+Cheeky Froggy bonjouurrrrr! 😁✋🏻
Your lessons always make my English improved remarkably! I really want to get used to speak with British accent..
I learn a lot from this ,so thank you so much XD
My dad is from the US and my mother is English.. I've also been going back and forth between the two all my life. So, I sound like a bad actor everywhere I go. So thanks for this! Hopefully I can fix it :)
The way you pronounced the words in English was cool XD, I wish I had a better British accent. But your videos really help , thanks!
I freaking love your videos… Totally helps me with my weird mix accent lol
U know what I'm so exited cuz i was studding at the B.C Egypt branch long time ago , and this lessons help me to make a flash back , Sooo I'm so thankful :)
I'm a New Zealander and so many of these things are similar to our accent 😜
+Bailey Dawbin 🤘hey New Zealand!!
Bailey Dawbin ... yo . kiwi accent is specific though. especially the E . like every it's like eevery😊
"Deck" is my favourite word in NZ accent :)
So true
I really love this videos,where is the Lesson 3?
I think even in your examples of the Schwa. It could be divided into two vocals. For instance the Schwa in [Ever] or [Police] we pronounce it with "uh". But in [Taken] or [Pencil] we pronounce it like there is an absence of vocal; like Pen-ssl.
In Korean we use "ㅓ" and "ㅡ" to differentiate these two vocals.
Thanks for your explainations.
you're so good at it! Thanks!
+Nancy Arora thanks for watching! 🤘🤓

I've finished to study all your the pronunciation classes and again I will repeat myself that you did a fantaboulous work with all the videos ! I think that I've mastered my pronunciation greatly, however, still I want to tweak it at my corpo-work.Thank you ! :)
Could you please recommend any interesting British series from which I could catch a nice British accent ?
I've already finished with outstanding "Penny Dreadful".
Thank you in advance.

Thank you Peshang, I am gonna try it out :)
this is really cool. thank you very much indeed.
i liked the video mate helped very much
Hello,I wanted to add that in America, in the Northeast region, New England, You'll hear the schwa sound quite often, actually even as far south as Philadelphia. Proper pronunciation is more Midwestern, they have a much clearer way of speaking.
2019❤️
Great teacher❤️
How do you say when one person pronounces the word "doctor" or "teacher" with /ə/ sound and other person with /ɑː/ sound? Are both of them using the schwa sound in their pronunciation? Does the/ə/ sound represent the standard way to pronounce the schwa sound and the /ɑː/ sound is it the Cockney one? Hope I expressed myself well.
need more !!!
thank you for the lesson, the way you explained it was so easy. but i dont understand how we know or decide where to stress the word? like the one you marked it with a black dot
Hi guys! I love British accent so thank you for teaching it :)
Thank you for watching! :)
Hello!
I wanted to ask how can I pronounce schwa sound in words like "evermore" which the 'er' is in the middle of the word. Can I pronounce it like "eva'more"? (Sorry for my English)
Thanks for the sample explainning
that was amazing thank you
Happened to see the series of videos, quite interesting. I suppose it's not RP but more regional London accent, not sure if I'm correct.
this is so great
This is awesome! I'm learning a London accent for a musical production I'm in, and this is helping tremendously. Thank you so much!
Wow this really helped 😁thanks
thank u so helpful
Excuse me 😊 Do you have any video about how knowing strees syllable in word for non-native speakers in english
Hi, great video as always! How would you pronounce "Azure", like in Microsoft Azure. Does it end with a schwa sound?
yes, it does :)
wow this is really helpful, thank you. I am not a native english speaker and this helping me much to fix my weird accent
+Dien Dinasty Maharani I'm sure you have a lovely accent :)
I already am half British, and can do the accent, but I wanted to make sure I was doing it right! Turns out I was, but this was a gigantic help!
Love it 💃🏻❤️
Hi Papa, why is the schwa sound different between the words end with 'er' and the words with weak syllable?
you are best teachr
VERY USEFUL THANKS :)
thank you a lot' :) i`m peruvian and i want to have the british sound . Its hard but i will see your videos, thanks a lot teacher
Glad you're enjoying them Luna! :)
I love your lessons, there are very good. I have a question. Should try to get a British accent when I live in the U.S.? I originally speak French so English in not my first language, and I kinda have a French accent.
Hey there ! Honestly, keep your accent as it is. I know that having a French accent can be uncomfortable in a way when you live in an english-speaking country but having an english accent in the US is the same. Besides, you'll have people asking you if you're British and all that sort of stuff and it might just get awkward.
And don't forget that they actually prefer a French accent, they find it sexier. ;)
Simone Olivia I second that :)
0:40, i laughed and i said clearly " You're Brilliant " , Good Job buddy!
+Mostafa G. Ahmed haha awesome! Thanks for watching! 🤘🤓
I'm Dutch and it's so difficult to learn the English accent, because our teacher, yes our teacher speaks more American than English, which makes it difficult for a twelve years old boy😆
Ps. If my grammar isn't that good, it's the fact that i'm just twelve years old🤗
+Zieboow Games Dude at 12 I could barely go a day without pissing myself. You're doing well 🤘
Oh really? Thanks a lot man!
YT World Hey ik ben ook Nederlands
I'm from germany and most people here didn't say better or be'er .... they said like bedda .. Think most German people here understand me ... (sorry for my bad english xD) You're a good Teach-a ... hope that i get a british accent very soon ... Thank you
I'm not from England (been there though)and I've always used glottal T's ( wa'er) I'm in the states and I'm so sick of hearing the stressed R. American english just doesn't sound, well , propahh! Great stuff Aly as always thank you for the lessons,my friend.
