Not to be a pain in the arse or something, but you can't learn English from such a short video. No offence. But I think it might work better, if you make the video slightly longer, with subtitles everwhere. In that case people can read alond and it is easier to repeat it. I like the fact that you used a less used sentence =]!

Kind regards,

Thanks for your comment. This video is made for students such as those I currently teach in China who may study English for six years without ever saying more than a few words. They've already learned thousands of words so this is the next step. After sentences, they can try texts such as my jokes here on You Tube. After that, they can try the BBC or other "authentic" texts made for native English speakers. So, this video is just one step in the whole process.

I understand teacherjoe where your comming from, but we have some foreign exchange student that aren't comfortable talking in english because they think we'll make fun of them so its nice to let them know that just because they dont speak in perfect pronunciating english that we can understand them ^.^

[teacherjoedeveto]

You bring up a good point. Being absolutely perfect does not matter. Getting enough practice so that you can be understandable does matter. My current students in China, as well as millions of students of English around the world, often get less practice in a year than foreign exchange students can get in a day. My videos are really directed at those students who NEVER have the chance to practice English out loud and may not yet be able to say a single sentence in English.

Hey Im american and I say all of ya'll are doing an amazing job^.^ and no it doesn't matter about the rising and lowering of sounds, you'd sound sound extremely weird. Hmmm maybe I should send in a voice recording

[teacherjoedeveto]

Sorry NA but it DOES matter! If one of my students met you and called you Knee-Fare-Ee-Ss-Lee Awe-Some From Gee Or Gee Ah, without normal English stress, wouldn't you find THAT strange? That is how many students around the world try to pronounce English.

I am an immigrant here in Canada but yet I am fluent in english.. I guess this is helpful too.. I am fluent in english even if I had nobody to talk too but its really weird coz when I get here in Canada and I started talking to english people I just feel like I'm speaking my own language and its just weird how I learn how to speak and pronounce it.. maybe from the movies its a helpful thing too.. listen to english movies.. thats why I have american accent! ^^ by the way im a filipino.. :P

Obama says Americans need to learn Spanish, & he’s embarrassed for us. I for one could care less what Obama thinks; I’m doing perfectly well speaking English. I’m getting tired of some guy coming into office looking down his nose at me. Ill learn Spanish when you do Obama, hows that? How do U say, “I wanna cut his nuts off” in Spanish? The spell check says all my English words R spelled properly, except Barack & Obama, R these some of them foreign words he wants me to learn?

Creep.

i really agree with you Joe. Thanks. I mean, non-native english speakers could learn a hell lot of words.. even memorized the dictionary but often would be render speechless when speaking with a native -english speaker because of intonation and rhythm.

Que en Español equivale a la expresión: "Al que madruga, Dios le ayuda". Very nice video!

[GoAlienUFO]

Keep making these such videos please, I want to learn them all day!!!!

Then you will learn one more sentence, then one more after that. Eventually you can start learning whole stories, until one day, you will speak English almost as well as your first language. Start by taking one step at a time.

Shoot down the early bird and thats how I get the worm.

[DarthScosha]

This is a bad way to learn English stay clear of this video, you have a bad accent for this. For the word "Early" you are saying "RRRleee" you expect foreign people to say this ? they will sound stupid !

[miguelitomania]

i have a question.... could i speak english without the hispanic accent? =D
