The best teacher ever! Always explains slowly, clearly, comprehensibly. And her voice soothes and makes you listen to her again and again. Thank you for your lessons.
Gill, you are not only the best teacher/educator on UA-cam or any social media platform, you are a complete treasure! We are so incredibly fortunate to have someone like you to educate everyone out there, and the beautiful thing is that it is free! God bless you Gill, I absolutely love everything about your lessons, so relaxing, informative, helpful, interesting and inspiring. Take care and best regards, Rob.
A true English teacher ever! She's amazing and she teaches with her great heart. Impossible not to understand her lessons. Thanks a lot for your dedication to teaching us. God bless you richly.
I'm so relieved 😅 I noticed those glottal stops a lot recently in movies and videos, and I don't like them. German being my first language, I should be used to glottal stops 🤣 but I love British pronunciation just because it's clear AND smooth.
What an outstanding lesson! Clear, engaging and to the point. Your voice is perfect too. I guess you were born to teach. Thank you for sharing such talent. Cheers from Argentina.
Thank you for your beautiful pronunciation of consonant "t". I found the beauty of t-sound in the English language. From now on I will stop using the glottal stop.
I fully agree, it souns better with the t sound, but it is so common especially in some movies and its good to train our ears and try to understand the speaches with glottal sounds. Thank you for your advice always preciouse.
Your accent is an extra lesson, and I love it. I usually use the glotal stop with "th"... it is very American and I like it too. You look adorable in that colour...you are adorable. Best wishes.
What an amazing teacher! I can hear almost every single word she said. She really has passion on teaching and a simple way of illustration for explaining things. Thank you Ms. Gill.❤
It’s so awesome to see this! I told my buddy a long time ago he’d get a good shoulder punch every time he did that dumb glottal stop. lol, he figured it out and sounds like a normal human now. Glad you’re encouraging proper pronunciation. We need to combat this weird epidemic especially in the US!! 🤣
Sorry (not really) to complicate things but can I add something from my part of the country - Durham. Up here and in fact all over Durham, Tyne & Wear and Northumberland we have a unique way of pronouncing this type of 't' sound. We also use a glottal stop but not instead of the 't' sound like for example Londoners but we keep the 't' and produce a glottal stop simultaneously with it! We do exactly the same with 'p' and 'k' sounds. If you want to know if somebody is from the north east just ask them to say 'later', 'happy' and 'lucky' and you'll see. It's what most people call the 'Geordie' accent. It's probably not wise to try to imitate it unless you're going to live here but it's interesting to hear.
Me, from Brazil, reading that: 🤯😰😭😓☠️ haha, but now seriously, is there any video on UA-cam of someone from there saying those words?? I'd really love to listen to it 😂
ooh what a lesson ! look . This woman is a teacher. but she is not an earth human like us ,rather she came down from the moon . she is a treasure . The lovely.the beautiful. the neat Gill. God bless you ma'my ❤❤
Thank you very much. I am doing coaching in voiceover and they told me that I do a lot of glottal stops and I wasn't fully 100% sure what they meant even after they explained it to me. These examples have helped me mentally visualize what it means and this will help me with not doing that.
Oh! It would be a dream if all natives spoke like you! Your English is a marvelous! Unfortenutely you can rarely here such beatiful English even in news.
Great video. Your unvarnished style make things refreshing for viewers. You're a like sanctuary for those who are fed up with the flying animations and sound effects by other youtubers. I could watch your videos on end just to enjoy your soothing voice and peaceful delivery. Thank you Gill! (Hello from Hong Kong)
I always enjoy your lessons, they are very useful and from my view as a non native speaker that it is easier understand words with T sound rather than without it
Потрясающие уроки!!! Спасибо Вам!!! Посмотрю все. Очень понравился оранжевый фломастер, в тон к шарфику. Теперь я точно знаю, что преподавала всё верно. Объясняла детишкам (то, что могла) также подробно, как и Вы. Сейчас возвращаюсь к языку и дабы не делать здесь ошибок - пишу по-русски.
But americans don't pronounces T letter in some words, for example: Atlantic, Latin, wanted, international, internet, etc. Is very similar to phenomenal of glottal stop. I'm not native speaker english and this is so hard for listening, when you don't pronounce "T" or when Yes.
Replacing the hard "t" sound with a glottal stop before vowels has actually become a trend in the U.S. lately, too. You can hear interviewers and weather people doing it on t.v., not only at the ends of words but in the middle of them, too. I wonder how long it will take for this fashion to be replaced by some other strange pronunciation trend. What will the next one be?
@@alikacerto2280 Listen to the podcast "National Park After Dark". One girl on that podcast consistently says "moun'ain" for "mountain". Drives me bonkers every time.
Thank you Gill, I had listened that kind of pronunciation but I couldn't being able to understand so good, I thought I was a bad listener, now I understand so clearly what the problem was!!!
I’m a Brit that’s lived abroad for many years and I love the glottal stop. The glottal stop is the only feature of my accent that hasn’t softened to global/American English over the years. I suppose it’s a part of my identity 😅
Without the t is like casual English but in an interview or formal job, formal English is used. I suppose is better to adapt to our surrounded just to blend in. British Standard English is phonetically beautiful!.
My dearest Teacher! You are the Best!!! With all My respects Congratulations!!! Fantástic Lessons!!! I hope, People, could learn more with you're System!!!
I love the glottal T... Maybe because it remains me of the years I lived in London 😀 I come from Madrid, Spain, so, as you can imagine, I'd better try to speak RP English than the glottal T. Pity, though 🤗 Thank you very much for the lesson.
Dear Gill, this was a fun lesson!. My first language is not English but when I use it, I do have an American pronounciaton so I found it quite funny to stress the "t" because we don't do it. Like in "a lot of work".. that goes more like "alorofwork" (not exactly but you get the idea).😅 Or "That is true" that becomes "Datstru"😅
Here in America, I hear it a lot in the speech of the “younger generation.” I first noticed Candace Owens dropping the “t” sound in words like “important.” Not sure if I’m ok with that…sounds too “trendy.”
I think it's very important lesson for learners of English- it's really problematic even for intermediate learners. Based on my own personal experience, I found it very difficult when I arrived in London after graduating in English. It took me a while to figure out the problem and decide when or when not to use a glotal stop.
When it doubt, just don't use a glottal stop. You are perfectly understandable without using glottal stops and it will just make your accent sound a little more American, since most American accents don't use glottal stops very often.
Good day, dear teacher! With mega interest I watch your video every month! They all such interesting and helpful!!! Big thanks for them from Russia, Yekaterinburg. Waiting for new meet in video!!! Have a good mood and brilliance health!!!
Ank you very much for this vidoe. I recently heard about something called svarabhakti voule and the person mentioned the glottal stop. I initially thought it was the extra "G" or the hard "G" some people incert into words like ring-guh-ing/ringing.
At the end of the day, it's just a feature of certain accents. I think the diversity of accents and dialects should be celebrated. But I understand it must take some getting used to for non-native speakers, so it's good to be aware of
I understand. I have heard some people say that glottal stops hurt their throat, but as someone from the North East, it is literally a historic thing and is natural at this point. I only pronounce Ts properly if they are at the start of words or in certain emphasized syllables in certain words. Overall, nice advice though!
The glottal stop is a proper phoneme used in a wide variety of dialects. It is not used on a whim or in order to „save time pronouncing the T”, neither is it a sign of laziness 😊

Thank you for saying that! As a non-native speaker, I dislike the glottal T sound, it reduces all the beauty of a true British accent.
i can't be agree. it's also rather beautiful so we probably shouldn't be this categorical 🤷♀️
@@Anyasaidso it's my opinion, you have your own.
I agree. The glottal T sounds low-education.
Personally I love it.
How is this for you to decide? Ima go tell my family to stop using it cause Christina the-non-native speaker doesn't like it😁🤣

@@bozzskaggs112 there's no such thing as correct english

Here in the US, we often use the "D" sound in place of the "T" sound. We don't really use the glottle stop.
actually the american pronunciation is full of glotal stops, but the use it before a consonant sound or at the end of a word

I love the global stop. As a German it took me years to master it. To me it is the essence of having a crisp British accent.
True. If you don't use glottal stops you will sound more American.
