I didn't even see it until I read your comment and went back to check where it was! I was totally focused on what you were saying, plus I really liked the brightness of this video. Thank you for your wonderful tips.
I have to say that not only you are an excellent teacher, you are funny, and to top it off, you're stunning! Cheers!
Lot's of love for you ETJ English. I love learning online .Your videos help me plenty. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this advice, Elliot. We will try to learn the IPA. Listening every day a video or two from teachers on youtube is also very useful. I've been doing this for a while and I'm crearly improving, comprehension and pronuntiation. Thank you, again!
Tomorrow I'll have a speaking test at my English school! Thank you very much for this video. I really appreciate your hard work and your amazing explanations!
Thanks for the brilliant pieces of advice; I need to know more of them in my way learning English. 👍
You have a distinctive and a fantastic way of teaching. Thanks very much Elliot.
Great tips indeed! 👌
I've started using all these techniques on a daily basis and it's really working. Cheers 😊
Your talking power is melodious, every day I watch your videos, I improved my speaking English ,so I want to give lot of thanks
Elliot, you are probably my best english teacher. I'm going to improve my english! Thankyou
Your accent is very clear and useful. thank you
Your lesson are always so much fun!
I love English and I loved it more and more when I heard you Elliott . Thank you very much.
Ciao Elliot, thank you from Italy , you are the best teacher in the world.
Lots of thanks for all your great videos!! I´m just so happy I found them!
That's amazing! I realizad after 5 years in the UK that I've been doing this exercises since I moved to England (except the "investing money" on courses, I would say my biggest improvement has been thanks to working with native speakers). One of the reasons I moved here was to improve my fluency in English and to loose that "Spanish" accent I had. Now I feel quite proud when people ask me where am I from, and when I say Spain, they can't believe it. I still need more practice, better grammar, more vocabulary and better pronunciation, my economic investment will be next September when I start Applied languages at university, studying English as a foreign language 😊😊😊.
I love seeing videos like this one, makes me happy to realize I didn't waste my time in these years where I got immersed in the English culture.
For those who cannot have the chance to travel, letting you know that there are many ways to improve your skills, back in Spain I used to go to meet ups with native speakers so they could practice Spanish and I could practice English, they were quite cool and you also learn about their culture which is always a plus hehe.
You're a very good and motivated teacher,you teach in a friendly way you're kind,a Persian proverb says:what comes from your heart sit on listeners heart, You're lessons are in my heart as I'm Efl teacher,you're lessons are rally useful and interesting. 👍👍🌼🌼
That was such a good advice for me. Thanks a million!
You're a great teacher! IPA is an incredible tool to improve the pronuntiation, it's true it's not easy at all but certainly worth it

I moved to the UK from Singapore (an English speaking country in Asia) when I was 17 but despite the fact that I am surrounded by my British friends everyday, I still face difficulties picking up the British accent. While it never caused any issues when it comes to making friends with the locals but it started affecting my career progression. All my ex and current partner are southern British, they all gave me the same feedback that the way I pronounce each word is very British but when I link them all into a sentence, I sound foreign. Not sure if your course would help with my situation. Also I found it almost impossible for me to pronounce the word “cold” and “milk”, would be grateful if you could make a video on words with the letter “l” in the middle! Thanks Elliott!
I enjoy when l watch you're videos so useful and l like you're accent .
Dear sir , i your accent is fabulous.
And i love your all these Videos.
I want to admit your pronunciation course.
I like British especially your video. Thank you so much
Wow thank you!!
I've started watching your videos 2weeks ago, I'm studying in Education college English department so I really need to improve myself more and I want to sound very much close to Britishers❤
I have a presentation to do next week and I'm afraid that I'm going to focus more on my pronounciation than the idea of the subject I'm going to talk about, I really want to look so confident about both.. please, I need some advice Mr.Eliot😊⚘
Thank you for all of your videos
Your subscriber from Iraq🍃🌷
It cheers me up. At the end of the video I was like: "Okay, I can do it!" 😂
Great video. Im one of those teachers that consider IPA quite important to implement since the very begining. Thanks for reinforce my interest on this and to keep pushing.. (unfurtanetely teachers in this part of Mexico think that a waste of time) but strongly believe it's not.
I really enjoy your videos! Greetings from Brazil
Your videos are very useful. Thank you! :) I watch a lot of films in English, and sometimes I try to imitate the actors in some scenes.
Sir, you are amazing. I try to imitate your pronunciation.
Thanks a million, Elliot. I work as a receptionist at the hotel and I so enjoy speaking to our British guests using the very British vocabulary that you teach us and sometimes I really take the British aback with my knowledge of British idioms and slang.
Returning to this particular video.. Could you please recommend us some channels/serials or obscure British TV shows, which could be helpful for enriching the vocabulary and to be more accustomed to British accent?
Hello Elliot! I have been studied IPA and it's true, it's very useful. Thank you very much. A kiss
Hi Elliot!
Thanks for ur nice guidance!
I always do my voice record! It is far better than before! Will try ur others guideline from today!!

Daily imitation is *THE* best for pronunciation/accent
I hope to speak like you. I enjoy your accent.
Hi Eliott, I found your channel recently and I really like your approach. I would be very interested to hear your pronunciation tips for Tom was on a rock (O sound) vs. the U sound (luck, run, guts) and eventually U sound vs. the shwa. Thumbs up mate!

Thanks Elliot
Great video Eliot
Your tips are useful. Could you make a video about dʒ sound? Thank you so much.
OMG i did the same thinv and stiil doing it before even i watch this video and know that i was right, i started to make my own tongue twisters, spacificaly with the TH sound in a way that i will need them in a conversation and practice to sah them while i’m at work, for example, they thought that there heading south, i think they threw it, 😃 thank you for your lessons

KURNIA LESTARI sama....
thx elliot 👏👏
great share.
How to pronounce the /th/ sound after /s/ for example like "these things" i sometimes find it quite struggling to do it😕
I want to sound like you.
There amazing feeling when you got every single word that he said 😄
You are really good
You have a pretty accent. I like it so much
My Idol is Harry Styles with his deep voice :')
Hi Elliott!
Many thanks for this video. It's very helpful ! I just noticed you used an expression that sounds really nice: "to walk around the house". What does it mean ? :-) Cheers in advance!
Now I'm gonna walk around in my place and practice to sound like British and imagine that I am born british :). Thanks for a helpful video
That's what I like to see! Commitment! Good luck
Hey Eliot THANKS A TON for these videos! These really help me! Still though, I wanna ask a question- Does our accent matter when we’re appearing for IELTS speaking Test?
They just want you to sound nice and clear. Pronunciation is one of the most important parts of the exam, so just make sure you're pronouncing sounds correctly. The accent itself isn't too important
Thank you, :D
I'm incorporating the techniques into my accent...
I think i just learn a new thing 😄😊
Elliot, do you ever go to the IATEFL conferences? I'd like to come to your workshop.
THANK YOU
Please more slag words and idioms😍😍🙌
+ I have a serious question, is it ok that I glotolize the T like SO MUCH ?
not too much. In the middle of a few words and at the end of some words. If you do it too much, it will just sound weird
Haha I see my self xD but I like it xD ...i'll try my best to correct that point thank you
Hi Eliott, as I study English I aim at nailing the British accent. However I find that when I struggle finding the words to say I don't focus on how I pronounce them and I end up loosening my accent (towards American).
In this respect it seems like the obstacle between me and a perfect accent is vocabulary. What would you say is a time-efficient way to widen my vocab?
