I'm still having issues with the long "i", because the words with it and the words with the short still end up being pronounced the same way. An example is shown here it and eat When they occur together in a sentence. How I wish i could share with you directly to give more practical examples. I sincerely your work 👍👌🥂🙏
Hello. I have discovered that you exist. Oh you are of great help to me. I have to learn to speak in English. I am Spanish but my biological family is English and I need to be able to communicate with them. My English pronunciation is so bad. It's impossible to make some English sounds come out of my mouth. No.. Thanks a lot. You are a great help to me. (I use translator to write to you) xx What city are you from? I like your accent
Thanks for you video, it's very useful. May I ask you to make a video with some spelling rules? I mean, how do I know when to use the long I: or the short one? Thanks!
Hmm... English isn't a phonetic language so it's very hard to do that, sadly. On my online course I have some spelling rules for every single sound. Maybe that will help?
