If you enjoy this video and learned something today, then please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to the channel! Some NOTES about this lesson. 1.) The letter A can actually be pronounced in more than 7 ways, but the 7 ways described in the video are the most common. 2.) The A sound /ɒ/ in words like - What, Want, Wallet, Was is rare (doesn't appear in many words) BUT these words are quite common (we use want and what A LOT in English) 3.) The best way to learn these sounds is to read as much as possible and repeat the sentences in the lesson until you can FEEL which sounds are correct for which words. If you have the time and put in a lot of effort I promise it is MUCH easier than trying to remember all the crazy pronunciation rules in English! Good Luck Wonderful Students and I hope you enjoy the lesson!
I already subscribed because I love your good channel. By the way, I am an English language teacher too and I opened my channel recently. I get inspired by your videos and your excellent explanations. Keep up the hard work ☺️
Hello, teacher. Thanks for this wonderful lesson. I'd like to suggest you to make a lesson about when not to use the verb GET. When it is wrong to use the verb get and which verb should replace it. Thanks in advance.
As a native British English speaking person I sympathise with anyone trying to learn the language! It's so easy when you've been brought up to speak it, as with all languages really. You don't appreciate just how difficult it is until you put yourself in the place of someone else trying to learn it from scratch. I'm currently in the same boat as some of your students, though, as I'm trying to learn Russian at the moment, yikes!
I have been in the United states for almost 30 years. but i never Knew how to pronounce the A sound, today I can finally pronounce the A sound, for the firs time .Thank you very much, Teacher James
Bonjour James, je voulais d’abord te remercier pour ta pédagogie qui est excellente. Tu sais te mettre au niveau des débutants, tu prononces très bien et de plus, parfois tu nous expliques des mots qu’on ne pourrait pas comprendre. Tu es un professeur passionné et tu nous donnes confiance par ta motivation qui est contagieuse et tu t’ajustes à nous afin que ce soit une expérience enrichissante et tu y réussis très bien. J’apprécie la façon dont tu abordes les lettres de l’alphabet en nous expliquant les différents sons par des exemples, c’est concret et tellement enrichissant. De plus, comme je suis visuelle, ta clarté, ta spontanéité et ton non verbal m’aide beaucoup à plus comprendre. Pouvez-vous me dire si le fait d’apprendre à diviser les syllables en anglais, peut nous aider pour la prononciation? Je vous remercie beaucoup et au nom de tous ceux et celles qui ne te le disent pas, tu es le professeur qu’on rêve tous d’avoir puisque ton énergie, ta façon de transmettre tes connaissances est unique et est le moteur nécessaire pour progresser malgré les difficultés rencontrés parce que ce que tu dégages nous donnes confiance. Merci beaucoup!
Very, very, very grateful 🙏, blessed to have been thought by English, American, Australians,Polish,Scottish, I'm home teacher now after public services. You're reviving old memories of my English teacher. Lesley Kinnersley from England.
I can’t wait to learn other letters. Thank you very much for these precious lessons! Your teaching is clear, to the point. Now I don’t need do a lengthy research to find out how many ways a letter A can be pronounced. All sounds of letter are demonstrated clearly in this clip. Having IPA simples in your lesson helps ESL learners greatly. Again, I am grateful for your works.
You are very welcome and thank you for your kind comment. I’m really glad you find the lesson so helpful and clear. I hope my future lessons continue to be useful for you! More coming soon!
@@EasyENGLISHwithJames Mr James you are one othe best teacher You have been flattered your good way way of teaching So I would like to join your online teaching ' I like to get more fetai That is my email
Dear teacher James. It's the fantastic lesson which I have never learned before. You gave many special examples in which the learner must remember. Thank you for your lesson. Best regards
Young Man, I enjoyed the way you explained the content of your lesson clearly and I am optimistic that by the end of this series A to Z students would be able to understand sound and letter relation in English in addition to IPA and of course British and American English. May God bless you keep on going a bright future is ahead of you both here and there.
Hi teacher, I just found your channel for a short time ago but my feeling is connected with you! I wake up at 5 a.m. and i have to get up to take notes prounciation A..quickly..Thanks so much Teacher..Rose from U.S.A.
You’re welcome Rose! I’m glad you like the videos and I hope they can help you to improve your pronunciation! 5am is super early to wake up! Hope you have a good sleep! 😴 😃
Thank you so much for your lesson. I always mispronounce these words: automatically, typically,basically, separately. 🙏🙏🙏thanks I am really appreciate your work
I'm from Bangladesh.I like your every classes.You are a very 👍 good trainer in the world's.You are my favourite teacher in the world's.Your pronunciations all the best to me.I followed every time.👍👍💕💕
Boundaries is a good one! As I mention, Silent A is most common in words that end in ly such as…. artistically, logically, musically, romantically, stoically etc etc
Teacher James, thank you for your videos lessons. It’s very helpful and wonderful. If not bother you, could you give me this PowerPoint of pronunciation lessons. Thank you so much and with gratitude
This is an absolutely fantastic explanation !!! You are a true master and a gifted teacher, thank you so much ... You can't even imagine how difficult it is to understand and pronounce it for those who have the letter "A" and the sound is only "A"
Thank you very much for your kind words! I understand how difficult English pronunciation can be but I promise, the more you practice, the easier it will become. Try to repeat the sentences as often as possible and soon you will begin to “feel” the correct pronunciation most of the time. Good luck and have a great day! 👍
I am an English teacher in my country, but even so I have got a big benefit from the first lecture, because you have really the full knowledge, the excellent way to explain each sound in addition by giving these fantastic sentences.
Thanks a lot. Your video is very useful to me. Although English grammar seems to me much simpler than Spanish, English pronunciation and spelling are very complicated. These have been a real headache for me. As native Spanish speakers, it hurts us a lot not to be able to pronounce correctly and not to hear the sounds in conversations. I honestly prefer to study other languages like German for this reason alone. However, English is the most important international language around the world. Thank you very very much!
Thật vui khi gặp được những video của thầy. Rất muốn giao tiếp được bằng tiếng anh nhưng 30 năm nay vẫn không thể nào chinh phục được mong muốn ây. Nhưng từ giờ sẽ cố gắng học theo nhiwngx video của thầy. Hi vọng trong tương lai sẽ hiểu hết từng từ từng chữ thầy nói trong video❤. Thanks very much teacher ❤
hello teacher 🙏 i'm very lucky to have good teacher like you. well & clear you explanation , i think it's good to make a (NOTE) worksheet about ur (SHORT notes) technics for sounds in every video, hope you Understand. Thank you sir
your lesson is clear, and easy to practice, thank you so much teacher, I feel better now when I'm trying to pronounce like native speaker does. before I always get confused of pronouncing, because other teacher made it misterious.
I'm Polish and I love the English pronunciation. I hope that I will be able to speak British English without my Polish accent in the future. I would also like to learn some new words and practice grammar. You really help me. Greetings from Wrocław, Poland
Yeah, sir you're an amazing, great, splendid, wonderful and interesting teacher and your way of teaching is really great and understandable, I subscribed your channel it's really helpful
Wow, how fascinating! I had no idea that the letter 'a' in English had various sounds like the ones presented in this video. It's curious and amusing. In my language (Spanish), the letter 'a' only has one sound, the open central unrounded vowel sound [ä], which is unique to Spanish and is the one that identifies a regular Spanish speaker without any prior knowledge of linguistics. 😊
Alright Am new subscriber and you're doing great. So I hope you would do all the 26 letters like this simple pronounced. Thank you and still we're sticking with U all the time.
Hey, for the data vs data section, just my 2 cents, I think it really depends on the context of the conversation because for myself I actually use both pronunciations. Such as "My mobile data is limited" that is pronounced "dae-ta", and "The data has shown that B is more popular than A", data is pronounced "dar-ta".
I remember my sophomore highschool English teacher to you sir 😮🙂 He was also as clear like that the way he explained us the lesson during our English class before (we follow American English here by the way) How nostalgic 😊 I only happen to discover this video here because of my curiousity about the British English.
