    GET TO KNOW YOUR TEACHER LIZ
    ===============================================
    NAME:- Elizabeth (Liz)
    WHAT ARE YOUR QUALIFICATIONS? - I am a Cambridge CELTA and the more advanced DELTA qualified English Teacher. I also trained in Speech & Drama at RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts) and LAMDA (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Arts).
    I am also a featured author on Macmillan Dictionary's One Stop English's website. www.onestopenglish.com/commun...
    WHERE DO YOU LIVE? - England (UK)
    HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN 5 WORDS? - ‘Outwardly innocent, but inwardly knowing’.
    WHERE IS THE MOST INTERESTING PLACE YOU'VE TAUGHT? - That would be a one-to-one in a young Italian man’s flat in southern Italy. When he invited me to teach him at his home, I stupidly thought that Mamma would be there cooking the lunch, but no, it was a bachelor pad and no sign of Mamma! I eventually left having learned more about Italian customs than he had learned English!
    BEST TEACHING MOMENT? - One of my greatest achievement was when a couple of very naughty teenage Belgian students were sent here to England to learn English. They had been expelled from several schools in their own country and this was their last chance to prove themselves. After a few months of playing around in different levels, and coming close to being expelled again, they eventually ended up in my FCE class. Now they had two chances - respect their teacher and learn something or go back to Belgium. Well, they did go back to Belgium but not before they had passed their FCE! They became my two favourite students of all time. I love a challenge!
    HOW MANY STUDENTS HAVE YOU TAUGHT? Over 10 thousand
    WHAT'S YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING TEACHER MOMENT? - It happened during a DELTA observed lesson. One of my students happened to suffer from Tourette’s syndrome. Of course, I had no reason to worry, I had mentioned the fact in my lesson plan, and anyway, this student had never caused a problem before. However, today was different. Very different. Upon eliciting the required information from him - not wanting to leave him out - instead of answering the question in his usual fashion, he suddenly exhumed a torrent of swear words from somewhere deep within himself. After this cathartic experience he looked very pleased with himself but, unfortunately, this was not really the answer I was looking for. Everything went quiet, I looked over at the examiner who looked rather shocked. It certainly wasn’t your run-of-the-mill DELTA exam! BUT I passed!

  • @WILSON-sd8pc
    @WILSON-sd8pc 9 місяців тому

    Hi! teacher.
    U = /əs/ - Ambitious /æmˈbɪʃ.əs/, Delicious /dɪˈlɪʃ.əs/, Gracious /ˈɡreɪ.ʃəs/, Mysterious /mɪˈstɪə.ri.əs/...
    The U = /əs/ can also be represented by a rare other spelling "EOUS" as in righteous /ˈraɪ.tʃəs/.
    This your class shows us like spelling and phonetics are many inconsistent in the English language.
    A same spelling can represent many different phonemes and a same phoneme ( as in the sound /ɜː/ for example) can be represented by many different spellings .
    Studying inglish pronunciation and listening by music or watching movies doesn't work well, for a good accent, of course.
    It is like you fix a broken radio without an electronics´s basic knowing of it.
    Thank you teacher.
    Let's study the (RP) and sorry for any spelling mistakes. Love and peace.

    • @EnglishwithLiz
      @EnglishwithLiz  Місяць тому

      Most U sounds are similar, but there is a greater difference between the length of vowel sounds, with British English being pronounced significantly longer than American. Some of this is owing to the additional pronunciation of ‘r’ in many American vowel sounds. Love ❤️ & 🕊️Peace. Liz

  • @7MPhonemicEnglish
    @7MPhonemicEnglish 9 місяців тому

    If you assign a character to every accent variation of vowel, you'll end up with 256 vowels. The IPA vowel chart is headed there. ɔ,o̞ & o are all much too close to one another to have in one language. You have to draw the line and say, 'These are the official vowel sounds and everything else is accent that you layer on top. When you write, pick the nearest official vowel sound.

    It was my assumption that schwa was the 'u' in mud. If it's IPA /ʌ/ then what's /ə/ all about? We don't have a schwa sound in General American English if the 'u' in 'mud' is an /ʌ/.
