===============================================
NAME:- Elizabeth (Liz)
WHERE DO YOU LIVE? - England (UK)
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN 5 WORDS? - ‘Outwardly innocent, but inwardly knowing’.
WHERE IS THE MOST INTERESTING PLACE YOU'VE TAUGHT? - That would be a one-to-one in a young Italian man’s flat in southern Italy. When he invited me to teach him at his home, I stupidly thought that Mamma would be there cooking the lunch, but no, it was a bachelor pad and no sign of Mamma! I eventually left having learned more about Italian customs than he had learned English!
BEST TEACHING MOMENT? - One of my greatest achievement was when a couple of very naughty teenage Belgian students were sent here to England to learn English. They had been expelled from several schools in their own country and this was their last chance to prove themselves. After a few months of playing around in different levels, and coming close to being expelled again, they eventually ended up in my FCE class. Now they had two chances - respect their teacher and learn something or go back to Belgium. Well, they did go back to Belgium but not before they had passed their FCE! They became my two favourite students of all time. I love a challenge!
HOW MANY STUDENTS HAVE YOU TAUGHT? Over 10 thousand
WHAT'S YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING TEACHER MOMENT? - It happened during a DELTA observed lesson. One of my students happened to suffer from Tourette’s syndrome. Of course, I had no reason to worry, I had mentioned the fact in my lesson plan, and anyway, this student had never caused a problem before. However, today was different. Very different. Upon eliciting the required information from him - not wanting to leave him out - instead of answering the question in his usual fashion, he suddenly exhumed a torrent of swear words from somewhere deep within himself. After this cathartic experience he looked very pleased with himself but, unfortunately, this was not really the answer I was looking for. Everything went quiet, I looked over at the examiner who looked rather shocked. It certainly wasn’t your run-of-the-mill DELTA exam! BUT I passed!

Thank you for all the wonderful lessons and information that you provide. I want to ask you a question, please: Do you speak at the usual speed that you speak in your daily life? Or do you deliberately speak slowly so that non-English speakers can understand you? Thank you.

Hello dear Professor
I really appreciate your interesting information about English, i really appreciate your job.
I wish you peace and happness under the sky of prosperity. All the best. Take care and have a good time.
Your Student from Algeria.
Thank you Said. ❤️ Love & 🕊Peace. Liz
you are adorable, your work is great, your explanation is the best of the best.
Wow! Thank you! 😃. Love❤️ & 🕊️Peace. Liz
My mother tongue is Cantonese. Dark L is hard for me. I just found out why dark L is easy to say after linking. Ex little apple.
"lapple" the dark l became light L. Dark L alone is still not easy for me. I'll try. Thanks again.
Keep practising. Love ❤️ & 🕊️Peace. Liz
Mam,cool
Good morning darling, you did a good job thanks for that.
Good afternoon Lulu. Thank you. Love ❤️ & 🕊Peace. Liz
This is so useful. I have found I pronounce double ll (drilled, billed etc) as a w. I think this is wrong.
Glad to help. Double L is never a 'w' sound, just remember that as it's after a vowel it will de a Dark L. Love ❤️ & 🕊Peace. Liz
Hello dear, I really like the video and I am still struggling with producing words such as although, already and alright etc., would you mind sharing your thoughts about it please?
Hi. With words like although and already where the letter l is after the letter a, we do not pronounce the letter l. We say 'or' Try this- or-ready, or-though, or-right, or-ways. Say the words smoothly, no gaps.
Let me know how you get on. ❤️ and 🕊
❤❤
👍
For the dark L, does the blade of the tongue or the tip of the tougue make full contact with the alveolar ridge? Thanks!
Hi Leung. The simple answer is, for dark L, the blade is in contact with the alveolar ridge, but note that in contrast to light L, the tongue remains in contact with the alveolar ridge. The back of the tongue is also raised towards the soft palate maintaining the alveolar lateral sound. A great way to practice is to say the word 'little' and contrast the difference between the light L at the beginning with the dark L towards the end. Hope that makes sense. ❤️ & 🕊
@@EnglishwithLiz Thank you Liz! You said when the dark l functions as a syllable, we raise the back of the tongue towerd soft palate. But do we also have to raise it towerd soft palate when we pronounce the dark l as in words like all, bill and will etc.?
In ‘Royal Mail’, is it necessary to use tongue tip to touch alveolar ridge when pronouncing l sound in Royal? It seems not natural and troublesome to touch alveolar ridge when linking words (here mail) with consonant starting.
You are right about this, Minyi. In fast speech when when /l/ precedes a consonant, the tongue does not usually touch the alveolar ridge. Instead of this, the lips move in preparation for the/m/ sound. It is completely up to the speaker if they wish to speak this way and is very common to hear.😊
@@EnglishwithLiz Thanks a lot!😀
03:05 dark L
Thank you. I'll try and put some chapters in this video. Love ❤️ & 🕊Peace. Liz
My sweet soul❤❤❤❤
💗💖💕👍🏻🙏🍀
My native language is Japanese, so still, the pronunciation L often drives me crazy!
Very clever Rio, great use of 'still'.😀❤
ok
Love❤️ & 🕊Peace. Liz
Why do so many Brits pronounce "Dark L", at the end of a word, like "ɛw"?
Miss are you American?
This Liz chick is hot
Well, thank you Michael. ❤️ & 🕊
@@EnglishwithLiz no problem
Why are you pronouncing “lamb” as “lamp”?😅
I've listened to it again and I hear 'lamb' not 'lamp' 🤷♀️. Love❤️ & 🕊Peace. Liz
@@EnglishwithLiz i've tried to point out a sound like "p" after "m"
Shouldn't that sound as "lam"?
and please accept my admiration.
/læm/ but I listened back again and the first time I pronounce the word 'lamb' there is a slight 'lip' sound at the end of the word that's picked up by the microphone 🤷♀
Great videos, but some mistakes here, such as / ˈterəb(ə)l / not / ˈtereb(ə)l /. This could have been avoided.
Thank you so much for pointing that out, and the editor is now in 'the dog house'. I try so hard to check before publishing, but sometimes mistakes slip through. Love ❤️ & 🕊Peace. Liz
For the light L, the tongue tip touches the alveolar ridge.
For the dark L, the tongue tip does NOT touch the alveolar ridge.
Hi. I think there's a misunderstanding here. If you watch the video again, you'll find it's not so straightforward love ❤️ &✌️peace
