    I actually love it to be here listening to Rachel lessons for the improvement of English Skills. Once again Rachel you’re one of the most amazing and extraordinary teacher I’ve ever seen. But what I found so interesting in the process of improving oneself is to Know Way More Than You Are Saying and also To Just Speak It Out The Way You Can Say It. So I think those are the basic ways to look towards it.

    The other thing that may be holding some students back is that they may have never taken English courses before or had lesser opportunites than the other students in their countries. Some foreign students may have gone to expensive private school where they may have taken some basic English lessons, and for others, they may come from rural towns where English was never taught. That is what makes a huge difference too.

    I remember that you have a video where you explain why some dictionaries show commas within the IPA of some words and you say that it is because they are showing the stress through those commas so I would like to know which video it is to see it again because I want to know how I can understand the stress of words by looking at the IPA and I think that you were using the Cambridge English dictionary to show that because that's one that has those commas. Would you or Rachel's if you get to see this comment tell me which video it is?
