You are very welcome! In my opinion, no matter is small if it leaves you feeling uncomfortable. And guess what? I think I CAN imagine. I learned a second language as an adult, too. I'm sorry for this very long delay, but I'm going to upload new videos very soon. Are there any topics you would suggest that I cover, either for yourself or for points that you think are confusing for other students?

Yes, Yes, it confused me for a little long time. Only today I searched for answer and then I found this video. Fortunately, normally we can just say a as the 97% sound. Sounds great.

Thank you. I'm from Argentina and I have english classes at school and one of the teachers I used to have pronounced the "A" like "Ei" for every word, for example she used to say "A (ei) cat" And it got me so confused because I always knew this word was pronounced like "A" (Ah)

Hi! I gained from your explanation. I teach Communication Skills and its noticeable that many people say eh, eh ,ah um very often as fillers to think and speak. And the real short a- discussed here, gets mixed up as a filler word- eh, ah, um So I tell them to say their real short a very clearly ! So is it alright to say the Long A to explain oneself

Nice explanation, and great examples, man! I explain it to my ESL students pretty much the same way. I’ve found that a lot of people, when they’re trying to sound well-spoken and articulate, will make the mistake of “hyper-correcting” and pronounce the long a sound. By the way, buddy, at 4:21, you said “…thuh article…” instead of “…thee article…”😊
@jamesdewane1642
3 ай бұрын
In ten years, you're the first one to notice that detail at 4:21! I tell my students that fixating on the formal forms actively interferes with their ability to understand. And those same students pronounce silent letters and don't like linking words together and other effed up BS that all stems from paying too much attention to the English they've invented for their internal dialogues, and very little attention to what they actually hear.

As you mentioned there's no right or wrong, I'm from the South of England, so very close to the King's English, which is the gold standard for speaking English. My English teacher always told me to say a and not uh, as that's common, slang like speaking, you'd never hear a royal say uh 😂😂
@jamesdewane1642
6 ай бұрын
There is a British linguist on KZitem, Geoff Lindsay, whose videos give plenty of examples of royals not using what you refer to as the King's English. He sees reduced forms as an integral part of English. His video featuring the Pink Panther is entertaining and all about rhythm, featuring many examples from Shakespeare.

I'm the guy in this video. I would guess it's something about trying to be as correct as possible all the time. It's like the t getting pronounced more and more in often. These things shift around as languages change over time. Who knows? In 50 years the reduced form might sound uncouth.

In that case we use "an." The letter u is a bit tricky because we say a university but an uncle. In "university" the first part sounds like "you," and that sound of y is considered a consonant sound, not a vowel sound. I wanted to do a very short and focused video on "a" so I didn't go into "an."
