Hi there I am an italian working in an office in London since few months and what I find more frustating is to hear my bad pronunciation when I speak with my colleagues (which are all native speakers)..Thanks for your lessons! Useful and definitely not boring!!
I have a question to anybody who knows the answer.Is he speaking slowlier than an ordinary native speaker or he's speaking "normally"?Sorry about the stuoid question.:D
The only problem James is that you are confusing the /er/ in "her" with /er/ as in "computer" as the same sound...they are not. The er in computer is the schwa...namely the same sound as the /e/ as in "the"
I suggest you pull this clip off as you are confusing.
There are 2 sorts of TH sounds actually : TH in "fifTH, THousand, cloTH (careful softer in cloTHEs),..." is stronger than in "togeTHer, filTHy, souTHern..."
your one of a good and awesome teacher i already watched 4 consecutively videos u made,, and i think i should keep on watching some of the others..........thanks i really had a great time listening to you!!
good job, very helpful information. if people how much good information is available for free on the net a lot of bad schools would go out of business.
@eljuandale This is one reason why our country is so far behind on education cause of ignorant people like you. Grow up! Keep ignorance off the internet especially when this man is taking the time to educate you.. How much do you know about the english language? I bet thats the only word you know and don't know what it means. Did you know your acting like a NiggER now. Grow up learn something positive.
@gwenorlando Damn same insult three times in a row. Better you keep to welfare and not attempt to speak English anymore. May I suggest getting a muzzle you uneducated nigger.
Mr. James, I have a question for you so would please answer me? I've been studying english over 8-years but I am still unable to engage the normal smooth native english conversations. I also noticed I move my lips a lot which sounds like I am "gay". What I mean by that is there is some unatural facial movement on face so how can I change. I hate the way I speak. I have college degree and going for masters in MBA, yet I fear going to interviews thought I have a job now. What can I do?
Essay writing was always hard for me. The way it was taught in school just didn't seem to "click" for me. Then I found this essay writing guide and I learned how to write a good essay in only about 30 minutes (with a little practice). I hope it helps you as much as it helped me.
The teaching person says "they said that they will have to come back later" in the sixth minute of this video which is wrong. He should rather use 'would' instead of 'will'. The person is not having the language skill himself.
his teaching style is not boring..actually it was really good! but he didnt explain further the "er" sound..he shouldve included "ir" "ur" & "ear" as "er" sound..maybe he was only teaching "er" sound at the end of words..but even his "th" sound was wrong with "the king"...his sound came out like "thee king" but its should sound like "tha king"..because the following word after "the" starts with a consonant first letter...but still all in all..hes good..
for me, Brazilian, things like that is way useful... I guess I have a nice procunciation of words... but you know, I'd like to have the American "r" sound, which is veRy haRd to get.
you are doing a great job!!! I don't have any problems with my pronunciation of ENG words in general, but I ain't got someone to talk to in ENG fluently :)
I lived 4 and a half years in sanfrancisco . I moved to Chile and stop speaking english but this video makes me want to relearn the pronunciation again ... thx james
@ARIDEASDISCOBOY First of all if you don't have nice things to say, keep it to yourself. I also notice you are not as cleaver you think you are base on your writing and thinking.
@amansawa thanks for answering...as you see democracy allows you and me to comment and writing...and oufcourse if you wanna think your self the most clever man in the world do it....In my country mr Clever teachers are not as you think...
Wank-ER! Your grasp of what constitutes the basics of English Comprehension leaves a lot to be desired and I defy your teaching of non-English speakers. Mate, in laymans terms...''Fucking do one''!
man I love you!! thank you!Everyday i learn something new from you..Thank you!
