Hi Egle, they were Vietnamese summer rolls. So, first we chopped a bunch of things to go in, including cooking shrimp. Then we took the wrappers, where were stiff, and soaked them in water to soften them. We put down the shrimp, bean sprouts, etc and rolled them up. Then you just eat, there is no frying that happens --- so they are very light and delicious!!
It's true that some of my older videos don't have subtitles. Put a comment on those specific videos that you'd like me to get to first. If you're not sure, press the CC button. I title the captions I've made "RE - English". Best, Rachel
You're a great person my teacher, after l watched your videos and studied them , yesterday for the first time in my life l had a conversation with a native speaker, and it's gone very well yet he thought that I was born in America, really I'm so proud of you being my teacher love you 😍
hi rachel, this was probably the best English lesson video I've ever seen.I study English for a long time and i never saw anyone explain TO BE Contractions so well
Thanks Rachel..I also found many other words : and expressions...he's doing quite a good job of it...chopping vs shopping and words about foods as basil, tofu, noodle, Julienne, cucumber,bean sprout, scrimp, verbs: flatten,slice.
Yes, the apostrophe-S can show possession, or be the contraction of IS. One is not a contraction, but a way of showing possession, the other is a contraction so can be replaced with the word 'is'.
Yes, when the Z is followed by a word that starts with the S, many people would make that an 's' sound (example: is something). I think it's less common with the SH sound, though to end an unstressed word, I can see dropping the Z sound (like in 'is she').
Hi, Rachel, superb video thank God I found this video I liked it a lot I learned real-life English with TO BE contractions I like your videos whenever you make something new in the kitchen thanks
HAS doesn't actually contract, but it does reduce (H is dropped, vowel reduces to the schwa). So in 'he has seen it before', we pronounce HE HAS as [hi əz], so it won't be quite the same as HE'S [hiz] (it's two syllables).
I wouldn't say anything there is reduced, but KEEP will be a stressed syllable and THIS an unstressed syllable. So it will sound similar to a two-syllable word with stress on the first syllable.
es increible la velocidad con la que hablan, lo tengo en vel 0,75 y aun es rapido en algunas palabras, estoy afinando mi oido con estas clases, gracias Rachel, tambien estoy en tus clases online que me han ayudado un monton, si esta canzado de tanta gramatica y aun asi no poder entender cuando le hablan, estos videos le ayudaran muchisimo, eso si, toca escuchar frase por frase hasta poder entenderla primero en veloc baja y asi hasta mejorar, no se desespere poco a poco vera los resultados
I might make the S, then SH sound, but I could also see in fast speech dropping the S (since it's ending an unstressed word), and going straight into the SH.
Thanks for this amazing lesson! I like studying contractions to improve my listening skills, but sometimes I have problems with "they're" and "there". I have to stop and thinking on the context, usually is easy but could be tricky for a non-native speaker. =)
LOL this is a traditional Chinese food. in China，it is called chunjuan(春卷 spring rolls ) that means people will make the food in the spring by the potherb . i love it
Hello Rachel! Do you have any pronunciation video on how to pronounce the word "ain't"? Thank you so much, I'm really improving my english with your help.
Hello,Rachel! I very very like your videoes,thank you to help me !Can I ask you this by definition “keep this " how reduced ? again thank you very much!
Rachel, I have a question about that food. I never saw like this before. They were wrapping and I guess it would be sunk into hot water or something. I got almost everything, just missed what food is that and what is that thing they were using to wrap up. Ahhh...I learned what I can say at restaurants when they ask if I need something else. So I can say "I'm all set" :-D Thank you all!!!
Excelente teacher porque es nativa, pero que bueno sería que hubiesen subtítulos para los hispanos, pues entiendo que su enseñanza es para hispanos. ¡ Por favor !
Food for thought: the clitic "s" in she's and he's aren't actually voiced... They are distinguishable from the "s" in it's, but why? Complicated but interesting and worth exploring because of how confusing it can be for non-native learners. I like your video though! It shows real usage which is awesome and commendable!
me too, the way you teach is very easy to learn. with the reduction, i can hear english better, thank you. and i'm vietnamese, so can i make friend with Ha Quyen on facebook now? i want her to help me on english. please tell me soon

Reduction and rhythm/stress make up the character of American English! Certainly more important than any individual sound.
You are a great teacher. Now I can understand the native speakers much better. Thanks a lot.
Glad to hear that Juri!
