    Can you explain me why it's quite easy for me to understand British English ( I mean, these podcasts) and it's terribly difficult to understand American English? I am Argentinian and I learned English at school since I was 3, but I have never been in a real life situation as I have never been in England. So now at my sixties I find that all I have learnt in the past is still somewhere in my brain, and even if I have never had a native English teacher somehow I learnt British English. Anyway I love all your podcasts !!! Both Lukes are great !

    Hi Luke 😊 and thank you for inviting Luke Nicholson!
    I knew him time ago when I watched one of his videos here on UA-cam, "Why do Italians sound Italian?". It turned out to be a sort of an eye-opener to me! I realised that I used to make some of those mistakes listed in the video, such as adding extra vowels at the end of words, the TH sound, and S vs Z sound, without noticing it! And I also realised how important it is to be intelligible when speaking (perhaps more than perfect grammar!).
    And it's not about modifying our own accent (a delicate topic nowadays) but improving our pronunciation to be more comprehensible.
    So thank you again for this in-depth conversation about one of my favourite topics!

You offer us such a true to life insight into some aspects of the English language that would be otherwise very difficult achieve for those of us who don't live in an English speaking country. So thank you so much again. It was also lovely to hear from your wife too. ❤️
    I also really appreciated your episode with Luke Nicholson. I'm a huge fan of phonetics and I always try to teach a little bit of it to my middle school students and they love it!

    I really like the idea of Luke that there is no such thing as strange spelling, it's just you're unfamiliar with the language. It's so true! In Chinese, some words and grammars are very strange to learners at first, but once you get the reason behind it, everything just make sense and not that hard anymore. This episode answered so many of my questions about English learning, really appreciate!

    Hi Luke, I'm the one of your flock who finds phonetics and phonology fascinating. I've got a few remarks concernig the accent: doesn't it depend on the vowels/syllables length? In many languages prefixes and suffixes (enclitics) are never stressed, that's why the accent can move backwards. Listening to you was a great pleasure 😊 thanks a lot!

    • @ImproveYourAccent
      @ImproveYourAccent Рік тому +3

      In English, suffixes can change the position of the primary stress. Compare: ENgine vs engiNEER (-eer suffix stressed), COMmerce vs comMERcial (stress 1 syllable before -ial suffix), INdicate and inVEstigate (stress is 2 syllables before -ate suffix). Prefixes don't usually affect the stress pattern of words. These stress alternations do change vowel sounds (for instance the "o" in commerce is different to the "o" in commercial).

    But I'm a sheep from that part of flock which can't deal with all this stuff😁 for me, as the other Luke says, the best way to improve my pronunciation is to listen and imitate.
    Strangely enough, recently, I've noticed an interesting thing, before I started to learn English it was easy for me to sing along with my favourite american singers but now my singing is more on a British side so I have to make a mental and physical effort to reproduce american sounds

    As always, great conversation, Luke! I have listened this one with a special attention, may I say, as I have decided to become an English teacher myself at the age of 27, or not a proper teacher really, but rather a tutor for now (I do not have a diploma unfortunately - I dunno , maybe it is a bit (or not a bit, but very) irresponsible for me to teach people without having one). I wonder though, is it worth it to start the career at that age, isn’t it too late for me? As you can tell, MY level of English is not that great, it is quite hard for me to formulate the thoughts - I probably should take some classes for myself before teaching anyone else :D

    Hello teacher Luke, I personally appreciate you and what you are striving to do to help people around the world who are struggling with speaking the language. You have such an artistic and creative way of teaching that makes students feel motivated and enthusiastic about English. I can certainly say that you are born to be a teacher.
    I have been learning English for over a decade, and I can use the language independently and confidently. I know English is one of the hardest languages to master. On the other hand, being able to hold a conversation in English is not that challenging, but mastering it takes a lot of effort and time. Here is the question I have for you today. When it comes to movies, podcasters, and some individuals like Elon Musk, hip-hop artists, and stand-up comedians, their English is sometimes difficult for me to catch the pronunciation of every word they say. I have tried my best to solve this problem, but I can't find anything or anyone. Would you mind helping me out with this problem? What is the real magic to getting the hang of all accents and natives' real-life English? Let me tell you one thing that I surely know. The English you are speaking in all of your videos is entirely understandable for me, and I think this is not the way you speak with your friends and family, right? But what I am really looking for is the English that you use with your native counterparts. When you speak English in your videos, you enunciate every word clearly, and this in turn helps us understand what you say vividly. But the thing is, nobody or no native speaker speaks like that in real-life situations. I am looking forward to hearing your kind and constructive remarks. thank you I am Misganaw from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

  • @ihori779
    @ihori779 Рік тому

    Hello Luke. Thanks for an interesting episode, but an excess of theoretical content spoils the practical aspects. The most effective way to master the accent is to find an good audiobook narrated by someone whose voice and accent you like and emulate their pronunciation. Start by mimicking individual words, progress to short phrases, and then to entire paragraphs, and so forth. There are many specialized applications to manipulate with your sample recordings in the needed way.
    But the main point in this is to listen carefully to your own speech. If you can't listen all accent training is useluss.
    A helpful implement for listeneing may be a simple notebook, not for writing, but as a listening aid.
    Partly open the notebook to the middle, (as if forming the letter L if to look from top edge). Put one side (a page) closer to your mouth and the other page to your ear. This works like a sound-duct and enhances the ability to hear more distinctly what you say. Alternatively, the may be a combination of both hands with palms positioned at right angles to each other and put one close to the mouth with the other to the ear. Although in this case both hands will not be free.
    Of course, it's good to know some basics of articulation at the beginning, but without delving into complex linguistic terminology, schemes and pictures, unless you intend to pursue a degree in linguistics. The purpose of the basics is to understand and feel how articulating muscles work.
    And the key element is relentless practice. Only through consistent and dedicated practice one will pick up on all the subtle nuances of pronunciation.

      Good points, but to be fair Luke does explain the importance of getting feedback on your pronunciation. Those comments come nearer the end of the episode.

      Unfortunately, the "listen-and-repeat" method very rarely works (loads of research has been done on this). Most people think they are imitating the sounds/rhythmic patterns correctly, but they aren't. That's why learning about pronunciation and training your ears helps enormously. In fact, without pronunciation training, most people will simply reinforce pronunciation mistakes while listening and repeating to an audiobook. I know, because I've worked with many students who have tried this method before coming to me for help.

    Luke, as everyone else, seems consider phonetics, or pronunciation for that matter, as intell8gable pronunciation of individual sounds. In practice, however, very few students experience problems with imitating sounds in English, or if they do, it doesn't in fact hinder intelligibility. What they really struggle with is intonation, rhythm and word stress. English intonation and rhythm are alien to speakers of other languages and require sufficient time and effort to get yor head around and get it right and, what's more challenging get used to it and develop the instinct of speaking that way. Does Luke work with these as well?

    • @LukesEnglishPodcast
      @LukesEnglishPodcast  Рік тому

      Yes he does. At one point in the conversation he says something to the effect of “we are only talking about sounds here but there’s a lot more including intonation and stress.”

    • @ImproveYourAccent
      @ImproveYourAccent Рік тому

      I don't consider pronunciation simply to do with segmentals (individual sounds), however segmentals do cause communication breakdowns. I've been teaching pronunciation for over a decade and have heard numerous students explain to me that they have repeated one individual word multiple times with the listener not understanding. The cause was one or two sounds within the word, not stress. I would also like to add that many adults can't imitate sounds without instruction.
      Now onto suprasegmentals (word stress, rhythm, intonation): yes, I do teach this too. It's worth noting that English intonation and rhythm aren't completely alien to all languages (e.g. Germanic languages). My course has extensive materials for the suprasegmentals of Standard Southern British English (note that the segmentals and suprasegmentals are different for different varieties of English).
      What hinders intelligibility is different for every individual. For some people it's segmentals and others it's suprasegmentals. The teacher needs to decide what the priorities are. It's also worth pointing out that intelligibility is contextual. I talk about this on my funetics site: www.funetics.com/topic/pV

      I think you’ve misunderstood. It’s “intelligibility” (clarity) not “intelligence”. Luke is talking about improving your clarity when speaking, not about eliminating an accent, although some people do want to remove their accent in some cases.
