this video is very useful. Thank you.

You are welcome :)

I'm American, I'm just watching this for no particular reason. Interesting. I think you did a great job but next time I would suggest maybe trying to speak more slowly and enunciate more. I imagine that a lot of foreigners might have trouble understanding you. :( Just a suggestion. Great job though!

Hey, miz!

first 30 seconds = totally unintelligble for EFL learners.

sorry to tell you THAT.

but you're speaking WAY to FAST for them!

Especially when it comes to reduction and stuff like that!

Why is she so tired ? is she running lol ?

[guimasun]

I couldn't understand most of your explanations, the last part, it seems that you're tired, or trying to finish the video as fast as possible.

Good ideas with bad execution.

I hate the American Accent, its not Accent Reduction at all. American Pronounce the Vowels to Strong

Eh... I would think the intonations would sound more strange than hostile. :/
