  • rachel i'm crazy with some contractions... for example i've heard this last class--- "the children'll have gone to bed by then" ... maybe it was clear for anyone ^^

  • @danieru1979 Yes. 'Will' can be contracted like that: I'll, you'll, but also the The children'll have (in these cases with the WILL contracted, HAVE will most likely be pronounced 'uhv': [ʌv] or [əv].

  • Thanks for the great video! I'm wondering why you didn't upload it as HD this time.

  • @maximinx Smaller file size. What do you think? Is the quality too poor?

  • Always interesting topic, thanks! By the way, i have a question. "Artillery" is one of the English words in which I still cannot hear "r" in Artillery. (For me, it sounds "Actillery") Do you think this "r' is also a kind of the reduced one or something? Please check the following video as an information;

  • @GodBlessYou2008

    I do not hear that as a C, I hear a clear R. The R won't ever be silent or change sound, though sometimes it will be lower in pitch and low in volume when it ends a word, like 'father'.

see all

  • i always mix up food and foot. can you explain that pls? :)

  • Could you make a video on the word with the letter T and N ? example written, button, cotton, mountain, sentence etc etc. I find that hard to pronoun. ( I hope you understand what I mean.)

  • How about when there are times when conjuctions are stressed? What's with the exception?

  • Thanks!
