It's so nice to hear real English (and spoken so well and beautifully!).

Most of the English lessons that I see on the internet are given by Americans. When I go abroad, all the foreigners speak English with an American accent.

I so love the beautiful English accent!

I have to ask which county your accent comes from??

[fleurhaitienne]

what a great lesson! it's so helpfull, thank you Sir.

[gorogawa]

Great job! I just have a little question. Why do you keep saying "uz" instead of "us"? It sounds a bit foreign and ... German. :) Or maybe it's a local dialect, I don't know.

[Linguaspectrum]

@gorogawa /z/ is a voiced consonant while /s/ is unvoiced. Us is pronounced /ʌs/ not /ʌz/ even by me. Perhaps because it is preceded by the vowel sound /ʌ/, which is, as a vowel, voiced, you are hearing the /z/ sound where it does not exist?

[gorogawa]

@Linguaspectrum I don't know. I'm pretty sure that was one voiced alveolar fricative. Maybe your voice went longer after the "ʌ", which resulted in a "z" sound instead of "s". Or maybe it's just my imagination. You're the teacher here after all.

thank you very much

[Oanaa01]

can someone please tell me the name of the song from the beggining?

thank you

[Linguaspectrum]

@Oanaa01 It's Pachelbel's Canon, also known as Canon in D major. It was written by Johann Pachelbel. It may have been composed for the wedding of Johann Christoph Bach on the 23rd October 1694. I created this rendition with the aid of my computer.

best 17 minutes of my day, thank you!

[KevJJ888]

Sometimes the type is hard to read, and it is a bit long, but thank you.

At 9'20, "We called him tortoise because he taught us," said the Mock turtle.

Thankyou.

Perhaps the "frayed knot" joke, and the "assaulted peanut" joke shouldn't be attempted right now, as much as I enjoy them.

Forgive me for giving away each punchline.

I don't want to pick a fight.

I'm trying to bait you into other areas of idioms.

There are many themes that provide idioms.

For example, boxing; 'pick a fight', 'throw in the towel', 'a knockout', etc.

Horse racing includes much, too.

I'd love to see these themes done, too.

If you've already provided such, forgive me. I'm a fish out of water, and slow out of the blocks, when it comes to appreciating what has already been made available.

[Linguaspectrum]

@naganokumas Thanks for watching and for your comments. I'm currently working my way through food idioms, but sport is an interesting topic, too. Thanks for the suggestion.
