Rachel, are you cooking in high heels??? sounds like ;)

[rachelsenglish]

@rexduranzelandony Yes I am!

[rexduranzelandony]

All your videos are very helpful and instructive, as well as fun to watch, great job! would you please elaborate a little on whether the two different ways to pronounce the word "aunt" have to do with regional accents or personal choice. Because I think I remember hearing it being pronounced like "ant", the insect, back when I was in the US. Thanks a lot for being so cool

[rachelsenglish]

@rexduranzelandony It does not have to do with region, but personal choice. It is definitely much more comment to pronounce it as you are used to hearing it, like the insect.

[D80sRocks]

interesting but you are not pronuncing the word ramen correctly, since it's japanese ;)

[rachelsenglish]

@D80sRocks Well, yes, I'm pronouncing it the way it is pronounced in America!

Very good your video and you are very beatiful.

Congratulations from Brazil!!

I loved find it. It will help me in a wonderful way. It's what I need to improve my English pronunciation, for sure. Thanks a lot and thanks God for this.

[descontroladoxelrock]

@rachelsenglish Yes I know, I only write it like that when I'm chatting with friends, that's why I wanted to know if there's like a rule. Anyway it's not a big deal, but I'm just asking out of curiosity. Thanks.
