Omg I’m a native English speaker and I’m learning so much about the complex way we use the language without even knowing I’ve been doing it my whole life
Your lesson is pricelessly worthwhile. Thank you Rachel. You just have no idea how much you have contributed to our non-native English learning community.
"Friends" was my favorite when I grew up. It was broadcast in Indonesian television in 1990s when I was 8 to 11 years old. I was completely blank about English at that time (it had Indonesian subtitles), but it ignited my curiosity to learn English. Thanks to my English teacher when I was in grade 8. She was an angel. She taught us grammars and vocabulary in a very simple way just like you, Rachel. Since then, I read English stories and listened to English songs a lot. My English improved drastically until I was 18. I watched a lot of American movies and they introduced me more intimately into American English. I love your channel. It keeps me learning American English and culture.
Hello teacher, I hope you are doing well. Your videos are really helpful for me to improve my pronunciation and accent, and I would like to request a video on the topic of "Weak Forms" in English. I have trouble pronouncing these weak forms when speaking English. I hope you will consider creating a video on this topic. Thank you so much!
Hi @Manishpadwa! This is probably because the word is adapted from an Italian word. It's important to look up words like this, since they can be exceptions to general pronunciation rules.
Hi ma'am, i had a question. In the words "ear" and "here" is the /r/ sound preceded by a vowel sound or the /r/ sound is the vowel sound. Also is it similar for the /r/ sound in the word "over".
Thanks for your question! I generally consider R to be a consonant, but when it is UR it can act like a vowel. More on the UR sound here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ehn6XixUBKs.htmlsi=aTtKPnSNXkirv-Ef

Anyone interested in learning with me? I'm currently at the proficient C1 level and striving to reach the advanced C2 level. Let's elevate our speaking abilities together😊
So do we say "If I were there it wouldn't have happened" or "If I had been there it wouldn't have happened" talking about past? Also in school in the 90's they told me that both "If I were" and "If I was" could be used about future/present with "was" used if something is possible and "were" if something is impossible like "If I were born again" but "If I was better paid"
Sometimes for extra clarity, or if they aren't sure what the next word will be, people will use a true T in this word. However, usually if it's linking to a consonant, or if it's ending a thought group, it'll be a stop T. More about the stop T here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rjETn25MuDc.htmlsi=OzvgoE-FPB0-qMlg
Hi @user-un9it7wg5h! I'm not sure what you are asking here. Would you mind rephrasing your question? If it's about different pronunciations or vocabulary between the US and the UK, there are lots of differences. Some of the differences have reasons, but many have just evolved that way over time based on what people commonly say.
@@rachelsenglish thanks I'm familiar with that option. but I mean import your own subtitle. like different color for new words, new pronunciations, etc. it will be more understanable to students. thank you🌹
