I really love your improvement. You are making a lot eye contact right now, back then i thought your eyes doesn't quite met the camera. And i really love your teaching as always. It is always clear that you put a lot of effort even just to make a whole minute from 9-minute video. Kudos to you, Elliott. NEVER STOP TEACHING PLEASE!
You are beginning to take the English accent to a next level by your quirky and unprecedented way of teaching. It's an unparalleled change, a change which no other UA-camr brought about yet, albeit they have more subscribers. I'm glad to have come across such a person; now it feels like we know you in person. Cheers, bro! Xoxo
Hi Elliot! I’m new to your channel and I’m working hard on improving my British accent, intonation and pronunciation. Your work is amazing, please keep making videos like that! Thanks a lot!
@@Yiran Hi Ethan and Lily. Ethan, do you mean the way that English is spoken by the Queen, when you say "proper English"? In modern RP, we don't speak this way generally. The st in student often sounds like an S followed by a CH sound. So, the way I pronounce student sounds like I'm saying "s+ chew" at the beginning. Hope that helps. :)
@@ajs41 Hey Andy, it is so interesting how many accents exist in our small country! I am not that familiar with the West Midlands accent, so thanks for commenting. I should have perhaps said "modern Southern RP", although I did say "often" because even then, it can vary so much. Out of interest, would you say /stu:/ (more like the American pron) or /stju:/ (going straight into more of a y sound)?
Hi Elliot! I like watching your English lessons. I come from Poland and in Polish language we pronounce every single letter, there are no silent letters. Second thing, letter "i" is pronouce in Polish like "e" or "ee".
Great tips on pronunciation anatomy! I used to be really strict but, during a Cambridge exam seminar, I was told not to place too much importance on it. Just to make sure that words were easily understood (though not the Queen's). Would like your opinion on this. Thanks
This is quite interesting. In the dialect of English spoken in Ireland, we almost always pronounce the “r” sound, and don’t replace it with a vowel sound (as far as I’m aware). For example, I would very clearly pronounce the “r” sound when saying the words “work” or “teacher”
Excellent video Elliott! I'm learning a lot day by day, thanks a lot. Could you please make a video about the differences in pronunciation among /æ/ vs /e/ and /ʌ/ vs /ɜ/ vs /ə/?
Hi mate, I'd like to thank you for this lesson, there are lots of tutorials online, but not many tutors focuse on phonetic issues! All levels of English speakers are interested in improving their pronunciation in English. I would love to watch more lessons about phonetics.
Hi! I've just found your channel and I'm already hooked on it!. Please keep on making videos like this in order to help us improve our pronunciation skills! Have a good day!
Amazing video Elliott!! Very helpful! I'd like to see others about this topic and also I think you might stress what are the most common mistakes depending on the native language, such as for instance: most common mistakes amoung Italians and the Spanish, most common mistakes amoung Germans or Asians, ext. Thank you for everything! Cheers
Thank you Elliott! I'm from Korea and your British English course is awesome. It's very useful :) I go to London for 3 months every year but I was worried about that when I go back to Korea, I can't study real british English till I go to london again.So I'm really happy that I can get a nice English courses from you in korea!
Yes please! I loved the video from the very first seconds and i have already, instantly almost, improved, only because you explain paaaafect!! Love it!
Probably his British English is the most understandable one for me. He pauses before next chunks of meaning and firmly forms mouth shapes. These really make me understand him much easier than other native speakers
Elliot, I really like your accent and I appreciate every class you give us. I'm going to practise to sound like you. Thank you!! your Argentinian student!!❤
This is really helpful. Many Malaysian teachers are not very proficient in the language, hence the students have inherited the same mistakes when they converse on a daily basis. My students are often doubtful when I teach them the "th" sound. Now, I can show them this video to listen to how a native speaker pronounces those words. Thank you.
what I understood watching your videos is that my difficulty in understanding other people while they speak in English is their bad pronunciation. Because when you talk I understand almost everything. Congratulations on video lessons you are very good. Greetings from Italy
I love English but at the same time we are so blessed that Serbian language has got thirty letters which are pronounced as they are written...Bernard Shaw had only words of praise for it...thanks, beautiful English, cheers!!!🙂
Thanks a lot for very useful pieces of advice 😊 and yes, I'd like more common non-native mistakes to hear explained here 😉 British pronunciation is my favourite 😁
Love your videos. As a portuguese speaker, the hardest for me is getting the difference between a and u in some words, like buddy and baddy for instance. Or stuff and staff.
Just l wanted you to say, that l do really like and appreciate your videos because of the nice effective pronunciation teaching approach. That's why l did subscribe.. Well done 👍!! 🙋🙋🙋
I so love the British accent and I’m try to learn the different phrases and sayings , I’m from the states Cleveland Tennessee , true southerner to say 😄 but I would love to speak more proper, but I feel it would be a challenge, but thank you for these videos you do,. I love them 🙂
I'm following you courses, and i really like your pronunciation, and apsolutely i love your lesson.And i think you is the best teacher for me to improve my british pronunciation. Thank a lot..........😇🙏🏼👌
I'm studying English phonetics and phonology, and my teacher told me I have problems with the /z/ sound. I'm really working on it, and in fact, I thought you would say in this video that it is a common mistake. What do you think about this sound? (I know the video is a little old, but I'm started watching you since a week and I really enjoy your channel 😊.) Regards from Argentina!
I support you dear Elliott, you are great! Thank you for your help. I am still making a stupid mistake in the English language, but thanks to you I am feeling better. Have a terrific weekend.
I don't really have a problem with the first 2 mistakes but because I have learned to speak American I do pronounce the "r" most of the times, and I've been working on it recently, since I decided to speak British 😇
Same here, I am originally from France, I've lived in the United States for almost 35 years -- I had to 'relearn' how to speak English, LOL -- and sometimes, I catch myself mispronouncing words unintentionally, and correct myself immediately; at first, I was speaking English with a British accent, or as I call it, a pseudo-British accent, and people thought I was from England, which made me very happy, I could even fool British people into making them believe I was from England or whereabouts! And bit by bit, I lost my British accent and adopted the American accent, but there are words I still pronounce the British way, like the word 'leisure' for instance... so I see what you mean, My Little English Page.
Hello, Elliot! 👋👋 Your voice is like butter... 🤗 I would ❤a book on tape with your voice narrating. Such as, for example, bedtime stories for adults to go to sleep to. You would be a simply marvelous narrator. 🙏 Possibly to bring English bedtime stories to the U.S. I would definitely buy all of them! Simply brilliant! 😊👍
Love your videos❤️ I’m always struggling with my “t” sound before vowels in such words as “turn”, “better”, “term”, “autumn”, “winter”. If I try to soften it, it sounds just like “tch”, so I usually choose a “safer” way and just say my national “T” which sounds awful as well 🤦♀️ Will appreciate a lot if you explain how to properly pronounce this sound.
The only thing I find particularly difficult about the "th" sound - my native language is French - is when it is followed by an "s" sound. Perhaps I could manage it if I used what the Germans call a "Knacklaut", but it would sound awful ! Have you got a trick to overcome this? Thank you. I find all your videos enormously useful.
I thought non natives don't have the British accent is all about the throat. But now I finally figured out, it's all about the mouth shape ... Thank you so much!!!!
THAT was absolutely useful. Please do a lot of theses"mistakes" videos.
Thanks for the hard work you produce.😘👍
Yes make another video!
I really love your improvement. You are making a lot eye contact right now, back then i thought your eyes doesn't quite met the camera. And i really love your teaching as always.

Lol I haven't these problems. And I'm not native english speaker, i am russian.
I'm extremely happy that I found your channel. Thanks a million for all your lessons, so valuable and extremely helpful 👍👍
Truly you are one of the best teachers I've met on youtube. We are lucky to have such a great chance. Thank you, Elliott.
You have done a fabulous job in reviving the sound of the English language. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Cheers mate!
Hi Elliot! I’m new to your channel and I’m working hard on improving my British accent, intonation and pronunciation. Your work is amazing, please keep making videos like that! Thanks a lot!
Fantastic teacher with a brilliant British pronunciation. Thanks a million, Elliot.✌
I hope you do a video on 'St' sound like student, steward. It's quite distinctive how British pronounce it.

Exactly!
I so adore your enthusiasm, Eliot! Thanks a bunch ;)
I’ve become so addicted to your videos, you have an absolutely amazing way to explain everything, and particularly the “how” of the sounds. Thank you.
The difference between /I/ and /i:/ is a pronunciation problem for me.
Thank you for this video!!!
Hi Elliot! I like watching your English lessons. I come from Poland and in Polish language we pronounce every single letter, there are no silent letters. Second thing, letter "i" is pronouce in Polish like "e" or "ee".
I've just found this video, by chance. You're great, love your videos! A great help to a non native speaker! Thank you!
How to sounds more British
Say :quite
Someone:How old are u ?
Me: I’m quite 25 years old
This is underrated 😂

Oh God 😭😭😭😭🤣

Thank you for the lesson. Clear and understandable. Pretty emotional. It would be nice if there was an exercise at the end: sound + 7 words ...
This is quite interesting. In the dialect of English spoken in Ireland, we almost always pronounce the “r” sound, and don’t replace it with a vowel sound (as far as I’m aware). For example, I would very clearly pronounce the “r” sound when saying the words “work” or “teacher”

what I understood watching your videos is that my difficulty in understanding other people while they speak in English is their bad pronunciation. Because when you talk I understand almost everything. Congratulations on video lessons you are very good. Greetings from Italy
I think the /r/ sound depends on which variety of English we're talking aboyt because it's very clear and not omitted in American English :D
I love English but at the same time we are so blessed that Serbian language has got thirty letters which are pronounced as they are written...Bernard Shaw had only words of praise for it...thanks, beautiful English, cheers!!!🙂
