Hey, my teacher Max, thank you for your kind words.It's so much encouraging and inspirational.I'll tell you my story why I'm so passionate about English.I failed in the English exam in 1967.My friends and coworkers said, 'Your English is terrible.' I never give up and I follow my passion,I can't speak English well, but l'm Okay with clear pronunciation and correct grammer . Most foreigners compliment my English.You know, unfortunately, I was insulted by a small minded Englishman, my attitude towards Englishman is different. You know what, he called me stupid and said to me, 'You can't make the point, your English is rubbish.' You know, English is the universal language, it belongs to people all over the world. It's a tool of communication. Iearning a foreign language is about being able to understand others and to communicate with confidence.He's not the man to judge my English, he never know what roads I took to get to where I am at. I feel proud what things bring to the table as a non-native speaker. Who cares what he says and thinks.He was born into the language, let him go his old ways. I'm the NEW SPEAKER of English. Thanks so much .Have a wonderful beautiful day.I'll see you in the next video.Take care, my teacher Max. Bye for now.
Hello, I'm sorry to hear about that man. Unfortunately the negative things we hear tend to stick in our minds more than the positive things, don't they? Even if there are more positive experiences! It's probably evolutionary. :D Anyway, it's great you didn't give up! Have a nice weekend and take care!
I am trying to train to sound more British and your video was one of the most useful for me so far! I am struggling with British IR/ER sounds, maybe you could make one more video about them?((
We were studied only about 5 vowel sounds in English. Study of short and long vowel sounds may improve pronunciation. Thank you for teaching the phonetic symbols.
You are very beautiful , attractive and wonderful . Really I envy anyone lives with you because they are lucky.Thanks for your video about pronunciation of vowels . You may remember that I asked you for this video many times and you told me to be patient . I have a problem on UA-cam site so I could only now send you this message . I am grateful to your great effort . You know that many people present videos about English pronunciation but I really admire your simplicity in your character or your presentation for your videos. Another thing is that I love your voice because it is clear and soft . The most important thing is that in my country, we say that (you are a person who can enter any heart easily and people love her without reasons and this may be because you have kind heart which loves others) . For all these things I enjoy your videos because I feel happy when I see you . Thanks again and I am sorry for this long message. Have a happy life ! ( With my best wishes .... Refaat Nazeer from Egypt )
I was taught at school that there were five vowels, but there are more vowel sounds? There must be a lot of misconceptions and simplifying about how English works as a language when it’s taught to native speakers and ESL students (but I suppose that’s true of any language). A teacher doesn’t want to overload most students. Thanks 🙏 for expanding my mind a little on this ☔️ afternoon.
English with Max You’re a virtuoso, which is a good thing given your calling. Me: just a dabbler. But I’ve started the French language journey, little baby steps. Bit nervy like a first date, long way to go ... it’s the looking/sounding stupid thing.
Thank youuuuuuu Max you are the best teacher in the world. I watched this video more than 20 times and I tried to copy your voice at the same time not only I masterd the 20 British vowel sounds, even my voice got opened and I almost can sing as well, for the first time my friends are impressed by my singing. X
Wow this is great and so helpful... Thank you really ... Could you make other videos for every sound of monophones sounds please ... Because we find a real difficulties to distinguish between some sounds like \æ\,\e\, and \^\ ... And thanks our prof.
My pleasure! I'll try to make more pronunciation videos, but I have a long list of videos I want to make, so I can't promise anything... I've already made a couple of videos comparing vowel sounds. You might find these useful: ua-cam.com/video/StSBQ5PtQAc/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/VWcm0PuO-oU/v-deo.html
Hi, Max! Why do you teach English English? You're australian. It's not a critic but only a surprise. Do you live in England? Do you speak in Australian accent or in English accent during your classes? Your accent, during your classes, is similar to the English accent to me.
Hello My dear teacher Max,A lot of thanks. I am Hussain from India ,have been learning English following your valuable videos. Ma'am in this video's which sounds are R-controlled sounds. Could you please tell me?
As an American it’s interesting to see how we lost a lot of these vowels because we smash the sounds together to make the words faster. It seems English people more thouroughly pronounce the vowels in each word. Like the word “pure” she says “pee-uoo-eh” we say it “pyer” all one crunched sound. It’s interesting.
I'm beginning to intermediate level, to be frank, I don't know how to pronounce words but this video beneficial for learning English users 🥰🥰Thank you so much, mam 🥰🥰Lots of love from India🥰🥰im huge fan of your killing smile 😍😍😍
They're similar, but there is a difference. It might just take some practice or listening to them several times. Have you watched my video on how to pronounce six and sex? That might help. :)
Thanks! I'd also like to know when to use /æ/ or /ɑː/. That would be very helpful. For example: in American english "mask" is pronounced /mæsk/, while in British english, it's pronounced /mɑːsk/. However, if we take the word "matter", for example, both AmE and BrE would use this /æ/ sound to either say it or transcribe it. I'm confused! are there any rules for this? Thanks in advance, and cheers from Chile.
Good question :). Generally speaking the change occurs before these consonant sounds: [s], [f], [ɵ], [ns] and [nt]. But there are plenty of exceptions, so some people might no even consider these "rules".
According to wordreference there are some words that can be pronounced with /3/ and /e/ , I mean, both sounds are used for the same word for example the number seven. Is it correct or how should it be pronounced?
Good question. There is technically a small difference, but they are generally used interchangeably. /ɛ/ is used more often for American English and /e/ is typically used for British English.
can u read to pages of slowly using these vowels to give us an idea how will sound while reading maybe a conversation? thanks for your effort ❤️u have magical eyes btw
My pleasure! I don't have any videos like that planned, but all of the vowels are commonly used in speech, so if you find a video on UA-cam with British English, you'll hear them a lot. For example: ua-cam.com/video/PbbTnKO-g9s/v-deo.html (You can also slow down UA-cam videos. ;-))
Hi, this is Meron from Ethiopia (east of Africa). I have two daughters, one is 16 and the other is 10. Lula, my second child, was hospitalised various times, when she was in kg, grade 1.... As a result, she missed many classes. Now, I realized that she has difficulties in spelling words. I hope it is not too late. Max, where shall I start? Pls advice me.
Hello, I'm very sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I have very little experience teaching children, so I don't think I'm the best person to ask. But I'm sure there are lots of websites about child literacy. I wish you and your daughter all the best!
Hi Ma'am Please make a video for mouth movement(when we make any sound) in vowel and consonent sounds. Please clearly show the position of tongue, Teeth, lips.
Max, the trouble is that only one character appear in words for a vowel that has 4 sounds. And then we see that character, but in reading it we don't know which sound to give it of the 4. How do you solve this catch?
There's no easy answer, unfortunately. Actively listening to something while reading the transcript might help you learn the correct pronunciation of words faster.
I think it depends on your learning style. Lots of people find it helpful if they can understand the phonetic symbols (in other words, if they can read them), but you don't need to learn them. All the best and thank you for watching!
We're pleased with the 20 vowel sounds. What are their names? A E I O U Y have names and sounds. What sbout the other names of the other 14 vowels? Can teacher tell us, please?
That could become very complex. Because you have various stresses, and various tones as well, both of which can completely alter the meaning of a sentence.
Hi Max!Could you tell me is the "o" in the words like "choir","memoir","pissoir“ pronounced consonant sound "w"?I have checked the dictionary and there is a "w" sound in these words pronounciation . I am not sure if my guess is right. Could you tell me where the "w“ sound come from?Thank you very much!
Yes, they're pronounced like Ws. ;) Regarding "memoir" and "pissoir", it's because they come from French, but I'm not sure why "choir" is pronounced the way it is.
tihs might be a factor of my hearing... some of the dipthongs have such sublte sound changes that its sounds like one vowel.. perhaps its lost in the American way of speech? thanks for this info!
Yes, when we speak quickly, some might sound like one vowel :). And in American English sometimes a single vowel is used when a diphthong is used in British English. E.g.: dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/series dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/parent
Muito bom (como sempre!)! Sou acostumado com o sotaque americano e gosto de vê-la pra me acostumar com o seu também. Vou tentar fazer a legenda em português_BR
OMG I can't hear the difference between the /ɒ/ as in hot and the /ɔ:/ as in walk. they sound very similar to my ears. But I kind of noticed that for the /ɔ:/ sound your mouth is more closed and your lips more rounded than the /ɒ/ sound. Would people be able to understand me if I'd say [hɔ:t] instead of [ hɒt ] ?
Yes, you're right - the lips are more closed for the /ɔ:/ sound. :) And yes, people would still most likely understand you. The pronunciation of vowel sounds also varies a lot among native speakers because of regional accents. :)

Hello My dear teacher Max,A lot of thanks. I am Hussain from India ,have been learning English following your valuable videos. Ma'am in this video's which sounds are R-controlled sounds. Could you please tell me?
No problem!
Those are in American pronunciation - this is British pronunciation. :)
Excellent video. I have a question regarding the following diphthong "ʌɪ". Is there any significant difference compared with "aɪ"?
I've never heard /ʌɪ/ spoken about as a diphthong. But yes, those two vowels together would be similar to /aɪ/. It probably depends on the dictionary.
Hi Max, Thank you so much!! I finally understood the difference of sounds in vowels. You are the best English Teacher !
Thank you! 😃
Hello Max Teacher.....u teach well English ♥️❤️

Why is sxhwa sound is important?
Because it's a very common sound. It's in many, many words! ;)

Hello mam, make a video on syllable and word stress
That could become very complex. Because you have various stresses, and various tones as well, both of which can completely alter the meaning of a sentence.
