Here's another quick story for you: My husband (not a native English speaker) lectures/teaches in English at a university, writes scientific papers in English... and guess what? He always uses subtitles when he watches series 😃 If you enjoyed this video, you might like this one too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-70KyNhJ2OKE.html

Thank you for the great lesson! ❤ And yes! We definitely need your in-depth video about all those contractions. Even though I know about them, my brain still often fails to recognize them. 😥 For example, in your quiz I heard the second sentence as "Chicken, I could have some more potatoes." 😂 Also, I would be happy if you considered making a video explaining how to pronounce the flat T sound.

I think the listening is the most important skill to develop, listen a lot, as much as you can and then writing and speaking will come along. This was such a helpful and intuitive video for me although I have to practice more the connectors and stuff like tha to improve my listening. Please keep doing these kind of videos, have a lot of value. Thanks 😊

@WellingtonGomes-tl3nr 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the lesson! It's funny tha the t's for d's substitution in american English sounds to me as a brazilian as t's for r's. But I guess we would need the ipa chart to properly describe the sound, speakers of other languages might hear it different from d's. I like the reasons you presented here they make feel good for not understanding something I might hear, I love that, maybe it is not my fault, great message. 😊

@EnglishwithBrittany 2 месяца назад

Hi! I definitely should have included phonetic transcriptions -- they just take a bit more time than I had! The flapped d is /ɾ/ on the IPA chart: easypronunciation.com/en/american-english-pronunciation-ipa-chart Thanks for your message -- Glad you enjoyed it!

@prramgfpm967 2 месяца назад

Yes.. the flat “t” sounds like one of “r” sounds in portuguese. There are two “r” sounds and one of them definitely is similar or even the same as the flat “t”. On the other hand, the “d” sound in portuguese is completely different of the flat “t”. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Great!, but I think there are also other reasons for that: 1. not knowing the right pronunciation of words 2. not knowing the essential words 3. not knowing a specific topic's vocabulary 4. not knowing idioms, contractions, and phrasal verbs 5. not knowing essential grammar 6. not being fast enough at listening so not able to memorize the idea of sentences and therefore not able to understand those.

Hiiiii I have a question I’ve been stuck at intermediate do you really know what is the best method or the best course or the best website or the best teacher to improve my intermediate English to advanced level? I really like your videos btw they’re just really useful and keep it up

@EnglishwithBrittany 2 месяца назад

Hi there! To be perfectly honest with you, there is no “best” for everyone. I know that’s probably not the answer you want to hear! Every person is different and so there simply is no best method or best teacher, in my humble opinion. However, the language learning “plateau” is normal and happens to most learners at some point. Here’s what I would recommend: (1) Get VERY clear on your goals. Why EXACTLY do you want to become advanced? How will it make your life better? (2) Which skills are you going to focus on? Speaking, writing, listening, reading, grammar? Identify your strengths and weaknesses and focus on your weaknesses. (3) What kinds of activities do you already enjoy doing in your life, that you can easily do in English instead? (4) Decide how you’re going to test or measure your progress over the next 3-6 months. (5) Every day, or every week, get 1% better.

@baipallijagdeeshwarrao9207 2 месяца назад

See, to speak English it is not necessary to listen but it is necessary to ask what you have heard, what is the meaning of what was said, It is superstitious to say that one will learn to speak English by watching TV shows, news, if this were the case then anyone could also speak Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, listen to the language and ask any youtuber repeatedly what is its meaning in my language, what do they say with this, then you will understand, second option You can easily learn the language by going to the country where it is spoken. It is necessary to become a child in order to learn, In my opinion, there is an American channel named Rachel English which can help you and in India, Dharmesh Sir's DSL English channel can help you, from my view, But it is necessary that you ask repeatedly the channel you are watching what is its meaning in my language, explain to me how this word came here, this will increase your intelligence.

@@EnglishwithBrittany When Eminem said : How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me. Why he used "could" not "can"? And also when said : The curtain closes. Why he used the present simple instead of the continuous tense? By the way the song's name is "When I'm Gone" And I know I am asking a lot but to understand that rule of grammar better from real examples not like "if I were rich, I would buy a yacht", I hope that you make a video about that because most of the channels don't cover real examples from songs and movies instead of these fucking examples. I know they're important to clarify the rule but also important to get or show real examples and advanced examples that make the rule goes deeper into learners' minds.

@@apdallahelsayed2075 #1. It’s great that you’re asking a lot of questions. If I can and if I have the time, I’m truly happy to help. I also hope that other students will see your questions and be helped as well. #2 Art (songs, rap, poetry) are a great way to practice pronunciation and learn vocabulary, but they aren’t always the best source of correct grammar. This is because artists play and take liberty with grammar - it’s a beautiful thing, but it doesn’t always follow the “rules” which is probably why most teachers don’t choose to use them as examples in class. #3 In the Eminem line you referenced, it’s hard to say why he chose “could” instead of “can” - Perhaps because this seems to be a sort of “dream” or imagined situation that he is describing in the song, and so he chooses to soften or weaken the possibility of the verb by using “could”. Maybe it’s simply because he thought it sounded better or flowed better with the song (as I said in number 2 above, artists will often prioritize the “sound” over correct grammar).
