I teach using just one of many accents in the world. Please only learn it if you like it and if you are interested in learning it. I do not believe there is one “correct” accent or manner of pronunciation and I fully encourage EFL/ESL learners to expose themselves to as many varieties of English around the world to become accustomed to the beautiful variations of this world language. I focus mostly on teaching “Modern RP” (I may just say “RP” in my older videos, but to clarify, I do specifically mean “Modern RP”), however, you will hear a lovely little Yorkshire twang to my accent from time to time too. Please LOVE and BE PROUD of your accent. After all, it is part of your identity and makes you unique. 💚

Which one was new for you? 🤔
all of them tbh....
Hi Emma. All of them are new for me
none and im almost 46 but spend way too much time in the interwebz lol
I know ghost and the Tea. Salty, I could guess. Wow I didn't expect I'll learn this much 😉😀
I only know the “ghost” 😅😅
I stan Emma because of her teaching method always slaps me.😂
"Stan"
No cap!
W Emma iykyk 😉😂😂💀
Stan ≈ Stalker + Fan
W ≈ Win
L ≈ Lose
Ghost/ing 👻 ≈ Stop Chatting with someone and Disappearing.
Salty ≈ Someone who get angry Easy
Cap 🧢 ≈ Your Lying
The Tea/T ≈ Gossiping
iykyk ≈ If You Know, You Know
Send ≈ Find something very Funny
💀 ≈ Laugh 'till die
Clap Back ≈ Respond Criticism
Slap/s ≈ something that is Amazing
Go hard ≈ Amazing (usually used in music)
"Stan" comes from the Eminem song.
Thank you. This comment goes hard?.
@@TurkishKS how about "bet" bro? what does it mean
Wait, weren't salty a normal english word, and not a slang?
Never heard of this 'Gen Z' vocabulary before! I'm really grateful for this video lesson!
So, I give it a try with some of them!
1. Emma's way of teaching English slap, definitely!
2. We all stan 'Pronunciation with Emma' channel!
3. The humanity, genuinity and spontaneity in a teacher's voice is something that goes hard and makes us aware of the greatness hidden in that person! That's a part of what being a teacher, for me, is all about.
4. - trying to create a new acronym 😂: "Emma is not only a W teacher; she's WWW, that stands for Wonderfully, Wittilly, Win"
And about another one: W and I. They could stand for Win and Independent; 'cause the most important thing in life is when you give yourself - 'in primis' - and others the chance of doing something meaningful all your own and through big efforts. Doing something special being an independent person.
You are inspirational.
Thank you from an old lady (I mean a Gen X supporter) who still has the curiosity to learn from people like you!
Keep it up!
🙏
Hi!! Native english speaker here! You're doing well, but here's some feedback to work with these sorts of slang terms even better:
1. Emma's way of teaching English slaps. - You have to add the S on the end of "slap" since that's how the verb is conjugated to the third person singular present!
Recall the form:
I, you, we, he, you, they. Slap is correct for 5 of the 6, but if the subject (that which is doing the slapping) is third person singular (e.g. he, she, a single object, etc.) then it's slap*s*.
2. You can either add an article or drop the name to make it shorter at the end. So it should be: "We all stan *the* 'Pronunciation with Emma' channel." OR "We all stan Emma's channel." (most native). In the first case, we add a "the" because the specific "Pronunication with Emma" channel is a definite person or thing - in this case, a channel with THAT specific name. Whereas in the second case we drop the "the" because it's not defined (just a channel that belongs to Emma - no specifics).
3. You did it! All correct - although that has to be the politest way I've ever heard anyone use "goes hard" :)
4. All correct here again! Although wittily is spelled with only one 'l'.
Your English is really good! And slang is definitely hard to work with. Keep it up!

I sincerely want you to be

Loved
Because you have already deserved it most of all in your life.🌹🌹🌹🇺🇦
Super useful!
W teacher :D the comp slaps :P came here for "cap" (so it was new), but actually finally understood how "stan" was formed (makes so much more sense now). actually got the "send" and "go hard" ones, even though encountered a few times before :) the rest wasn't new but some of the explanations spilled some more light on 'em def :)) salty is way too prominent in gaming communities and a lot of stuff is seen a lot on social media comments and after a few times they're self-explanatory :D
Good vid! Thnx, keep slapping :D
Dear teacher ; vanakkam 🙏
all are new for me. Thanks a lot.
Send and slap are my favorite .

I watched this video with great laughter since its all coming together now....
I appreciate it. You are absolutely slaps.
Hahaha!!! We would say "your video slaps" :)
Hello Emma how are you I am new at your channel and I feel very happy when I saw your first video and then I subscribed your channel and Lear a lot of words with good pronunciation Gog bless you more and more. Acutely I am going to preparations of my OET exam by profession I am nurse.
W teacher your work is Stan ! You got a new subscriber 🎉
awesome 🎉
this video slaps!!
hi Emma all of the words are new to me💡
My lovely teacher Emma ❤
The only one I knew was -ghosting- and that is because someone I had a crush on, blanked me overnight, for reasons I have never found out and I did my own research. Thank you for all these updates in vocabulary and phrases.
Aww I'm sorry someone ghosted you :( that sucks
Your class definitively W!
I loved ghost!!😊
W video, Emma, as always!
You are so amazing
I stan Emma❤
I'm gen z but this video taugh me more than my whole life in the internet, no cap. Also I really stan Emma, she always makes great videos like this, her channel really slaps (? lol
Your videos are slaps 🎉
My favorite Gen Z word is "throwing" or "selling" (meaning that you did very bad on something, mostly on a test) because those words applies to my daily life the most.
W Teacher !!! Your class slaps me . I stan k-pop. Their songs are awsome . Iykyk . They post videos by clapping back to the haters . I love them fr .
Nice class love ya !!!
I am stan to you sister Emma your teaching tactics are slaps
Hi, thanks a lot!
Wouldn't say I'm your videos' stan but this one really slaps, all of them were new except 2 of them but I really liked stan, send me, slaps, iykyk, L and W, tea and generally all of them.
Btw I still have an ambiguity in my head about one of the contractions you used in the example of the slang "cap" and that's "No way she'd say that".
I will appreciate it if you explain it here in the comments what's the full form and what does it mean.
Nice video.
All of them were new. My favourite is "stan" - I like the song Stan by Eminem and now I understand the choice of the name.
Stan is also a name, short for Stanley :)
@@Pronunciationwithemma However, if you listen to the lyrics, the song actually is about a 'stan' of Eminem's. Maybe the word is not as new as we might think.
ខ្ញុំចូលចិត្តស្ដាប់អ្នកគ្រូ❤❤
Thank you for clarifying, when i saw Gen Z few months ago I thought was by Generation Zombie.
You are a good teacher.
🤣 i prefer your way more
This video slaps, and all of those were new for me😂😐
Slaps and go hard. Your most beautiful thing is that you can act when pronunciating any word you act with words.
Funny you mentioned Shakira. My dad used to be obsessed with her.
W teacher! Emma.
Your video slaps🦋📹💖💗
I have an example for goes hard
In cricket,, if a team is going to play a knockout game,, which can eliminate a them from the tournament, we say that
"They're gonna go hard at the opponent side".
Like there was a game in this world cup which was really important for Pakistan to win,, then we used it
"Pakistan are gonna go hard at England "
By the way the scenario was really difficult,IYKYK.
Hello Emma how are you I am new at your channel and I feel very happy when I saw your first video and then I subscribed your channel and Lear a lot of words with good pronunciation Gog bless you more and more. Acutely I am going to preparations of my OET exam by profession I am nurse. 🎉
