    "Friends" was my favorite when I grew up. It was broadcast in Indonesian television in 1990s when I was 8 to 11 years old. I was completely blank about English at that time (it had Indonesian subtitles), but it ignited my curiosity to learn English. Thanks to my English teacher when I was in grade 8. She was an angel. She taught us grammars and vocabulary in a very simple way just like you, Rachel. Since then, I read English stories and listened to English songs a lot. My English improved drastically until I was 18. I watched a lot of American movies and they introduced me more intimately into American English.
    I love your channel. It keeps me learning American English and culture.

    Why the T in this Latte word not flap T however it's between two vowels?

    • @rachelsenglish
      @rachelsenglish  7 місяців тому +1

      Hi @Manishpadwa! This is probably because the word is adapted from an Italian word. It's important to look up words like this, since they can be exceptions to general pronunciation rules.

    Hi ma'am, i had a question. In the words "ear" and "here" is the /r/ sound preceded by a vowel sound or the /r/ sound is the vowel sound. Also is it similar for the /r/ sound in the word "over".

    • @rachelsenglish
      @rachelsenglish  7 місяців тому

      Thanks for your question! I generally consider R to be a consonant, but when it is UR it can act like a vowel. More on the UR sound here: ua-cam.com/video/Ehn6XixUBKs/v-deo.htmlsi=aTtKPnSNXkirv-Ef

    So do we say "If I were there it wouldn't have happened" or "If I had been there it wouldn't have happened" talking about past?
    Also in school in the 90's they told me that both "If I were" and "If I was" could be used about future/present with "was" used if something is possible and "were" if something is impossible like "If I were born again" but "If I was better paid"

    • @rachelsenglish
      @rachelsenglish  7 місяців тому

      You could say either of these options, and a listener would understand them to have the same meaning.

    Should one connect "than" and "ever" in a phrase like "more important than ever"? Would it then become"more important than never"?

    • @rachelsenglish
      @rachelsenglish  5 місяців тому +1

      Yes, these are usually linked! "Never" wouldn't make sense in this context, so even with a smooth link we can understand that the word is "ever".

    18:54 : Why is the ''t'' ending of the word ''about'' stop T? Shouldn't Stop T have been between two consonants ? When does it become Stop T?

    • @kaganacar7892
      @kaganacar7892 5 місяців тому

      also we know that if T sound between two consonants ,T drops. Then İs there any meaning of mentioning that Cluster PT,ST,CT?

    • @rachelsenglish
      @rachelsenglish  5 місяців тому

      Sometimes for extra clarity, or if they aren't sure what the next word will be, people will use a true T in this word. However, usually if it's linking to a consonant, or if it's ending a thought group, it'll be a stop T. More about the stop T here: ua-cam.com/video/rjETn25MuDc/v-deo.htmlsi=OzvgoE-FPB0-qMlg

      Hi @user-un9it7wg5h! I'm not sure what you are asking here. Would you mind rephrasing your question? If it's about different pronunciations or vocabulary between the US and the UK, there are lots of differences. Some of the differences have reasons, but many have just evolved that way over time based on what people commonly say.
