  • How to pronounce - here, hear and hair

    from hoyunkiong@yahoo.com

  • @hosukiong Thanks for your question! You can look up the pronunciation of any word (in IPA!) on many sites, like dictionary (d) com ... you can even hear a native speaker saying the word!

  • Is it chi-Kah-go or shi-Kah-go?

  • @vincentcfpun Chicago: spelled with a CH, pronounced SH [ʃ], just like "chef" and various other words in English.

  • I venture to say: Not so much in speech, but to hear your lessons are already greatly improving my English. Thanks so mutch!

  • Thanks a lot Rachel, this lesson really helped me. I always could notice there was these linking words (When I didn't know what they were) but I couldn't realize they were really linked or just why they sounded like this in a fast conversation. Again, thanks for your hard work to help us improve our accent (or lose it lol). Great job here!

    Wish you a late Happy New Year!

  • Now I've just noticed that you have very beautiful eyes

  • @sergioanew Try learning IPA, after reading a few hundreds (or thousands) of pronunciations you'll learn the rules subconsciously, what's more, when learning a new language you'll be able to recognize such patterns faster. Good luck.

  • Rachel, i'm learning english and my english is not good enough to write a proper response, but thank you so much for this video, it helped me a lot! :)

  • I really like your videos. They've solved many of my questions. Can you tell me how you pronounce "th" in "Was he there?" Cause I cant say it quickly and naturally though I've tried:|

  • @rachelsenglish Thanks. I think I misheard you in 5:03.
