As a native American English speaker, I never realized how complex the language truly is, Thank you Rachel.
I"m an English language teacher and I spend most of free time watching English language learning videos, but if I want something concerning pronunciation I look for your videos because you do the job as it is. All ESL and EFL communities are grateful for your invaluable information. we're waiting for more of your creativity.
The best english explanation that I seen ever before. Many details. Excellent teaching method. Congratulations, Rachel. I wanna improve my english. I hope to do it soon.
+William Willie Watson Thank you!
I'm totally agree with you!
I have studied english for 4 years in Rio, Brazil. But in just 6 minutes you helped me a lot improve my english.
Thank you so much.
This was the first video that I saw and I really loved it. Rachel your pronunciation is so perfect, beyond the lyrics that help a lot.
OMG! Teacher you're right, I have been watching tv shows and I've heard this!! it's so interesting, THANKS I can't express how happy I am! I learn a lot from you!
for me there is not another teacher better than you in the entire word your way teaching is unique i love you god bless you.....
Stressed it would be [hæd], unstressed [həd] or [əd]. Also the D would be a stop, most likely, if the next word began with a consonant.
Teaching english was a kind of sacrifice that we must appreciate to learn for us..thank you and Godbless

Your videos are very important for us, you teach us how to sound like a native when speaking, improving our conversation.
Wow, no wonder the Vietnamese at work don't understand me. I reduce everything. I say something like "I told him" reduced and they are staring at me wondering what a "toldim" is. I'm glad I saw this. I'm "gladisawis". I actually clicked the link because your face is so sweet. Gladisawit too. Thanks for making me realize.

Happy to hear that Ghanshyam!
No tienes idea cuanto me ayudas, muchas gracias!. You have no idea how much you help me, thank you so much!
You don't have to -- but native speakers do it a lot, and it will help smooth out your speech.
Hi Rachel, I loved your tips and the way you teach. Congrats from Brazil.
Thank you Dani!
I will try to show them on my ipod. the shop is not really equipped for everyone to do such things. We mainly talk to each other with minimal understanding and then laugh about it. Thanks for the smiley face but your actual smile is much better.
many Thank you Rachel
Yes, you could. Be sure to link the 's' sound that ends 'dance' to the schwa of 'has'!
Best,
Rachel
is because "her" is in the group of he, her, his, him ?
Thank you so much, Rachel. I appreciate this video. I hope you always happy and smile everyday.
With love from a Vietnamese student. 😊😙😙😙
@MrCoquino I am glad the videos are helping you. In English, most words without punctuation between will be spoken with no kind of gap between -- continual sound!
I finally understand this rules.!, Thanks Rachel..
You're welcome!
I'm so happy to see this beautiful English pronounciation from our teacher Rachel! I have a lot of favour for you😘😘👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻
thank you so much ! all your videos are so much helpful for me
The recap section is excellent !!!!
Rachel, thank you so much, that is a very useful video, I never had seen it teaching in school during my four years of the study. your channel is the best. Keep it up sharing your videos!
thanks, reduction and linking ... make the difference in speaking
Aprendo mucho con estos vídeos, Gracias! Thanks.
Great video !Since you use it very often could you make a video on pronouncing "notice". It is very different in American English.
Thanks!
love what you are doing! I wish there were many teachers like you
(I am an English teacher..)
Thanks a lot Rachel this is a very helpful video, I've heard this on news, but never the way you have explained it, it was so good. Best regards!
Awesome. Thanks so much. I'm studying english in Seattle and this lesson is really useful, natives use almost always this kind of connected speech. I'm thankful!
***** You're right!! Glad the videos help!
thank u teacher this for all this that you do for us all the years i thank u toomuch
Rachel, thank you very much.
That is a very useful video! Thanks a lot. I have only one question: is reducing words considered an informal way of pronouncing them? Do American native speakers reduce words even when they are talking in very informal situations?
No, it's not just for informal speech. Some reductions go really far, and they sound informal, but I will always point that out when I teach it. Most of them are just the right way to pronounce the words in a sentence, formal situation or not.
Rachel's English Thanks for answering so clearly. Have a good day
Thanks so much for this linking video :) Can I ask one question? Is it fine to remove the /h/ sound in this sentence : "I'm at home."
Then, change /t/ to a flapping d sound when linking?
GRACIAS ERES EXCELENTE, LA MEJOR DEL MUNDO, SALUDOS DEL PERU
I am from Brazil, I watch yours videos, it is fantastics!
Thank you so much for posting this video clip... I've never heard anyone else explaining it so clearly.
You're welcome!
Thank you. u r a great teacher thanks again for helping me.
5:15 what was his name again? is the letter T in ( what ) glottal stop. i think your tongue doesn't touch your upper back teeth. Thank you.
Yes! That is correct - I use a glottat Stop T there!
Excelente! Uma didática muito efetiva! Uma aula curta e com grande conteúdo e aprendizado! A competência faz a diferença! Parabéns, Rachel! (in portuguese)
Iae irmão como tá seu inglês com as aulas dela ?
Thank you Rachel, I found this very helpful on my everyday speech, although I'm not a native speaker of English, I like the way people from the U.S and Canada speak the language, being part of a north american country like mine involves this kind of knowledge and at fist I didn't realize that there were so many z sounds over there, I would've said: Was he there? with no z sound, but now I am quite sure it is with the z sound, wich is hard for me and my Spanish.
Thanks again from México.
very nice,...very educational in short 6 mins. love it!
Rachel, i'm learning english and my english is not good enough to write a proper response, but thank you so much for this video, it helped me a lot! :)
Thanks for you videos I enjoy them and I learn something new every day. Could you explain how to link -ed endings? Like in this case: I started it , I played
You're absolutely amazing.
Really 😘😘😘😘😘😘 for you is my first seance with you. from Morocco 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thanks Younes!
Thank you so much. for great video.
@Charles55661 Hi Charles - thanks for your comment. The reason why I like the videos is because I feel they are a better teaching tool than audio only or a written book. Have you found books to be useful, perhaps as a look-up resource? I hadn't considered before that option, but now you've got me thinking ....
I like your teaching
Thank you King!
This is SOOOO helpful, thank you!
Hi Rachel, I just came across your videos. They´re absolutely revealing to me. I´ve spoken english for years but this area of linking has been one of my weaknesses. I´ve noticed that some words working together such as; "listen to me" and "need to" sound kind of linked. is it true? or is it my percepction. You´ll make my day clearing up this doubt.
Terrific as usual! Thanks Rachel!
Eres la mejor americana explicando los sonidos americanos
You have some great content Rachel. I have a question. Do you think that connected speech would help with reading in order to improve reading comprehension so that the person would develop a rhythm in which they read, like music in order to understand it?
This is such an interesting question, thank you for your comment! When I read, I am definitely connecting words together, taking them in as chunks of meaning rather than one word at a time. So, I would say that for some students, yes, reading with a connected quality in mind may be very useful!
@@rachelsenglish It's crazy because when I use connected speech to practice reading fluently, It seems as if there's a dialogue going on in my head with me and the author, as if we're speaking to one another. I can take a look inside their thoughts, emotions, and how they are by simply taking heed to how they use their words and how they put it together. Since connected speech helps a person speak fluently and help a person understand native speakers, learning the tone of a passage or the authors subtle message becomes even more transparent. It's like I know them personally.
Hey Rachel first of all, i would like to thank you for the video. Secondly i would like to know how to pronounce "Huawei" ? Do we drop "H" and pronounce it as " UA - WEI" ? thank you, have a great day !
Hey Rachel, your videos are amazing. I have a hard question: can I drop the "h" in words here, hers, himself and herself. Ah the word themselves can I pronounce it "emselves", it sounds me easier. Thanks in advance
Hi Rachel! Thanks for Your videos!! Your are awsome!
I was wondering if we link words ending in -ing to another words beginning with vowels?
Thanks!! :)
Thanks a lot Rachel, this lesson really helped me. I always could notice there was these linking words (When I didn't know what they were) but I couldn't realize they were really linked or just why they sounded like this in a fast conversation. Again, thanks for your hard work to help us improve our accent (or lose it lol). Great job here!
Wish you a late Happy New Year!
A brazilian boy who loves english. :)
Excellent teacher
@cruel2003 The differences are very small and subtle ... a non-native speaker might not hear the difference. It only happens on specific words, like 'about' ... it is not at all a major difference like between British and American English.
Is this a regular reduction/linking in general American English? or it's spoken in this manner in certain region/state?
@imgordonfreeman They are probably reducing "are", and attaching the D sound (how the T in what could be pronounced): Whu-der-you-doing? 'der' will be unstressed -- really fast, and low in pitch/volume.
@hosukiong Thanks for your question! You can look up the pronunciation of any word (in IPA!) on many sites, like dictionary (d) com ... you can even hear a native speaker saying the word!
I really like your videos. They've solved many of my questions. Can you tell me how you pronounce "th" in "Was he there?" Cause I cant say it quickly and naturally though I've tried:|
Great!!! very understandable for EFL students!!!
Thanks dear Rachel!
Yes, it's natural to drop the H in that case. Though I do want to point out that it's not wrong to pronounce the H if all the sounds flow into one another without breaks. :)
Hi Rachel, can one drop the H in, for example, “in here”? In fast speech does it sound like “in-nere”?
Hello! Yes, native speakers will commonly drop the H in your example in fast speech.
Is this a possibility to drop it or you "have to" drop it to sound like a native speaker?
Without you rachel I'm dead!
Ha! Don't say that!
Thanks a lot profesor
You're welcome Paúl!
i love your lesson
Thanks Bahrus!
I love this pronunciation tip.
Gene Ruiz Thanks!
Haha, Rachel, you're on fire... today I watched some of your videos and I really think that I had a major improvement in my english. English itself, I mean, in a moral formal speech is easier to understand because there's less word reduction, but in informal speeches wherein linking is unavoidable english becomes a pain in the ass to understand. Hopefully with this lesson H won't be a problem anymore! Off topic, do we pronounce D when It's after N? In words like hand?
Please, Rachel, i would like to know how you link works that ending with "G" before words that begining with vowel. thak you!
amazing, i feel wonderful when i see your video
what a wonderful class!
Thank you!
Much obliged,Rachel!
Oh, wow, the best pronounce videos i 've watched!
Thank you very much! :)
thanks so much muchas gracias
You're welcome Carlos!
