I moved from Kenya to the 🇺🇸 and I'm 100% fluent in English, but most Americans don't understand my accent. Have had to take lessons and this has really helpful.
I'm so glad to finally find someone who understands what an accent is. You can teach people how to pronounce words all day long, but that doesn't get rid of their accent. Accent runs deeper. It goes to the root of how people form their words. It involves "placement," and muscle tension. This is why people can imitate accents even with words they have never heard uttered in the foreign account. People can just sound French, Italian, German, Chinese, etc. using any word they wish.
This is so interesting. My first language is Spanish and I started to learn English when I was 9, I'm 41 now. During my high school years I was casually told I had a heavy accent, and that made me self conscious. So I decided to study what people looked like when they spoke perfect English, and I learned a lot from that, and practice. I learned where to place my tongue, and how the air flow affected the specific sound. I practically have no accent now, and I share what I know with whoever it may help.
Maybe I repeat myself. You're doing a superb job Rachel. This is intelligent, analyzed in depth and transferable. I'm French, and taught American English for years (sometimes with Carolyn Graham's help) before I came across your work. I wish I had known your Academy before. I'm retired now, but regularly listen to you, and still feel on a learning curve, a gift of life at my age, thanks to you.
This is so fascinating. I have also managed to acquire a native-like accent (as confirmed by many Americans some of whom only heard me the first time) and your videos have helped me a lot along the way. What I also found very useful was immitating native speakers, even exaggerating the intonation and sounds they make because what seems exaggerating to you might actually just be normal. What I think about American English is that... you can't just be quiet and constrained about it. You have to open up. That doesn't mean speaking loudly, it just means to talk about everything as if you just discovered it.
Oh my gosh!!! You're our English Godesse which means that we gotta actually worship you as our English savior,i was being learning English from other teachers but they weren't juicing up, i was sometimes baffled,but when it comes to yours i finally fathom all about the American accent Even though when I'm speaking some people tryna tell me that i fake it however i gotta keep up the good work!!!
My throat hurts when I'm practicing English, I thought that occurred only with me, I feel better now hahaha, I need to practice my speaking a little more. Thanks for this video, keep your good job.
It happens to everyone who’s learning a different language, you have to use muscles and place your tongue in positions that are new , that your not used to, it makes sense.
Wow, what a humble attitude you have! Listening to your students in their own native language! I never saw a teacher doing that before! It tells everything! You shouldn't do that but I can imagine you are the only one who could learn Hungarian wovels - or other sounds exist in the world - perfectly. Thanks! We learn so much from you! 🏅⚘ A lesson a day keeps our accent away. 😊
thank you for the tips, I have been here in USA for 29 years and feeling frustrated that I still have Burmese accent when I speaks English, thank you for teaching me on line
Great from Great (Great lesson from the great teacher). This lesson should be seen by all American English language learners. It abbreviates hours and hours on other sites.
Rachel is definitely the QUEEN of American English. One day I'd like to be like you so smart and with your huge ❤. Please Rachel keep the excellent job up
@@rachelsenglish You're welcome. Here with my kids checking their homework . Then I'll take them to school and go to work. Hard day but I love being a super mom.
I'm obssesed with your classes.❤️ I'm studying english by my own and I always want to watch all of your lists of reproduction every day! Thank you so much of your help. You have taught me a lot and it never stops!❤️ Thank uuuu!
I think that pronouncing the American r is also a good approach to find your American placement...the sound itself has such a deep quality that really helped me shift towards the right placement....
Just awesome! I had kind of instinctively realized that when teaching Brazilians, since they tend to speak in a very high pitch, which sounds unnatural. But it is hard making them change that. Your video helped me think of a way.
Thank you ma'am for teaching us such great US english. For you my english become better and my English accents become totally American. I'm so grateful to you, ma'am. Love from a 13 years old Indian girl 🇮🇳🇺🇲
Thank you ❤ I was questioning recently about it and i had a feeling that it’s not only about articulation or pronunciation. And fortunately today I found the answer, thank you so much. I’m from Russia and I loved your tip that we should switch between English and our native language
Hey Rachel. I've been practicing in your academy since last month. I wanna thank you. It's awesome. I started to sound the way more natural. I learnt lotsa stuff I've never thought about. My listening skill is also improved. Guys, if you hear me don't waste your time and start learning pronunciation at the beginning. I'd been stuck at intermediate lvl for years no kidding. But as soon as I started practicing my pronunciation I got free. I feel new burst of motivation it's like second wind. I threw away my crutches and keep practicing. There's a lot of things to learn yet. Thank you one more time❤
Hey Rachel, what you are teaching here is larynx control! That's a key singing technique :) . As a anecdote, many years ago I mentioned to one of my English teachers that when I lowered my voice pitch I felt like I was able to pronounce English better. He said that voice pitch and pronunciation were actually not connected, and that I was imagining that... Well you are now proving who was correct. Thanks!
I like Rachel's approach and always I found things that she points out that anybody else is teaching you to do and it it is amazing and also brings results.
@@languagetraveler126 Evet çok faydalı ama aksan öğrenmeden önce konuşma, yazma, gramer gibi şeyleri öğrenmek gerekir bence. Bunları halleden bir kişi için faydalı.
Hey Rachel I'm just a student studying in class 10 but literally I needa say this that you've changed my life b'coz i wanna speak native english but i couldn't do but now it's so easy to understand contraction n reduction in movies it's just b'coz of you and I wanna thanku❤️
Hey your use of reductions is great, but people don't usually type with reductions, but we sometimes do when we text. It might be good practice to spell out reductions though. Keep up the good work : )
Thank you UA-cam for Rachel. This channel is my foundation and inspiration. I am one of the thousands out there that want to improve my English communication skills.
My husband is from Belarus. When he was learning English he'd ask me a certain word and then he'd say the word over and over until he felt confident. He spoke nearly perfect English within a few years.
Guys very use information. I struggled with placement a lot until I discovered this one trick: When practicing shadowing/imitation place your hand gently on the Chest and lower your pitch and feel the vibration. It automatically fixes your focus on chest (lower placement) Please try it. I wish you all the best❤
Belize, we want a comprehensive course to learn English from zero to professionalism in the American dialect, and thank you very much, you are the best
I feel like the articulation placement of Chinese is definitely higher than American English, Thanks to my best online teacher Rachel！ I can practice immediately
Thank you soooo much for this video !!! I try to improve my accent for months, I worked a lot on my pronunciations but I couldn't understand why my voice kept sounding french. This technique with the throat and lower the voice is outstanding, it changes everything !
I'm aware that I speak in a higher pitch in my native language than I do in English. But after seeing this video, I believe I need to go even lower to get the American accent.
Rachel!! This is awesome! This one trick alone helped me make sudden and drastic improvements in how I feel and sound, when speaking for long durations.
I came here from a Channel Called ZamericanEnglish, and saw you in one of Ibrahim's videos, your channel is soo useful and helpful with a lot of good work and lessons that help people with English, Appreciate From Egypt.
Really good lesson! The trouble for me though is that whenever I lower my voice placement, the overall volume goes down. If I want to speak up, I inevitably get a higher placement. Even when Rachel tried to demonstrate that you can still have a lower voice placement when speaking louder, (the moment she screamed "I'm angry") I could still notice her voice tone and placement a couple notches higher. I don't think you can raise your speech volume at the same time you're lowering your voice placement. That placement Rachel is referring to is only valid for a relaxed, face to face conversation I think.
Rachel, listening to this, I also think you would be a great speech therapist. Sometimes pronunciation has a relation with speech therapy. Especially this video makes me think so.
when I am working on my abs, lower placement becomes easier. Then I get the feeling that there is a connection between my diaphragm and the muscles around my lips( I usually notice a lip-shaping pattern with native speakers as if they were smiling while speaking. The sure thing is the more you feel understood the less anxious and the better you perform orally. big up to you Rach
Ok,if I'll say you're just a great teacher,is that would be enough to discribe your amazing way of teaching?a million thanks Rachel for your very helpful tips I love learning English because of you🥰🥰
Thank you so much. I have struggled to speak fast english naturally even though I have lived in Canada for 3 years. Sometimes that makes me want to give up and disappointed but I keep up and hope that I can make it one day. This video is so helpful. Thanks to it, I realize what I need to work on.
I’m Arabic speaking and for three years I studied Quran the way it was revealed. 25 out of 28 Arabic letters have the opening technique (exactly what you describe Rachel. The remaining 3 are not existing in the English language. 22 letters have the lowering characteristic you describe (the rest 6 are not existent in the English language). I just tried your technique with American English, and OMG how much sense it makes. This is huge Rachel, what an original discovery ❤️
Wow, I practiced this while watching the video and it was awesome the change, I work at a call center and I know that is hard to understand accents for some people or they think that for your accent you might not understand English, so I'll use this to bring a big difference and be better on it, Thank you so muuuuch!!!
Rachel is spot on. It feels like I'm a whole 'nother person when I express myself in English that it felt fake and forced at first. But then I realized that's what's code-switching is all about. The tone, the melody and even the placement are vastly different. I now speak English as if I grew up in an English-speaking country and that's how I express myself best. That's probably how true bilinguals feel. 😂
Hey Rachel u r really really a good teacher...I m from India and I love speaking to American people... I also always wish to speak like an native speaker... U help me a lot...thank u soooo soo much Rachel ! 😊
Hi, Rachel! I have followed your channel for two years but it's my first time to leave message. I have to say this video is too useful! I always struggled with my English accent but still couldn't speak like native speaker. After trying the tips in the video, it really helps me a lot! Thank you for sharing!

I'm increasingly lovin' it every new thing you teach us. I started to appeal by your method and way of speaking. Thank you for the way you are. Keep it up! Regards from Argentina. See ya.
Wow ... I've had already realized the difference between American placement and my native language placement. And... yeah, when I speak English I always talk with my native language placement. It's pretty hard to talk with the American placement, but I will try. By the way, your explanation about that is amazing.
Thank you so much for this video and all of your amazing work. I knew you and your English teaching course on youtube since I was in high school, probably 12years. Wow, I have never ever seen any English teacher that could put all of their hearts into their lessons just like the way you do, the way you organize the lessons, the way you analyze things, teach me how to speak like a native speaker, I am greatly appreciated from deep in my heart. I talked about you anytime I found someone whom interested in English. You made huge breakthrough in my life. I couldnt speak English with kinda of American accent without you, Rachel. Thanks god I found you at the right moment. Hope you and your family are always be safe, happy and successful. Cant wait to see your next videos.
Hey Rachel, I think you're right. My native language is Chinese, I have been using the technique that lowering my pitch/deeping my voice to speak English (as my private teacher pointed out few years ago). English has much lower pitch than Chinese in general. So I felt like I was talking like a man when I first speaking English n a much lower pitch, now I got used to it. The problem now is when I speak my native Chinese, my pitch become low, and I have to try hard to increase my pitch to speak proper Chinese.
Rachel, you're an inspiration. I'm an English teacher as well but I learn from you every now and then and I love your strategy. Keep up the good work and thank you ❤
Try using jaw-dropping after the words was, were, or is. Also, try using jaw-dropping when it is something you see. For example: The magician's final trick was jaw-dropping, leaving the entire audience in stunned silence. The athlete's jaw-dropping performance broke multiple world records. The view from the mountaintop was absolutely jaw-dropping, with a panorama of the entire valley. The special effects in the movie were jaw-dropping, making the action sequences look incredibly realistic. Her transformation after the makeover was jaw-dropping; she looked like a completely different person. The news of the company's unexpected bankruptcy was jaw-dropping to all its employees. The chef's culinary skills were jaw-dropping, creating dishes that looked like works of art. The luxury and opulence of the mansion were jaw-dropping, with marble floors and gold-plated fixtures. The speed at which the new technology operates is jaw-dropping, revolutionizing the industry. The artist's latest sculpture was jaw-dropping, showcasing an incredible level of detail and craftsmanship.
Hello Professor Rachel Your method of teaching and explanation are excelent and amazing, i do appreciate your job. All the best. Take care and have a good time Your Student from Algeria.

It's so hard to learn accent. Unless born American or grow up in America. Nice to share a great tip. Million likes
Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much for this video and all of your amazing work. I knew you and your English teaching course on youtube since I was in high school, probably 12years. Wow, I have never ever seen any English teacher that could put all of their hearts into their lessons just like the way you do, the way you organize the lessons, the way you analyze things, teach me how to speak like a native speaker, I am greatly appreciated from deep in my heart. I talked about you anytime I found someone whom interested in English. You made huge breakthrough in my life. I couldnt speak English with kinda of American accent without you, Rachel. Thanks god I found you at the right moment. Hope you and your family are always be safe, happy and successful. Cant wait to see your next videos.
Wow 12 years! Time flies so fast Wenny! Happy to hear that my videos helped you. Keep it up and thanks for sharing! :)

Excellent lesson, Rachel.
Thank you!
Hey Rachel, I think you're right. My native language is Chinese, I have been using the technique that lowering my pitch/deeping my voice to speak English (as my private teacher pointed out few years ago). English has much lower pitch than Chinese in general. So I felt like I was talking like a man when I first speaking English n a much lower pitch, now I got used to it. The problem now is when I speak my native Chinese, my pitch become low, and I have to try hard to increase my pitch to speak proper Chinese.
Here is video about lower LOWER LARYNX vs RAISED LARYNX - ua-cam.com/video/_aJ3nklxkbo/v-deo.html

Rachel, you have jaw-dropping English teaching skills. I learned this idiom today, I hope it's in context. Other than that you're great!
Try using jaw-dropping after the words was, were, or is. Also, try using jaw-dropping when it is something you see. For example: The magician's final trick was jaw-dropping, leaving the entire audience in stunned silence.
The athlete's jaw-dropping performance broke multiple world records.
The view from the mountaintop was absolutely jaw-dropping, with a panorama of the entire valley.
The special effects in the movie were jaw-dropping, making the action sequences look incredibly realistic.
Her transformation after the makeover was jaw-dropping; she looked like a completely different person.
The news of the company's unexpected bankruptcy was jaw-dropping to all its employees.
The chef's culinary skills were jaw-dropping, creating dishes that looked like works of art.
The luxury and opulence of the mansion were jaw-dropping, with marble floors and gold-plated fixtures.
The speed at which the new technology operates is jaw-dropping, revolutionizing the industry.
The artist's latest sculpture was jaw-dropping, showcasing an incredible level of detail and craftsmanship.
