4 Indispensable Rules For Better English Pronunciation

4 Indispensable Rules For Better English Pronunciation
The most common one: iceberg. From dutch ijs 'ice' + berg 'mountain'.
I couldn't agree more with you. (By the way, this turn of phrase may be confusing for some folks out there) - In fact, I believe that those who strive for more, will always benefit from it. As I tell my pupils, prepare to run a marathon, by doing so, you will make everything else feels like a walk in the park.
Middle class Brits who speak with an RP accent would pronounce "fear" much more like the Indian chap. Saying "Feeyah" like Gideon does is typical of working class Londoners.
In São Paulo there is the first viaduct built in 1892, called Viaduto do tea, there was a black tea plantation, we say "Viaduto do Chá"
Marathi manus.. Barack watla solapurkar baghu ..
WRONG CHINESE WORD. Tea is茶, NOT 荼
in case you are interested, yes, any Chinese can spot this typo 10 miles away.... 荼actually means poisoning!
BTW, it reminded me sometimes ago a English museum or art society post a beautiful "Chinese calligraphy" which is a prostitution ad in newspapers.... The calligraphy is beautiful alright.... You English better let Chinese to take a look before you post anything Chinese!
Ajay: in Marathi' very' is pronounced as 'whery' and'news' as 'newz'and . Punabi pronounces 'pleasure ' as pleyar" Bengali pronounces'very' as 'bery" as there is no equivalent for 'V' sound. Tamils have there own way of talking.Kannada prounounces 'Uncle' as Unkal"Malayalee says"october' as 'voctober".Telugu people say 'page' as 'paze', 'zero' as 'jeero" normally g as ze and Z as j the list goes on.But overall we understand each other very easily!
I love this, thank you!! I live for your videos 😂 Mint is a similar case: it comes from the Ancient Greek ("minthē") in most languages yet others got a word inspired by the Arabic ("na’na"). In Europe, only the Turkish and people formerly known as Yugoslavians use the latter. P.S. tu n’arrives pas à dire "thé" mais tu arrives à prononcer les voyelles nasales ? 🤔
Excelente video 👌👍
vadem - fathom ( distance of what you can hold putting your arms around it - omvatten... ).
In Polish, we call it "herbata" (herba-TA), so the Dutch version is the origin, but it must've been additionaly stressed that it's a type of herb.
So interesting! Thank you from Italy (where “tea” is “tè” or also “the”)
The etymology of tea, excuse me, “chai”; much more interesting than I ever knew! Fascinating.
Very interesting. Thanks ! Being Irish & English descent- tea is a important thing!!
This video felt like a reverse psychology card pulled on Indians😅... Doesn't say Indian pronunciation is wrong but comes up with giving a platform to something as Indian accent ... hearing which every White person, British, Murican and even non- English European speakers laugh at. - On the contrary, Indians laugh at Indians having Texas or Yorkshire accent. 😂
what about sir david attenborough ? is he speaking rp or posh
Thanks a lot. Really interesting and motivating!
Hello Gideon , you are a fantastic teacher !!
indian english sounds more like it's spelled unlike other english dialects
Pomme sounds so similar to the Tamil word பழம் (paɻam). "param" when read with American accent.
Loved it! 😂
People living in colder areas need to use more energy to speak loudly than those in warmer regions. For example, sound travels faster in India than in England.
Thank you both....the point is that it's not exactly the same ..to be able to communicate in a new language ,to know the language and to pass the exams !!!😢

The more frequent use of the present continuous is an influence of the Gaelic language. In Gaelic the present continuous is the preferred form, and so asking someone, "What are you wanting?" is perfectly idiomatic. Gaelic is also the reason that, as you point out, galore is unusual in that it comes after the noun. In Gaelic it is normal for adjectives to follow the noun. Another interesting insight into the culture is that the expression "ceart gu leòr" (gu leòr -> galore) means "right enough". The phrase "right enough" is common in Scots, and often used where the English would use alright. "Are you alright, mate? Aye, right enough." An interesting insight into where the two nations sit on the purist to pragmatist scale.
I lived near an indian comunity in South Africa in 1965 to 1979. It would be interesting to compare the two.
I am from Solapur
You are welcome here.
I have the answer for ´good name’.
Very interesting from an Indian’s perspective.
air dash is not used in India, the phrase is 'by air'. Also, we ask for the good name because we have two names. One is the name that is used by our parents, relatives, and friends, the other name - 'good name' is what we use professionally or in formal relations. Ajay is a good name, he must have a nickname which his parents or friends call him by.

Read many books on different subjects and topics. Read 3 hours a day at least. And listen to the intelligent people whose language is rich and grammatically correct. Through this ordeal you will learn English. It will take you 5 years at least if you read and listen every day. Be patient. There is no other way. Believe me.
Hi frankly I work with Indian people, the accent very very hard, some words or letters very different like t, w and r. Need to more time for understanding.
Hindi derived from Persian.
Loved this one. You should try all south asian countries. Itd be so interesting to see the differences
This is a very peculiar idea about "native speakers." This guy loves the sound of his own voice.
There are many dialects of English in India. And just by the English we can often identify where from India a person is.
I don’t think Normandy and England were one country. My understanding is that for a time William I and his successors ruled both but I don’t think they made them one country.
Well teacher , maybe now it doesn’t seem a good advice say to someone move to the anglos countries but in fact it’s a good advice say to someone who want to learn english language move to the anglos countries because the anglos people are whom speak best english language because it’s their mother language and as we are non english speakers or our countries are not countries in where english is a common language, maybe you won’t find someone with who practice our knowings of english language

Indian English is similiar to American english such R pronunciation and Pants vs trouser and so on
