[nguoibanhangvidai]

I would like to say a special Hello to Misterduncan from Vietnam ^^

[poliver11]

n this lesson we look at the phonetic alphabet. Some people think that this is a helpful tool for improving spoken English, while others feel that phonetics slows down the process of learning English and makes it dull and boring!

[belenka18]

u go Argentinaaa !!!!!! loved the video !!!!

[aniello9]

Mr. Duncan you are a great zoccola.

[tentolanam]

Phonetics is an area that most of learning English speakers feel afraid and frustrated. But Phonetics is necessary for people who wanna speak English more fluently, and I don't indicate to people who only want repairing Phonetics for passing TOEFL's speaking test. Phonetics is related to Pronunciation, learning Phonetics and improving your Pronunciation are best ways to make yourself understood by English speakers.

[aniello9]

@tentolanam , Excuse my, i dont'speak well, but I wished alone, to do a witty remark, Mr Duncan is a excellent teacher, and resemble wandery at Elton John.

by by for now.

[OldfashionGirl90]

the phonetics are so important to learn cuz it learns us how to pronounce the words correctly and the codes are not so difficult to remember , i have learnt them in a book which is called phonetics , really useful book and help people who has problems with pronounciation in general or in a specific letters like th :)

[bacre00]

i know it might be a stupid question but let's ask: is he paid to do these stuffs?

[titanawi]

[kasumin100]

Hi Im Mirella from Brazil i love your lessons are so good!

[tobikmade]

iam from indonesia,.. would you be my friend???

[jgoolala]

reviewing the videos is still helpful and interesting. thank you what you have done for us.

[TheZeratul86]

hello mrduncan your videos are great. I would appreciatte if you teach me how to pronounce the words that start with "th" like THIRTY for example. I heard that some people pronounce with the "f" and others with the "t". some say teri and other say it feri. thanks

[baigandine]

It is its own sound, neither t nor f. But f would be a better approximation.

[Bergues777]

Hello Mr Duncan!

Im Guillermo from Argentina. I see your lessons everyday.

Thanks a lot.

[BelleWen]

Thanks Mr.Duncan, it's very useful for me!am from Malaysia!!!

[ChanShuTian]

Maybe the process is dull and boring, but with the help of these alphabets, you would be able to pronounce any unfamiliar words in Dictionaries. As a result, you will learn volcabularies faster and you will be more active to read English.....the outcome then, is obvious.

[anhtuanop]

Hi Mr. Duncan. A Vietnamese's back again. I'm so glad to join your lessons. Because of these ones, I could get a job. You'll be too kind if you make a lesson about "How to prepare for an Interview". Thank you so much. Ta-ta 4now!

[Mr2ndhand]

Thanks mr Duncan..from Malaysia..We are always supporting you!!!

[Vuto221]

from VIetNam , thanks so much , misterduncan , you are great teacher !

[Ladys0107]

Mr. Duncan,

I think your videos are great! I really like the way you teach. However, I have been looking for more phonetics, more differences between sounds as sh - ch, g - j. Can you make some videos base on these sounds, please?

I really appreciate it! Thanks!

[jadama27]

this was actually fun to watch....i am an american learning how to teach english in spain and we are studying the phonetic alphabet...

[saeedsweet1]

mister dunkun very good to see ur videos

[mandysergipe]

A hello from Brazil, Mr. Ducan!

I found your video very interesting. Since you started the topic on Phonetics, are you thinking of teaching about stress and intonation too? That would be lovely!

Thank you.

[tuxcanfly]

[mybabylovely]

did you forget india mr.duncan????????

or do you under estimate indians.

[diwakarsingh143]

he didnt mention india coz he know indians olready know the english quite well.. =)

[2820ben]

hello Mr.Duncan,

what i can say to your video is "WOW".. this is what i looking for..you have a great idea to make people enjoy with english..keep it up the good job...

[bestlaide]

hey duncan you are a great teacher

could u teach me how to use tenses in sentence,and past and present tence

[88heryl]

this is fine..

[zapperxxx]

cool, this really helped me, however, im studying american english, i wish i could study british english, its way better than american english

keep it up!

[noorsafi]

Thank you very much misterdunkan

where is Enjoy English

[bloe3]

wow!!! Fabolous, I have been using phonetic symbol since then, I usually use them whenever I teach my students especially in pronunciation

[frufruJ]

Mr. Duncan,

I *love* your videos, but I have a feeling this one was a bit rushed. Don't you think it would be better to go into more depth? For example, many languages don't have the sounds "th", people don't even know how to pronounce them - do you think it would be helpful if they knew that these are dental fricatives, and what it means? I know that e.g. the vowel map was helpful for me. And how about the rhythm and melody?

[88heryl]

i agree with you.

[tapudnuch]

I ALSO AGREE WITH YOU.

[Highlanderpride08]

Mr. Duncan,

I speak fluent English but your lesson Phonetics has helped me alot during my Linguistics class!

Truly, The UCR Highlander

Yes another great lesson and the topic of phonetics is tied to pronunciation and is one of the things I consider most interesting about learning english. Thanks once more!

[plworldcn]

funny lessons, of great help. thanks for sharing!

[oszczynka]

This is a very short but quite good introduction into phonetics. However, I doubt if one can learn phonetics over the internet. I think you must have a skilled tutor, who would correct your misporunciations and guide you how to use your organs of speech properly.

[Lynn15]

I do love that monkey. From Norway btw :P

[seekylin14]

yeah...so exciting..thank for your effort

I'm your student from Vietnam^^

[gatsby31]

Hello!This is your friend from Canaries, Spain.Thanks a lot for your video.English was my 'A' subject until I met Phonetics.I've been told I pronounce perfectly,but with 'Mr.Gimson' and others in University it's became a hell.What about American pronunciation?You do it much better!It's like the English I've always studied.Don't worry;I'll find a teacher of Phonetics sonner or later.Thanks anyway! Bye and good luck!

[dulceju]

Hi! It is a great way to learn phonetics! It is more fun than having my phonetics teacher teaching me that! I was wondering if you have some lesson about tonegroups or British intonation?

I will appreciate that, because I'm studying them at college and they are not easy to learn!
