    Rachel, thank you! I have been watching your videos for several years, and now I can pronounce every sound correctly and know how to link words together. Cutting lines, and especially intonation, is the weak part for me at present.

    Thanks Rachel! although I lived more than half of my life in Canada and I'm considered "fluent", I know I need a lot of help, especially now I'm becoming hearing impaired due to genetic "gifts"... so videos like this one with graphics help me a lot. I'm now away from Canada, back for a few years in my native country where, sadly, many people seem to "hate anything English" on top of a generalized 'anti-American sentiment' :-( :-( :-( so your videos (and internet in general) are a blessing for me - I can keep connected with the language, people and culture I love. Thanks for making this world a better place to live.

    Now, I fully understand what thought groups are because sometimes I speak too fast without pausing and breathing. And I am having a hard time connecting my speech and it will turn me unclear to others. Thank you, Rachel. I will definitely keep this in mind.

    Rachel, I hope you don't consider this comment "spam," but I have to say your work on UA-cam is one of the reasons I got into making ESL videos myself (unfortunately, my voice lacks the clarity of yours). I'm more focused on grammar, vocabulary and usage, but I hope to do pronunciation work too. I'll definitely keep recommending your channel to my students!

    Dear Rachel, How to pronounce "Tunisia" ?
    I usually hear 2 types of pronunciations, one with Z (Tunizia) and one with J (Tunijia).
    Did we pronounce the "ia" at the end as it's, or we pronounce just the "a" (TunisA) ?
    Thank you!

  • @artemoff.9552
    @artemoff.9552 7 років тому

    Hi Rachel! I've got a question for you. But before I move on to it, I'd like to point out that English is not my first language (my mother tongue is Russian, btw). Now, that being said, here's the thing: I consider my passive vocabulary range to be quite wide, but the problem is, I don't use much words from it (obviously, because it is PASSIVE vocab). And when I talk even to non-native speakers of English, I keep noticing that they use much more enriched and precise vocabulary, which I can't say I am quite good at. So, the question is: how do I divert the words that I have in my passive voacbulary to the active one, how do I, in other words, bring them to the surface? Are there any exercises that, to your mind, may help me develop my ability to find the right words and grammar constructions when and where necessary? Thank you, Paul.

    What happens when you don't have commas (some kind of punctuation) and they ask you to identify the thought groups?
    I have a book with audios, but when I listen to them I can't identify any pause.
