Rachel, for P T K, pronunciation of each sound should be differrent due to its positions, it should be aspirated or unaspirated.

hi Rachel..please teach me me how to pronounce the word ''Important.''

I have known IPA and all the major dictionaries since 1998(Oxford,longman, Webster, etc.). I understand the sound reading the symbols.My regret is that most of the native speakers do not follow IPA and kind of reduce the sound or add more in many cases which are outlandish to us. So can i say IPA kind of fooled us. the only thing good of IPA is its one-page-chart for the symbols to us. I don't touch dictionaries for pronunciation. So how will we know native way pronouncing! any full guide plz.

Hi Rachel,your teaching is awesome. I work for an international B.P.O and your video sessions on American pronunciation is helping me a lot. I like the way you articulate your lips,tongue and teeth to make the appropriate sound.I am still learning a lot from your videos and I believe it would be a matter of time before I would be able to speak flawless English language.YOU have been an angel in disguise for me who yearned so much for someone who could help him in his English.Keep the good work.

@rachelsenglish Thank you once again Rachel. You are really a sweet lady. I won't be lying if I say that I got attracted to your beautiful face and of course your selfless work in English which has trained millions of people till date. I have currently started writing a blog and it would be really an honour and privilege for me if you could visit my blog.I am also interested in doing social service for my country India which I am very proud of.I don't want any foreigner to ill-treat our English.

hi rachel. thanks for your amazing work. it really helped me a lot. here i have two questions about pronunciation.

1, i always notice that some words don't sound like how they should do if you pronounce them by symbols, for example"bond", where the "o" doesn't sound like /ɔ/ but /a/. so does "font". is there some kinds of rule for it?

2, liaison is the main reason why i can't hear the speaking clearly, and also the skill i wanna learn, could you teach it on the video?

thanks a lot!!
