Feel free to add your questions down below. I do have HUNDREDS of requests, but I usually shoot just a few videos a month...so you MIGHT get lucky!
I make videos for EFL/ESL students. I'm from the US and my teaching focuses on American pronunciation and American culture. I hope my videos help you out^^ I love constructive criticism, but keep it nice!
you are a god-like teacher,i learn with you in 5 minutes more than in 11 years of school
So much clear your voice which helped me a lot to understand the pronunciation.
Thank you so much. For me, a Brazilian living in US this is so hard to speak... but now after your video I can do it.
The most understandable of the videos I have ever seen on this subject
I recovered my youtube account just to say THANK YOU.
You're brilliant. Thank you for existing.
This is the best video to learn year and ear sounds!!!!
Finally I got to be able to pronounce them. Thank you so much. You are the best 👍👍

And as always: comprehensive, entertaining, and most of all easy to follow.

I have no problem with saying Ear or Year seperately. However, I can't hear the difference when it is a part of the other word syllables. For example, I should say "k+year" for CURE but if I say "k+ear", it sounds to same to me too. I just wish coachshanesesl would see and read this comment.
Thank you.
Esse som é um grande problema para nós brasileiros, parabéns pelo seu trabalho!:)
HE'S THE BEST
You're great! Thanks
Shane, How about adding an example of "every year" ?
Good job
you are a great comedian.
Thanks
Отличное объяснения!!!
Excellent! Thank you!

Hi. Instead of saying great year separately, can we say gradier? That was a greydear in my life.
Cara que legal meu, muito bom o seu trabalho assisti dois videos seu e já me inscrevi, parabéns continue com esse trabalho incrível !!!
Abraços e até mais.

Harder
More hard nao se usa, é hardest.
Hello coach,
I live in UK, and I have problem with pronouncing the word 'ill' , it sounds like 'you', especially in the word 'illness'. Can you help me with it, please?
Thanks
I can clearly hear the difference, but reproducing the sound is a totally different ball game. I'll have to work harder on that!
qundo vou aprender a falar esta palavra
Great! Thank you! What about the word "you"? In a normal linked speech.... does the "y" sound like "ee"? I always have been using the "ee" sound in "you", it's ok?
Rafael Rodriguez I teach that "you" has three common pronunciations:
yoo
yah
y'
"yee" would be Old English, or perhaps it is common in countries that do not speak American English!
I can't never get it. :(
Coach Shane, how canna learn american pronunciation with you online if i live in russia, u provide such service? where can i get to know details?
Pavel Soshnikov Hi Pavel! I have two online courses--one that focuses on pronunciation and listening skills, the other focuses on pronunciation and speaking skills. The listening class (DDM) has LIVE classes twice a month where you can get personal coaching from me. My speaking class, PIRF, is more self-study. You can get more information on DDM here: dailydictation.blogspot.com
You can get more information on PIRF here: letsmasterenglish.leadpages.net/pirf/
Let me know if you have any questions^^
Hello Coach, Hopefully this might be a next video topic. I'm A well over 16 years of age, but I never learned how to properly pronounce all of my r's when I was younger. I've practice and practiced but just couldn't seem to do it right. My friends have told me that maybe because my jaws start to align and voice develops in between my years of 12-14, so being 16 rn, my vocals have already adapted to how they are, that it's difficult to change it now. I mostly have trouble with these three sounds air, ere, er (like her). not to mention these words: stretch and world. The r just seems like a really uncomfortable sound to make./ Soumetimes my cheek muscles start to hurt. I've mention too much, but my question I ask is as a 16 y.o how can I develop the skill to pronounce my r's without doing some sort of plastic surgery.
I agree with the other people, you're brilliant :)
***** kkkkk You're too kind!
