I teach using just one of many accents in the world. Please only learn it if you like it and if you are interested in learning it. I do not believe there is one “correct” accent or manner of pronunciation and I fully encourage EFL/ESL learners to expose themselves to as many varieties of English around the world to become accustomed to the beautiful variations of this world language. I focus mostly on teaching “Modern RP” (I may just say “RP” in my older videos, but to clarify, I do specifically mean “Modern RP”), however, you will hear a lovely little Yorkshire twang to my accent from time to time too. Please LOVE and BE PROUD of your accent. After all, it is part of your identity and makes you unique. 💚

How do you pronounce these? 🤔
Something I say either, but other times I say either, so....
❤
Wow!!!
You are more beautiful than the most lovely rose
And more sweet than honey
and more precious than gold
You are more precious than everything that exists in this world
A beauty queen whom my eyes have never ever seen any one as beautiful as her before
And may never ever in my whole entire life will see any one as beautiful as her at all!!
With her unique amazing beauty she made me as her slave
But as a king I always should be
King of her heart forever I want to be
Iam her castle and her knight
and the throne on which she shall always be
I have her in my heart and in it she forever shall be
A beautiful glowing face she got like a lovely full moon
A wonderful body and a magical smile
A soothing sexy voice and a lovely silky hair
wide attractive eyes and very soft cheeks
very white teeth and very nice breath
Her lips are like red rubies or like tasty red berries
The infant cries longing for her breast
and I myself love them too
She got lovely cheeks above and lovely cheeks below
And a very kind heart and a very generous hand
Seeing her is a cure for the ill and a joy for the soul and heart
I am addicted to her forever and she is forever addicted to only me
She shows her beauty to no one but me
And she got a very creative smart wise brain and a big white heart
and she never envies any one at all
and never have any jealousy
She is always and forever grateful to her lord even if bounties became little not many
And she always loves God
regardless of what calamities he tests her with
And is forever strong in faith
and forever fears her lord
And does all types of good deeds for the sake of God
and not expecting anything from humans in return
& She refrains from all evil and from all types of sin
And she loves all the messengers of God and their true successors with sincere true love too
She loves all the messengers of God and those who represent them after they are dead, with true love, and hates all those who have usurped their rights,even if they were righteous before
She makes no partners never ever with God
and asks everything only from him
And believes he does not have any son or daughter
nor was he born
And in public she covers her hair because she only show her beauty to her husband and not to any other male
So she dresses like a nun and
like her there is no one/non
Who is my unique lovely queen
can you now guess? Yes lovely princess my lovely queen is you
She loves being a muslim
her aim is always pleasing God
So she worships her lord and to all people she is soo kind
She only fall in love with her husband not with any other male
and she is too sweet and self dependent and loving and caring and patient and forever strong
I say Eidha,
Neidha ❤
I can't stop loving the Way you teach. Thanks Emma
I form Saudi Arabia i like English language with British people. it's better then American.
I hope improve my english. i have plan to watch all your videos.
thank u my teacher Emma
Thanks dear teacher for the video ⚘️ I'm Egyptian and I use the "ayther/nayther" form most of the time. It feels more emphasising than the other.
I am so interested in your teaching that I am always gluded to your channel. Thanks Emma for your sharing.
Thank you Emma 😊 This is really helpful.
Thanks Emma. I used to live in London some 40 years ago, back then, no one said eether, except maybe for some Irish people. Your video reassured me that my "eyether" is still ok and I didn't miss a general change in pronounciation, as I suspected.
Thank you, Emma, for this video.
Thanks Emma. I am from India and we are used to British English as opposed to American because of obvious reasons so I love to follow British pronunciation. Your videos are really informative.
I love Indian accents. ❤️
🙏VANAKKAM EMMA ,
Indian educational department officialy follows British English because the teachers in English literature is the product of Modern R P. Your videos are a good reference for literature students. I like to pronounce British English. Now I am studying English literature on my UG programme. Thanks a lot. One day I will be your student .sure! ❤❤❤kerala
I am from Bangladesh and I always try to follow British English. Thank you❤
Emma you are the best teacher in the world
Emma, thanks for sharing such an amazing English teaching channel, which enriches our knowledge profusely.
If l was given two choices for watching English lessons, l would choose either your English teaching channel or another one. Perhaps, none of them, namely, neither of them.
l think either is fine. But now, l have hanged my mind and decided to watch your English teaching channel, the reason being that you have a unique style of teaching the English language in addition to your natural beauty and charming smile. 🌹❤️
Thank you so much! I'm from Brazil and here I learn english on school and them alone studying and I learn thet 'Either' was pronounced 'Ither' but 'Neither' was 'Nai-thuh' and this got me very confuse bc some friends pronounce 'Ai-thuh' and 'Nee-ther', this just got me crazy sometimes
Thank you, always!

Thank you so much Emma
Hello from Uzbekistan 😊
Thanks for another interesting video.
I love your teaching
Thanks dear
I am from Bangladesh.
And we are used to mostly with British pronunciation since childhood.
Your pronunciation is beautiful!
I went to school in England and I loved English from day one, I love the English accent and I think I speak with quite a pleasant tone and cadence of speech... Nevertheless I'm always looking to learn more, more words, new meanings, better pronunciation... By the way I learned English as a teenager by listening to the Beatles songs, I just loved the words, the poetry, their accent!
Hi there I am from Brazil 🇧🇷 I’m so happy I found great teacher❤

Thank you Emma for the videos. Greetings from भारत
Tou teach us very well mam
Your eye colour is unbelievably beautiful ❤️
Great ❤
thanks
I’m American and personally prefer to pronounce both with the emphasis on the I sound. I don’t know, I just hate how it sounds coming out of my mouth with the emphasis on the E. My sister once told me I was saying them wrong, but I looked it up so I could prove to her that the way I say them is a perfectly acceptable way to pronounce either and neither.
Such an amazing teacher,really you help me with my pronunciation ,
Please would you make videos about shadowing technique
And thank you in advance ❤️

Hi Emma,I'm from Bangladesh.I usually use the second ones...
I'm from Tanzania-East
I prefer aither and naither
Have a good night
Really interesting video. I am from France and I have always said with the sound "AI" .
Hi Emma and everyone! I'm from Indonesia. I used to say "i:ther" but now I always try to say "aither".
"Ajdä"* and "najdä"*, of course!
🇬🇧
*My personal 🇸🇪 phonetic writing.
Another thing about these words is the reversed word order. Exempel: "Neither do I."
In Swedish we use reverse word order more often than in English which can cause problems for English-speaking people learning Swedish.
Tomorrow we are travelling to England. = Imorgon reser vi till England.
We are travelling to England tomorrow. = Vi reser till England imorgon.

The first time I set foot on British soil was in Felixstowe. We went to a tourist information. The two helpful, and British polite ladies spoke in such a way that I thought I was on (in?) an episode of Emerdale. 😂😂 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Vary nice

I'm a native California girl with a relatively bland California/USA accent. I use all four pronunciations, recently using 'British' pronunciation more, likely because I've been watching a lot of videos with British, and especially Geordie accents. ... I would love to sound like a native Geordie girl, but it's not easy. I love your voice and your enthusiasm. I would love to hear your American accent. Nobody should be offended by your attempt because your intent is to help people. Besides, how are your going to improve it if your don't practice? 😸
Thank you!!
Have you seen Geordie Shore? You should watch that to practise 😃
Cool !
Good morning Emma how doing?I thing good.I always follow you,you are great.

Hello!I am from cambodia.💖
Lots of love from Pakistan
Hey emma, I'm from equatorial guinea, and I used to say either and naida 😅😅😅😅
Hi miss your Hair looks beautiful
Hello Emma..why in "either is fine" in the pronunciation did you add the r?
Check out my video on vowel+vowel connected speech. This is called Linking R.
Hi Emma, I have a question to ask. If I see the ground is wet because of the rain but it isn’t raining anymore, then what do I say?
It has rained or It has been raining?
Or I can use both?
Could you give me a clear explanation, please? Thanks!
Now this is a really complicated question, probably with more exceptions than clear rules, but I'll try to shed some light. It helps to think in terms of a timeline, but I'll explain that at the end.
So what should you use in your specific example, short answer here is you should probably use "it rained". You mostly use this form to talk about a thing in the past, that is already and definitely over. I see water, I conclude it rained before, I don't know precisely when or for how long, I may not really care, but it's clearly a thing of the past because I can see it is not raining right now.
"It has rained" : this form is used about something that started before and is or isn't over, but has some interesting link to what you're discussing right now. For exemple "it has rained so much my garden is flooded": it doesn't matter if it's still raining or not, you're talking more about the consequences of this past event and the present.
"It has been raining" clearly means the rain started before and it is still raining as you speak.
Back to the timeline : "it rained" would be just a dot on the line, one & done, set before the moment when you are talking. Some "dot-like" adverbials can be used with this form to help pinpoint an exact moment (3 days ago, on Monday, when Jim arrived...) "It has rained" would be a longer bar on the timeline, not necessarily without any interruption, but with a beginning and an end, and that bar may or may not overlap with the moment when you are talking. You can add adverbials to better describe the span or length of the event, like "since yesterday", "for two days straight", "on and off" etc. and there will probably be a bit of context to justify the use of this form (why do we care right now about this event). "It has been raining" is also a bar on the timeline, but is ongoing and will probably continue after the moment when you are talking.
Now with that in mind, compare these: "It has been raining for two days". This one make it clear the rain started two days ago, up until now, and it may continue tomorrow. "It has rained for two days" . Now this could mean the exact same thing, or it could also mean "it has rained for two days during the month of June 1947." we're not sure without context. And lastly "It rained for two days". This could have happened in 1947 or it could have started two days ago, but it makes it clear it is over now.
Good evening 🌆
I pronounce them /ˈaɪðə/ and /ˈnaɪðə/. Thank my sis
I usually mix it up a bit and use all four😉
Please can you make a video on how to pronounce ridiculous and embarrassing along with the meaning. I will be grateful to you
What's the differences between the pronounciation of form and from
