  • Thanks for uploading Dave!!! I have problem with pronoucing the end word in a past tense verb. Would you do it one day?

  • @laratran do you mean "ed" endings?

  • jaja "some rights reserved"

    man, I think it's sorta confusing the Z , C, S to me, they sound the same...or at least in the argentinian spanish they do...

  • @matikorn I can show you the difference quickly - see me on facebook and I'll give you a quick tutorial =)

see all

  • I love yours videos

  • I have a big problem with the TH sound, here in Brazil this sound is more or less how the sound of F. Example: Fish/Thisfh, with/wif, but I undestand every lessons, because you have a large love to teach us. Thank you

  • mmm It´ll keep you awake!!!

  • @EnglishMeeting I have this kind of problem too....it's not easy!!!

  • Good job!

    It´s difficult to keep the correct pronunciation when I speak quickly.

    When you pronounce words with "TH" slowly - I can see your tongue, but when you pronounce it quickly I do not see it.

  • Hey Dave! I love your videos They 're helping me a lot, I struggle puting R and D together. I'm from Mexico, I've lived in tennessee for the last eleven years..

  • awesome explanation!

    English sounds are tough to imitate, but I'm giving it my best shot!

  • I like your videos Dave, theay are a good teaching and good practice. Hamzy91, the position of the tongue in the pronuntiation of "R" in English is the same in Spanish, the difference is in Spanish it has vibration. Dave, I follow you in twitter, I will be in touch to you!

  • i know your channel today, and i loved it, tomorrow i will speak with my friends about your videos. i know a little how write, but my pronunciation is so bad..

    ah, i love coffee, coffee is so good. :) see you. later i will see the others videos

  • when I pronounce the R sound my tongue touches the roof of my mouth...it doesn't touch my teeth...and it is curled up.....but I think my R sounds like yours...

    I don't know, but it seems imposibble to pronounce the R sound without touching the roof of your mouth a lil bit, because if I don't touch anything it sounds like a british R. :S
