  • well, when I had only 5 years old and now I have 15 =)) I learned english:from my second educator, and even from cartoons. At school my teacher learned us about UK gramatic and accents., especially England's accent. When she putted us to sing, or play a role from a character, it always reminded me to become an actor :d

  • you have an english accent. are you live in UK? sorry about my bad english

  • @Digifan001 Excellent. Keep up the good work.

  • Comment removed

  • @Digifan001 Yes I have an English accent. And yes I do live in the UK. I live in London. I can understand what you are talking about so you are making progress.

  • haha you said zed its zee

  • @soccergirl472 Not in England it isn't. We always say Ex Wi Zed at the end of the alphabet. That is probably one of the differences between us and the Americans who say Ex Wi Zee - as you say. Thank you for noticing this and for your hits. Best wishes from central London - close to zee London Zoo. Have you seen the Talkabout Guide video yet?

  • @JackBarnett21 uyh jjj

  • @parkshinglee I am sorry but I don't understand what this means.

  • @soccergirl472 zed is english

  • Hi,

    Thanks a lot for this peice of information....Can you please give the combination sounds of vowel and consonant (like ba, da,ca,fa,ga,ha,bi,ci di,fi,gi,hi,ji bo,co,do,fo,ho,jo,bu,cu,du,fu,­gu,hu,). vowel and consonant sounds like(ab,ac,ad, af,ag,al,ak,am,an,ap,ed,eg, ef, ej, el em, en,er, es,ex, ev,id,if,il,im,in, is,itob,oc,of,om,on,op,or,ov,o­w, ul,ug,un,um,up,ur,us, ut).Vowel and vowel combinations(ae,ai,au, ea,ee,ia,io, oa,oi,oo,ou)as it would be easy to pronounce the words correctly.

  • @radhadhananjaya Thank you very much for the suggestion I will try to sort it out tonight. Best wishes Jack

  • thank you so much :)

  • @duangjan2007 I am pleased that they are helpful.

  • useful

  • Oh ok. I appreciate you clearing that up for me. Now im thinking of Lord Zed (the evil guy from power rangers w/ that z staff) lol

  • did he say zed for z?...

  • @3OG33 yes sorry about that. In England they talk about Zeds.

  • @JackBarnett21 Yeah, England speaks real English, lol, America just has a cheap knockoff.

  • You know, it's a good thing english is my first language from birth.

    I don't have too worry about learning one of the most used language's in the world XD

    A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z.

    NOW I KNOW MY ABC'S NEXT TIME WON'T YOU SING WITH ME :D

    Im sorry -_-

  • With one hundred views so far perhaps i would have done better to sing it. then i might have made one million hits.

  • Thanks a lot

    I like your videos!!

  • That is very kind of you. Cheers.

  • kindness of your..

  • thanks

  • thank you very much!

  • If there are some particular parts of the English language that you would like to hear please just write. JackB21

  • I find this very calming as well as feeling sleepy. You have a very good remedy in destimulating a persons active state.

  • In the US we say ZEE. And R is actually pronounced instead of AHH, it's ERR...I like the British Accent tho!

  • Thank you for your kind words - we can only speak as we have been taught.

    JackB21

  • Thanks it was very helpful!

  • That is good to know. Excellent.

  • I am doing my best to push Zed around the world. I have had over a million hits on my channel so something must be right.

    best wishes JackB21

  • zed....? lmao...never heard that before...must be because this dude has an english accent. in america we pronounce it zee... all my foreign friends say its better to learn american english because its more widely used...they think understanding the british accent is really hard

  • Thank you for taking the time to point out what us 'foreigners' make of 'your' language. That is really very kind of you. Now if you wish to speak English, from England, like the English do - then you will use the Zed pronunciation. If you wish to speak English as a foreiner - then you will pronounce it as Zee.

  • because we americans like to see what foreiners think or language is ! and a little critisism like he said z wrong hahaha

  • I've checked your vid for my studying and is very helpful for me. really appreciate it.

    I'm japanese and japanese has very strong vowles ( you know I mean??)

    So a bit difficult to pronounce, especially consonants, but I'll try!

  • Yoko do you have some software like skype or msn to practice english with me??

  • this isn't the Roswell UFO footage is it? eheheheh

  • if you have already mastered english what are you doing going through this stuff.

    this is for folks trying to come to terms with this language.

    mind you i suppose most americans are still trying to come to terms with english since what they speak is American!

    best wishes

  • thank you for your kind words. i am not a hooray henry so 'Carry on Old Chap' is a little misplaced. However i am grateful for your explanation.

    best wishes

  • Look people make up your minds, either you want to live in the United States or you want to live in Great Britain.

    Choose your pronunciation accordingly. That's all-- no more commentary necessary. I f you say "shedule" here in America people will laugh and snicker. Americans are rude and you know that already.

    Carry on and worry about mastering the subject-verb agreement!

    Have a good day! and concentrate on your studies I have already mastered English.

    Thank you.

    Ciao.

  • I am not in America - I am in London England.

  • You are funny! the reference was not for you! it was for those who want to speak American English! I am very aware of where you are and very admiring of your good manners, quite a contrast from Americans, carry on old chap!!

    Good job, thank you for the time you have taken to put these classes together. It is difficult to convey humor in short sentences!

    Cheers!!

  • America was a British colony once and now they are free- they say "zee" for Z. " When you are in Rome , do as the Romans do!"

  • Except U.S, rest of the world pronounce  "zed" for Z

  • I seem to be getting into trouble with the pronunciation of the last letter of the alphabet.

    In the United Kingdom people say 'zed'.

    I have heard people from other parts of the world refer to the word as 'zee'.

    Now we can chat about this endlessly but at the end of the day "who cares a stuff".

  • what? zed?

  • "Z" is "Zed" in Canada, too!

  • thanks - that's what they call it in england. perhaps you are used to calling it zee. there you go - you speak american and i speak english.

  • zed? heh thats funny! sorry im from america. good job! good lessons (i think) but i already know english...hm sorry. not criticizing you. zed is funny!

  • I live in lithuania and English is very hard :/ But Wen I find this is made little easy'er

  • hey that is good. you are most welcome.

    i have done a 5th English one. You might like to try it and tell me what you think.

    best wishes

  • Andrew I had fun making these - and they have astonished me with their take up. Can you tell me two things. The first is where are you teaching? The second - I am going to make another in the series - so what would be helpful to you 'at the front line'? Thank you for your comments and possible help.

  • I apologize for taking so long to get back to you.  I am teaching in Osaka, Japan; at a high level high school, a couple of private classes and at a chain of bars/restaurants.

    As for a new series; homonyms trip students up as do irregular verbs.

    keep 'em coming! ajf

  • Your English teaching videos are clear and professional. I will share these with my students.

    Thanks! Andrew

  • He forget to mention that the "g" can sometimes sound like a "j". I hate that "a" sound people tend to put at the end of the letter sound.

  • As you say, the g in gentleman that sounds like a j.  Yes. thanks. what is this 'a' at the end of things? can you give me an example please. thanks again.

  • thats interesting about the "q" and "u" together. I just opened an English dictionary and it's true!! I didnt know this before. English is weird but an interesting language

  • thank you very much!

  • that is great. the alphabet is very useful i think.

    best wishes

    jack
