My grandparents speak with a non-rhotic accent and I got really confused when my grandmother kept talking about going to the "hot" (good looking) doctor, but after about the 4th time I figured out that it was the heart doctor that she was talking about lol.

[@DavidJimenez-my5gn]

[@seditioniss]

[@pearll.a358]

Thank you so much teacher this helps a lot 🙏

[@GG2137GG]

Coach, I feel there are some differences between these sentences pronounciations:
I’m just saying | I’m just singing | I’m just sinning | I’m just seeing
Also words:
Boot | Boat | Bot | Bought | Bit | Beat | But | Bat | Bid
Could you make a video about either or both? I'd appreciate it

I would like to know what is the difference (in pronunciation) between gone and gon' Because I've seen in some songs that they usually write gon' but I can't listen the difference. Thank u! And sorry if my English is bad D:

[@genivaldopedroolivira8530]

[@donknowles2531]

Of course, there are regional differences which he mentions. Boston being a prime example. I had to pahk my cah in the dahk.

[@wereallmadhere]

Please, someone could answer me: exists in AmEnglish the vowel /ɒ/ (like "HOT" or "ON" in BritishEng?

[@awayout32]

[@afgo1996]

Thanks, great video! I just have one question, what about the pronunciation of the word "hat"? is it pronounced the same way as "hot"?

[@donknowles2531]

No. Not in American English for the most part.

[@mahmoudMohamed-fz5ss]

Please how can I say "owl"

[@alainross9603]

very easy, just say ''owl'' 🤣🤣🤣

[@abbeycooper7708]

Its so hard for me to pronounce the word heart my heart sound sounds like hurt so this is a great video for me!😃

[@abdelleahmed5165]

Does it mean that Hurt = hert

[@TrareNgyenFiong]

Please show me what different between "hurt" and "heard" except the ending sound。
Thanks

[@donknowles2531]

Don't think there really is a difference in American English. Both are pronounced with a beginning sound like "her".

[@gn4830]

HEARD HURT HEART HARD I can hear the difference between these words and understand the context if a native speaker is saying. but if it's my turn to speak, cant pronounce these words differently HEARD HURT HEART HARD

[@gn4830]

Please do HEARD HURT HEART in a sentence

[@kathyaparicio120]

The difference between HUT, HOT and HAT?? Please help me

[@danielsilva-us3zn]

I didn't even know there was a difference between "heart" and "hot".

[@NM-fd3jo]

If hot is hot how is hat. I think d way u say hot is intended for hat.

[@JapaneseLabo]

omg , these pronunciation are completely difficult lol.

[@jasonbolster3259]

I can barely hear the difference between “hot” and “hut” in an American accent.

[@autobot7061]

I think hut is can be explained to come from the bottom of your belly

[@laurawolfe154]

Open your mouth when saying hot.
Aaaahhhhh vs uuuuuuhhhh.

[@topkek4593]
