Thanks for this lesson, Sam. I need this kind of material more. This is a fun fact that English must be understood how it is used in formal conversation and in everyday conversation by native speakers.
I kept looking for the “brackets” and ended up laughing at myself when I realized you meant parentheses, haha. The mind and its games… I do drop the H anywhere I can and even though I didn’t in its initial position as in HE, now I will. Makes my life easier. Lol
Haha brilliant! No, don't drop them in initial position! 😱😜 To be completely honest, I know it happens in British as it's part of how some regional accents work, but I genuinely don't think it happens in American. Something for you to investigate
That's great to hear, Jose! Thank you for saying that 🤩 Careful, we say: -I've spent months searching for THE SPECIFIC PRONUNCIATION OF THESE WORDS or, depending on what you want to say, THE PRONUNCIATION OF THESE SPECIFIC WORDS -MANY thanks. VERY is only used with adjectives and adverbs 💪
I would say that's the normal process of getting used to the language. When I lived in Germany and spoke German all the time, the first weeks I noticed my throat hurt because of some different sounds that German has but English doesn't. It was basically like working out different muscles and parts of my mouth. I took it as a positive sign because it meant that I was speaking a lot of German and I was speaking well as I was pronouncing correctly those sounds that don't belong to English. So as inconclusive as my advice may be, I would simply say to trust that the more you get used to speaking English, the less your mouth and throat will hurt 💪
Hi, Sam. Thanks for the video, it was very useful. Why would you never say he with h in the question - where does he live? Is there some rule or something?
I'm really glad you liked it! I wouldn't say /h/ because it's heavy in a question and removing it makes the whole sentence roll off your tongue much more easily. But you can keep it if you want 😉
It's because BE is insignificant and doesn't really mean or add anything. I have a whole video on it here in case you are interested 😊 ua-cam.com/video/su6ZZ7Djq88/v-deo.html
DO YOU ALREADY USE WEAK FORMS OF OBJECT PRONOUNS? DO YOU DROP THE /h/? 😉
Yes, I do and Yes, I do🙂 That said, I actually, sort of, play with them too. For instance, I say "tell er /tell im" and "about er/ im" quite often
@@thecuriousone1790 Great! I'm sure you noticed how much your speech changed when you started incorporating them💪

Thank you for your comment, Lee! There is plenty more to come on the schwa and I hope you find that useful, too 😉
Thanks so much for this. You are just amazing!!!
I would’ve mentioned “our” and “ours” for both weak and strong ones 🙂.
Thanks for your brilliant comment!! You are right: it didn't even cross my mind to mention them. I'll see if I can slip them into another video 💪
@@EnglogicSam thanks!!! 🙂🙂

Excellent content! May I ask for your advice? When I speak English, my throat often gets tired. What can I do? Thanks in advance. 😃

I think I might just survive my Phonetics module with your videos!! 🙂
Awww thanks for saying that! 🤩 Best of luck! 💪😊
@@EnglogicSam The first exam was yesterday so fingers crossed
@@Thatbritaindude I see! Keep me posted! Are you studying linguistics?
@@EnglogicSam English teacher........ my son hijacked my youtube account thats why its a stupid name....I just noticed.
@@Thatbritaindude no problem! 😊
So useful
Thanks!!!🤩
I didn't get why the verb to be will be weak from when it's the only strong one
It's because BE is insignificant and doesn't really mean or add anything. I have a whole video on it here in case you are interested 😊
ua-cam.com/video/su6ZZ7Djq88/v-deo.html
So, in the sententences:
Tell me/them
You need to help me/them
Talk to me/them
are the functions me and them weak?
Exactly 😉
