THANKS FOR SHARE YOU HAVE DONE A VERY GOOD JOB, IF I WERE BILL GATES I WOULD GIVE 5 MILLION DOLLARS FOR HELPING AND IMPROVE YOUR WEBSITE FOR TEACHING ENGLISH

Wonderful, I totally enjoyed in this lesson.

My best regards from Ukraine.You are a great teacher! Thank you for this video! They’re really useful!

hey, i wondered about the suitable age to learn these phonetic rules, i’m 14 and i speak English since i was 8. Well, it’s kinda my native language, bue what is makin’ me crazy is: do i need to know these rules in my age?
btw your videos are…………. i can’t describe them in words, but whar can i say?
hummmm… you are AWESOME!

1 person is embittered with your success, Teacher Jennifer. Don’t pay attention to her.
You are a great teacher!
My best regards from Mexico.

Hi,
Greetings from India!
Very useful and interesting video, thank you so much! I’m glad I came across this video as it sure is helping me prepare better for my MA English exams next month, giving me a lot of knowledge on different types of vowels.

Hi. I am an English teacher in Ecuador. I need to practice my English (listening specially). Write to me dannyharo87@hotmail.com Thanks.

gr8 job jennifer as i wrote in my earlier comment! i actually need to know which regions in US pronounce vitamins as “Ytamins” and “Vetamins”. i understand regions influence the dialects and am looking for some specific regions with diversity in their dialects….:) any insight would help!! thanks:)

great effort i must say. you guys are doing a wonderful job, and its not easy believe me

you are an excelent teacher and very pretty. I hope you to continue creating such beautiful videos. Edgar from Peru

thx for all your lesson Jennifer, you are the very best of my collection of english teachers… XD

Great and simple explanation of proper production of vowels. Keep up the good work!

If you only knew how tricky it can be for me to find time to record. Lately we’ve had so much snow in New England. The schools close, my kids are home, and little gets done! Actually, sometimes I film with one of my children in the room, and I must film and refilm until I can have total silence in the background for a short stretch of time… My son thinks I’m funny to watch.

Thanks a lot for this great and concise explanation…..

i need to thank you so much for doing this video. i was a bit lost today after learning this in class but after watching your vid i am beginning to understand it so much more. you have really helped me a lot.

@Pedrofrombrazil
Pedro from Spain agrees with you. This lessons can boost the pronunciation skills of a student of English as a second language. Awesome lesson!

I was waiting for these lessons, you made me wait!

@Pedrofrombrazil
Wow. Thanks for the high praise. I’m glad this approach is appreciated. Teachers receive this kind of training, so I figured, “Why not present this to the learners, too?” Knowing the groupings, like front vowels and high vowels, gives you insight. I hope you’ll follow the rest of the series. It may take some time to get it all published…

This is the best phonetic class I’ve ever taken in my life. This was the clearest explanation about the meaning of technical phonetical terms I’ve ever seen. Now I understand the role of tongue, lips, teeth, jaw in producing sounds and what’s open, close, tension, lax, front, back. Thx! Congrats! PS the image of the cat in the end 13:00 is very cute

@Aniafrompoland it is confusing to me too, when I think about it. “used to” versus “got used to” is one of those parts of language that doesn’t necessarily make sense. people just do it because it is “convention”. I hope you can understand it. good luck / powodzenia

Thank you for these videos! They’re really useful!

@moneyman10k Thank you so much!
It all helped a lot

@Aniafrompoland I’m not a teacher but maybe this helps too:

“I used to smoke cigarettes” (which means: I [past tense did] a [present tense activity]) =equals= “I smoked cigarettes” (I [past tense did this activity] to a [present tense object])

“I got used to smoking cigarettes” == “I adapted to smoking cigarettes” (both mean: I [past tense did this activity] which concerns [present tense object])

@JenniferESL Thank you veeeery much!
I’ll see your lesson :):):)

@Aniafrompoland
Hello!
1. I used to smoke. = I smoked in the past, but I no longer smoke. I gave up the habit.
2. I got used to smoking. = It took some time to become accustomed to smoking, but now it’s familiar and comfortable. (This sounds a bit strange, though. I think we’d use “get used to” in reference to another person’s smoking. “I don’t like smoke, but my roommate smokes a lot, so I got used to the smell. I’m used to his smoking now.”)
