[MicahMischief]

Okay, just a few questions.

1. The word "you're", I say it like somewhat like "yor".. not "yer" as displayed in this video.

2. I also say "we're" like "weer", and use the pronunciation given on the word "were" in the context of "You were going to do...".

3. Might've, I don't say like "Mighdev" I say it somewhat like "Might-iv"

4. I don't say "will" when I want to say "we'll" I say it like "Wheel"

I've never questioned my pronunciation, but I'm curious how my American English pronunciation lacks?

[rachelsenglish]

@MicahMischief Hi Micah, it's just a matter of how much you want to reduce them. You'll hear a wide variety of pronunciations from native speakers (you've probably noticed!)

[MrBeesho85]

Thanks for video!

I just wanna make sure about " I'll " sound and he'll sound

is I'll sound like aisle?and he'll sound like hill ?

Thanks again!

[rachelsenglish]

@MrBeesho85 Yes on aisle / I'll. He'll can sound like hill, but it might also have more of an EE than IH sound.

[etherealsonnet]

@rachelsenglish "I'll" can also sound like "all" sometimes. That's how I tend to pronounce it, and I'm from Boston. :P

[rachelsenglish]

@etherealsonnet Yes, I say it that way too depending on how I'm stressing it in the sentence.

[djdj1961]

Finally, you made it absolutely clear for me. You are a great teacher.

A beautiful woman too.

This is so much fun to watch. I'm from America so it's interesting to hear this because it seems so easy to me. But now I see how the American accent could be difficult. Before this though I thought English had to be the easiest language to learn.For me, languages like Japanese or German are hands down the hardest for me to pronounce, I need a teacher like this for those. :)

[mallowcito]

Amazing class! Extremely useful. Thanks a bunch from Brazil.

[Torcufanshaw]

Very, very useful!! Thanks a lot from Spain. These videos are priceless.

[killerlop2000]

You are a great teacher

greetings

[Sredit]

@MicahMischief I say "yor", "weer", and "wheel" as well. They're spoken like this in Western Canada, anyways.

Rachelsenglish no one but one million thanks for your priceless work teaching all of us how to pronounce proper English. Do you Rachelsenglish, that English language is one of the most difficult languages in the world? Other languanges works like this; the way you write, the way you say. But English works like this; you write in one way and the pronunciacion is in another way. Some words like: Nitrogen, drug, owl, gave me hard times. Anyway, thank you so much Rachelsenglish. God Bless you.
