  • it's really helpful. Thanks so much for uploading videos. ^_^

  • @onahpets100 i like this comment because of the word "several"

  • @ArturoStojanoff its more like iyyar :)

  • @TomWilliams921 thanks =) but "severe" is also a two-syllable word like "several" and I know how to say "several" I'm just asking because some words has 2 ways to pronounce them like "schedule" "neither" and some other words

  • @russianspy24 hehehe I know, but I´m just asking becase if you use /i/ sound in "severe" then what is the case in "several"

  • i still dont know the difference between sea and sea(pronunciation)

  • @onahpets100 several is a two-syllable word in US accents with the stress on the first syllable. it's an /e/ sound |(nothing to do with /i/ or /I/), and the second syllable is reduced into a schewa (a neutral sound) . hope you find this helpful. I'm a british actor btw, currently working on mastering the Californian

  • I always wondered, the "ear" sound, is it /i/ur, or /I/ur?

  • It's too fast for me but so nice
