Thank you. I'm a native English speaker. This is strengthening me for my upcoming confrontation with the French vowel sounds
"That's what reading English is like. You have to see one thing, and say something else." 😂
IPA should be true English letters
Thats why non natives speak English so wrong. and cant understand what are they pronounce.

@@masteroffootball5828 What?
This was such a helpful video! I have always struggled with Phonetics, but this has been so informative, and easy to follow. I definitely don't think it is for everyone - like you said - but this information has assisted me in finishing my assignment! FANTASTIC video all 'round :)
Hi..
I hope it will help me finish mine.Im studying Italian in University and IPA is part of my course.It may be helpful to some people , in my case however, it is proving to be an utter waste of time
Great lesson, I enjoyed it a lot. I now understand that learning IPA is not a hard nut to crack. In fact, it is fun. Thanks a bunch. I love this channel and your method of teaching.
A very useful tool for learning IPA that helps a lot with relation to different accents is the word reference both the site and application for free use.
Thanks for the very useful video. For me, IPA is critical to learn. Because as a non-native speaker to English, it's hard to read English books without learning IPA. Too many new and high level words I encounter every time I read an English book. Thanks ❤🌹
*Your generosity overwhelms dear Sir...*
Thank you for a lovely clear explanation. Sometimes I write sepat IPA characters on top of letters or syllables of words with tricky pronunciation.
Hi, teachers! I love this video, really informative. I'd seen IPA in my dictionaries ,but I didn't know how to use them or pronounce them. Finally, this video has solved my problems. Thank you!
We're happy it was useful for you, Aung!
From my point of view British English is the most beautiful accent, that man has a wonderful accent! Somehow I am gonna have to copy it!
Excellent video. I've included your video on our 180-Hour Higher Certificate in TESOL course for suggested videos in our Teaching Pronunciation unit. Keep up the great work!
Thank you teachers, I really appreciate this lesson, I'll practice more my IPA .
Great! We're glad you enjoyed the lesson!
Thank you for this lesson. Ofcourse want to learn IPA in detail.
The best way for me to have the best pronunciation. Thank you.
Back in 1990’s when I was a pupil in a Russian school we used to divide each page into 3 columns named “word/transcription/translation” & write down the word itself, then it’s symbols & finally the Russian translation. I have never learned any reading rules, coz it was so natural to remember the words by symbols. I’ve never heard the term IPA before this video.
A very clear and helpful video; thank you!
Thanks, especially useful for me in pronunciation of names and places - for historical studies
Both is very helpful for English learners, IPA and listening as much as possible. A successful method to improve pronunciation is listening and reading at the same time by using audios with subtitle.
Thanks for watching and sharing, Hugo!
IPA is the main solution to help you improve your speaking skill most efficiently.

Better say: his pronounciation rather than saying him pronounciation. Regards . I love Sherlock Holmes( Jeremy Brett) , so much .

Really useful video😍.. Thanks from 🇮🇳India
Very helpful video❤️❤️❤️
Thank you very much for this video !
Thanks Oxford Online English
It would be helpful pedagogically if polysyllabic words were syllabified. For example, in the lesson, is given the IPA transcription /'tiːtʃə/, which does not tell us that the pronunciation is unique, unless one learns to syllabify it. As a matter of fact, roughly half of British people pronounce /'tiːtʃə/ as ['tiː tʃə] (meaning that one pronounces ['ti:] first, followed by [tʃə]). The other half pronounce /'tiːtʃə/ as ['tiːt° °tʃə] (meaning that the 1st syllable is ['tiːt°], the 2nd syllable is [°tʃə]. The intervocalic /tʃ/ is rendered ambi-syllabic, in that [t° stands for the compression stage in the articulation of the /t/ in the affricate /tʃ/, and °t] the hold and release stage of the /t/ in /tʃ/).
so perfect ..many thanks
Thank you, I appreciated your efforts
You're welcome, Hani!
Thank you very much This vedio is very useful for a native speaker
Using wiktionary and IPA, I've enriched my pronunciation with words and sounds no British person ever heard. I'm still not sure whether it's a good thing, but IPA is definitely a great invention. Thanks for the video!

Hi. I'm Shammi from Sri Lanka. I'm a university student reading for BA in English. This video was luckily found while I was studying IPA for my 1st year-end exam which will be held on coming Sunday. This video was not only interesting but also very helpful for me. Thank you very much. I would be very grateful to you if you can suggest to me how to improve my vocabulary and accent. Are there free online classes for outsiders like me?
